Robertson Davies is pretty good. Northrop Frye is top tier in literary criticism. We can kind of claim Malcolm Lowry and Saul Bellow. Alice Munro as mentioned earlier is good for short stories. Not a fan of Yann Martel or Margaret Atwood, but they're big names you might want to look into.

Aside from those there are a number of good local colour writers like L.M. Montgomery, Stephen Leacock and Robert Service. Canadian literature isn't really up their with the greats, but it has some comfy stuff.

We're better at poetry. And we drip with morals like winter tapped maples. Our dicks are all spigots. We're like hard cocks on ssri's that never come, just pounding syrup and filling buckets. We don't like americans, but we sure do make their money sing with our welcomeness.

I almost bought that French book about you, and then I escaped the book store and went home and looked at my pile of unread books and sighed. I'm growing as a human being.
