Unless of course, if Canada stopped sucking, then you would say "I have always known that Canada Sucked". But, since Canada shows no signs of giving up sucking, we should probably go with "I have always known Canada sucks."
I think the only time you could put the words "Canada" and "suck" together is if it were proceeded by a interrogative type clause in order to form a question such as "What does Canada suck?"

You must remember that UK English is different from US English. Apparently (and remember I'm A US English speaker so this is supposition from observation) in UK English collective entities are not singular but are plural. Therefore since Canada is a collective entity, in UK English "Canada Suck" is the proper subject verb agreement. We must remember that English is really theirs. We speak American.
Just the opinion of one colonial.
