I remember when I used to watch PPG as a kid, my dad would absolutely go gaga over Bubbles. XD He has reacted similarly the last few times I've shown him Fluttershy. The funny thing is, the voice actor for Bubbles was actually Tara Strong, better known as the VA for Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy, on the other hand is voiced by Andrea Libman.
Also, for any of the Fire Emblem fans here, has anyone ever noticed how similar Fluttershy is to Florina from FE7? In terms of their personalities and speech mannerisms, the similarities are almost uncanny. As well, Florina is a pegasus knight, their hairstyles look somewhat similar, and their names both start with the first two letters. Coincidence? I think not. Whatever the case is, they are both two of my favorite fictional characters of all time. ^^
Yeah, Bubbles was always my favorite as a kid, too. Tara Strong also did the voice for Angel from
Lilo & Stitch: the series, which was another show I loved watching as a kid.
I've also actually met Andrea Libman at the
Nightmare Nights Dallas convention about a month ago, too. And she was
very nice... You can probably already tell that I just
adore Fluttershy from my avatar alone! XD
There's also
another animated character that Fluttershy kind of reminds me of, and you
may have actually heard of this show since you live in Canada:

Dawn is actually parody of Luna Lovegood off of
Harry Potter, but both her and Fluttershy still share some similarities and differences.
I can't really remember who my favorite PPG character was at the time, though I think Blossom stood out for me the most, as I remember being obsessed with the color red at the time. But anyway, PPG was a really cool show, and part of what convinced me to try MLP: FiM was the fact that Lauren Faust worked on both shows.
I'll admit, I'm actually kind of jealous that you got to meet Andrea Libman. xD Tara Strong may get all the attention, but Andrea is the one I really want to meet, as I am absolutely obsessed with Fluttershy. The fact that she likes beer and wings is pretty cool as well. ^^
I've heard of Total Drama Island, and I've watched a bits of it, though due to circumstances (namely not having a Teletoon subscription from late 2009-2012), I kind of missed out on it for the most part. Where's a good place for me to start?
