The comedians and actors I recognize in that picture are Colin Mochrie, Red Green, Leslie Nielsen, Jim Carrey, Dan Akroyd, Mike Myers, William Shatner, Kiefer Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, Pamela Anderson. Not sure about the guy in the scarf/hat or the other blonde girl.
The other two musicians are Gord Downie (The Tragically Hip) and Geddy Lee (Rush). I shouldn't have to say it, but since this is a predominantly American board, I'll point out that the guy under the Stanley Cup is Wayne Gretzky. The comic book character is Wolverine.

The foods: the donuts and coffee are from Tim Horton's. The fries with cheese curds and gravy is called poutine (it's a Quebec thing). The brown and white chocolate cameo is Laura Secord. Kraft Dinner is a fast mac&cheese product. The bacon rounds are Canadian bacon...otherwise known as back bacon. I'm guessing the pancakes are there to showcase maple syrup.
The jet is an Avro Arrow. The pile of stones meant to look like a person is called an Inukshuk (Inuits used to use these them as landmarks). The building with the clock tower is our main Parliament building (US equivalent would be the Capitol). The ghosted-out blue circle-like logo is the logo of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, our fed-funded national TV network. The tall spire-like building is the CN Tower in Toronto. I'm hoping you all know what a totem pole is, and can recognize Niagara Falls, the moose, our flag, beer kegs, the Canadarm, the one dollar 'Loonie' coin, the hockey jerseys from our NHL teams, and the curling stone.
