In Toronto, roots country is hip on the Queen Street rock club scene.
Our favourite Albertan, k.d. lang came out of that scene, as well as
Lori Yates (she records for CBS out of Nashvill now; another country
punk sold out, like k.d.).

When I was up there at the end of June, street vendors were selling
tie-dye shirts to punkers in black leather and frayed denims; the
background music blaring away was vintage Johnny Cash.

The Toronto music scene is (and has been) very interesting, and is
still roundly ignored by the American rock media.  (There was a hint
of it in Rolling Stone's Summer issue, listing what the Cowboy Junkies
liked to do on summer weekends.)
