The Sasquatch Known As "Big".

Global teams are often a good place to look for a Canadian character. Failing that, if a team features a Sasquatch on its roster, there's a very good chance that (s)he is from this fine, fine country.

The first two limited series, entitled First Blood and Second Chances, were published by Dark Horse between 2005 and 2007, I believe. Subsequent books have been published by Image Comics. The team is still quite active, having recently concluded a Kickstarter campaign successfully.
