we need to add Canary Yellow Canoe, no? how many of those places are Canadian?

http://www.lightfoot.ca/glgeog.htm ie. the Lighfoot site's Geographical references list is probably a good start for browsing

I love English bay and Hasn't Hit me Yet by Blue Rodeo but mainly cos they also have great grooves for driving to and tapping fingers to on the steering wheel

Alberta Bound, yup

4SW, no doubt

I guess I'm looking for a top five that have the references plus that toe tapping road traveling groove

North Country by Rankin Family????? The reference is the title itself, what more do you need

Stompin Tom with C A. N. A. D. A for a groove and references

Running back to Saskatoon might takes the cake, yeah

I used to travel alone doing site work along north shore of Superior by plane and then car rental so I made tons of great Canadian travel cassettes in the 80s... certainly some Hip there

a runner up traveling classic could be Locked In the Trunk of a Car

Lol

There is really no end to this list especially when bringing out the non radio recordings like Tim has with Hiway Songs and another that is more sedating but still fits my own def is Somewhere USA but it may not make it by the CBC CanCon filters
