Wow! Gotta say that I didn't expect such a message (Should I say sorry? 🇨🇦 )
There's indeed quite a difference across Canada. Even more in relation to language. Depending on which region you are from, you might be completely ignorant to what's being done in another. I'm from Montreal and I've been mainly working with french speakers. Because of that, the last tour I was on was limited to the East Coast. There's really a big wall between the two languages in the music business. There are some french speaking communities and areas in the west, but the cost and risks are too big for the prods to go there with the eastern artists. And vice-versa! We rarely receive Anglophones artists in Quebec too, unless they are already worldwide 😒
It's even worse in the country side. Montreal is like a different world from the rest of the province in terms of music. A lot more creation and diversity, but it sadly doesn't spread in the province.

Reading back your message, I think it's actually kind of the same situation as in the States: some regions are more about original stuff and others about covers. I'm mainly aware of what's going on in Quebec, but it's a lot alike. Plus the fact that the business is saturated in offers vs demands, but that's another topic
Anyway, thanks for the welcoming. I didn't know what to expect coming here, but I'm already starting to like it
