[ont.sf-lovers] Canadian sci-fi

Although I read a fair amount of science fiction I don't know which if any of
it is written by Canadians. Can someone recommend me an author or two? What do
you netpeople have to say about the anthology TESSERACTS ?

Well, there's always Spider Robinson for SF.  And in the fantasy world,
we have Guy Gavriel [sic?] Kay, and the recently-mentioned 
Tanya Huff.  There's the Bunch of Seven, the names of whome I do not
know off hand.  There's lots more, but memory fails me..

And then of course, there's only the guy who won the Hugo a couple of
years ago, William Gibson.  Totally unknown Canadian SF writer there.
