Oh wow lots of great suggestions here but I can't believe nobody (especially Canadians) haven't mentioned Bruce Cockburn.
With a career spanning back to the late 60s and songs like If I had a Rocket Launcher, Call it Democracy, If a Tree Falls(1989's unofficial Save-the-Amazon anthem) and 1999's Last Night Of The World, I think Bruce is one of Canada's premier folk singers.
A great 80s protest song is Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil. I'm not keen on too many of their more recent releases but in the 1980s they ruled the rock and roll political landscape.
Check out this album cover(man would I like to have this on vinyl) from the album "Red sails in the Sunset"
