We're going to round up the most popular answers and create a #Canada150 playlist for YOU to listen to at www.cbcmusic.ca
Quickly, off the top of my head - "Lovers In A Dangerous Time" - Bruce Cockburn
My favorite line in a song:
Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
Honorable Mention
"Echo Beach" - Martha & The Muffins
"Wake Up" - Arcade Fire
"The Laws Have Changed" - New Pornographers
"The Bleeding Heart Show" - New Pornographers
"High School Confidential" - Rough Trade
"Analog Kid" - Rush
"Everything You've Done Wrong" - Sloan
Neil Young and Joni Mitchell - lots!

Not taking The Tragically Hip into account too many to list;
"Cuts like a knife" - Brian Adams
"Working for the weekend" - Loverboy
"Ironic" - Alanis
"Clumsy" - Our Lady Peace
"Ocean Pearl" - 54-40
"Just between you and me" - April Wine
"Fantasy" - Aldo Nova
"The Oaf" - Big Wreck
"My Girl" - Chilliwack
"Digging a hole" - Big Sugar
"One more astronaut" - I Mother Earth
"On the loose" - Saga
"Safety Dance" - Men Without Hats
I could go on but there's a lot of good pop and rock songs over the decades from Canadian artists.
