Ugh, silly me (edited them out from the post)
Also note that Adam Gontier is the featured artist on Apocalyptica's "I Don't Care", though since Apocalyptica themselves are Finnish I don't know if that counts for the list.

(Artie Ziff), did you ever get more info on this? Off the top of my head, as long as we're using Billboard, OLP's "Clumsy" and Len's "Steal My Sunshine" were both #5 peaks, and Theory Of A Deadman's "Bad Girlfriend" peaked at #6, so they might make this list. Metric - Breathing Underwater: #11 Arcade Fire - Ready To Start: #16 Tragically Hip - Courage: #16 I think 1 Nickelback, "How You Remind Me" #1 (13) 38 weeks 2 Alanis Morissette, "You Oughta Know" #1 (5) 19 weeks 3 Crash Test Dummies, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" #1 (5) 17 weeks 4 Three Days Grace, "Pain" #1 (4) 30 weeks 5 Chad Kroeger Featuring Josey Scott, "Hero" #1 (3) 21 weeks 6 Finger Eleven, "Paralyzer" #1 (1) 52 weeks 7 Sum 41, "Fat Lip" #1 (1) 28 weeks 8 Barenaked Ladies, "One Week" #1 (1) 26 weeks 9 Apocalyptica Featuring Adam Gontier, "I Don't Care" #2 (3) 50 weeks 10 Default, "Wasting My Time" #3 (1) 37 weeks 11 Sarah McLachlan, "Building A Mystery" #3 (1) 26 weeks 12 Our Lady Peace - Clumsy 13 Len - Steal My Sunshine 14 Theory Of A Deadman - Bad Girlfriend 15 Metric - Breathing Underwater 16 Arcade Fire - Ready To Start would work well enough

So "Breathing Underwater" it is. I'm gonna start because YOLO, and this is based on Billboard, where DFA1979 at this point has about a 0% chance of getting past #12 with those recurrent rules...Here it is, AirBrackets top Canadian acts on U.S. Alternative.
1. Nickelback - "How You Remind Me": Love them both, but Nickelback gets this.
16. Metric - "Breathing Underwater"
8. Barenaked Ladies - "One Week"
9. Apocalyptica Ft. Adam Gontier - "I Don't Care": I don't mind "One Week", but it's a bit overrated.
2. Alanis Morissette - "You Oughta Know"
15. Theory Of A Deadman - "Bad Girlfriend": This woulda been close if the Alanis song was "Ironic"
7. Sum 41 - "Fat Lip": Toughest decision of the round.
10. Default - "Wasting My Time"
3. Crash Test Dummies - "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm": My most carefree decision of this round.
14. Cowboy Junkies - "Sweet Jane"
6. Finger Eleven - "Paralyzer": Tough one, two great songs.
11. Sarah McLachlan - "Building A Mystery"
4. Three Days Grace - "Pain"
13. Len - "Steal My Sunshine": Another really difficult one. "Steal My Sunshine" is awesome.
5. Chad Kroeger Ft. Josey Scott - "Hero"
12. Our Lady Peace - Clumsy": This should be the universal easiest decision of the round. "Clumsy" should've been a #1.
