In April 2009, Sorenson told the House of Commons that Nickelback, "the boys from Hanna, Alberta, constituents of mine, really rocked the place at this year's Juno Awards." He then told everyone "to get a copy of Nickelback's Dark Horse album, the best album in Canada in 2008."

2. Hedy Fry, Liberal MP for Vancouver Centre

In November 2004, she said "groups like Choclair, Nickelback, Blue Rodeo, and of course Sara McLachlan and Alanis Morissette" are known "as Canada's world international divas."

After Fry spoke, Hearn called on the government to give Nickelback more money. "Why has the minister not announced long-term sustainable funding for people like Nickelback, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan, and Blue Rodeo who received less than $500,000 over the years but have made over $2 billion in sales for this country?"

4. Terence Young, former Conservative MP for Oakville

In December 2011, he told the House of Commons that Nickelback is among "Canada's brilliant musicians."

He brought Nickelback up again in November 2013: "It is the largest selling Canadian band in the world. We tell the world who we are. They like it and they want to share in it."

5. Shelly Glover, former Conservative MP (and heritage minister) for Saint Boniface
