For me it’s Corner Gas. I still think it’s pretty funny and there’s a decent amount of references to Canadian stuff but not enough to be off-putting. I feel like an American wouldn’t be confused watching it even if some of the references get a bit dated overtime.
I have only seen a bit of the animated version in waiting rooms.

Trailer Park Boys
The Red Green show. Used to watch it on PBS with my dad when I was a kid.

Trailer park boys. I think it’s the only Canadian show that has really exploded outside of Canada all the way to Europe. It’s also so revolutionary. I always hear about how original the UK office was with their mockumentary style, yet trailer park boys did it first.
Anyways, I would rather shove hot needles up my urethra then watch a full episode of corner gas.

You’re saying you’ve never tried thermalgesiaphilic sounding?
As an Aussie of a certain age: Degrassi
As a USA person: Degrassi, when Drake was in a wheelchair.
Not a show, but the first thing that came to mind when I read the question is that Canadian ad… the Log Driver’s Waltz.
I just started rewatching This Is Wonderland on Tubi.
Other than that, mostly ones that have already been mentioned plenty, but I’ll call out Due South and Murdoch Mysteries as big ones.
Barely Cooking
Wayne & Schuster.
They were fun!
The Galloping Gourmet!
( reading this page is hilarious, btw… : )
Another vote for Kids in the Hall, the sharpest humour I recall from all of TV-era…
National Film Board stuff, that is one of the deepest treasure-wells we’ve got, in Canada…

The Beachcombers was big in the 70s.

Kids in the Hall 100%, I know it was popular stateside and if corner gas has dated references, it absolutely does, but it’s an absolute classic and some of the recurring bits still pop into my head from time to time.
