Lol I've never heard Avril Lavigne. Slightly after my time, I think. I've only heard jokes about her.
When I think of Canada, I think of Kids in the Hall and Neil Young. And there's an island there that has some insect my kid wants to track down and see. Cool associations, but I'm definitely not thinking of anything that would be empowering to women. Hmm. Hockey is neat. Nope. I'm not qualified to offer an opinion here.
