What kind of information do you need? There are so many sites to suggest, but it could be narrowed down if we were given some specific needs.

Anything I can do, let me know.

I'd go with the nationalism paradox: Gord hates the divisive nature of nationalism, yet he and the band are a symbol of nationalism for some people.

Their allusion and reference, within their works, to Canadian culture, art, politics and history in general is another cool angle. You can find in their work an awareness of "our stories" that is lacking in mainstream Canadian culture... which would be cool to contrast with the Quebec star system which certainly fete's nous autres. (How's THAT for Franglais)

I'd suggesting searching those subjects here, breezing by Brazel's site, and generally scanning reviews of albums and shows which are always good for content.

Other than that, Bon Chance.

Oh, and "Have Not Been The Same" a book about Can-Rock is a must read if you wanna cover their origins, reasons for being etc.
