If we're throwing Canada in, then Australia should be in too. Less of a world power but more of a regional power, from an area unrepresented so far.

Indeed. It'd be fun to play as Canada but I'd rather have Polynesia or Thailand or a fair number of other Civs instead. I'd really like to see the Iroquois or Haida represent Canada as they are the original inhabitants of the land.
Someone will make a good mod of Canada with John A. McDonald as the leader and with Mounties as our unique unit and that will be good enough for me.
Though I'll be happy to see Canada, Australia and New Zealand appear as mods soon after release.
Agreed, Iroquois instead of Canada, Polynesia instead of New Zealand, Majapahit instead of Australia.
My criteria were as follows:
1. Did the Civ in question make major contributions to human society (cultural, religious, architectural, military, etc.)?
2. Was the Civ in question independent for at least part of its history? Are they different enough from previously included Civs?
3. Can a definitive leader, city list and unique unit be chosen for the Civ?
4. As a tie-breaker to weed out possible candidates, I also made the following considerations: How famous is the Civ in the western world? Would western Civ-gamers want to play this civ? Is the civ from an as yet unrepresented region? What would it add to the game?
Here is my list, with a few comments. I consider it unfinished, as I remain unsatisfied with its content. What do you like or dislike about it? What would you change? Who else should be represented?
Ok lets see how Australia works out
1:Yep pass
And what contributions might those be? The only thing I know about Australian achievements is that they played a minor role in the World Wars. That's certainly not eneough to qualify them on that criteria. Canada doesn't cut it on that score either, even though we invented the telephone and discovered Insulin. Both countries are just minor players on the world scene and don't deserve special status as unique civilizations. They are nations, nothing more.
This took me several hours, so I hope you guys like it!
