When were the Cancon rules established? The 90s had Shania Twain and Alanis Morissette, who had 2 of the 3 best-selling albums of the decade, and Come On Over has become the best selling album by a solo female artist of all time.
It would probably be tough to find a period since the 60s where no Canadian artists were heavily played in the US. Between The Band, Joni Mitchell, Rush, Gordon Lightfoot, Bryan Adams, Neil Young, Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Michael Bublé, Arcade Fire, Drake, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, and The Weekend, you've covered a massive span with huge artists.

I don't deny that Canadian musicians have been extremely successful, I just would struggle to credit CanCon for that. Most of the artists you mention that were successful did so by moving to the States and signing with big American music labels.
