Here is a little something I came across while surfing this morning ...
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/c/canada.htm
It is a page devoted to various superheroes, both obscure and not-so-obscure, of Canadian origin.
It makes one wonder why, with all of the talent and creativity Canadians regularly display, we "cant" (ie. won't, refuse too, etc.) create our own comic universe and company ... with interesting characters, consistently fair artwork, and entertaining stories. I betcha there is talent enough on this list alone to produce a title or two.
