Canadian Albums of 2009 #41-#50

If you haven’t noticed on this site that I’ve been doing my Best of 2009 list.
While compiling my best of “Canadian albums”.
I felt I shouldn’t do a Top 10 since there were alot of great albums released in 2009.
Decided to break it down to a top 50 list and in five parts.
