WHAT A SHIT LIST!!!

ADAM YOSHIDA FUCKING BELONGS ON HERE MORE THAN A GOOD THIRD OF THESE PEOPLE, AND HE'S A FUCKING TRAITOR!!!!

(Oh...Needs Roy Romanow and Agnes Macphail too...And I hate Emily Murphy for being the biggest fucking drug war hawk in our country's history. It's because of this bitch that we joined the immoral War on Cannabis.)

YOu can't have a list of great Canadiens and not include Iverglas!

Apologies to the other DUers who are North of Minnesota - I don't recall who all else..

Oh! Hey Hey, too!

Damn right. DON CHERRY, and not moi??

Until now, I never associated the name Tim Horton with anything other than donuts.

I'll have to go with Bell as #1

ahead of ann murray? she was elvis`s favorite singer!!!

Yeah, let's picka guy who devoted his life to splitting the country up.
Why don't we put Paul Rose on there too. :eyes:

by ONE place, and after the likes of Shania Twain. :puke:

We're a nation of philistine clodhoppers!

:grr:

ON EDIT: Added the puke smiley... :mad:

They did place Margaret Atwood after Brian Mulroney...

:spank:

about popular culture that makes people think that fame is equals greatness? Calling Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, William Shatner and Pamela Anderson great just because they are pop icons is like calling Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and OJ Simpson great Americans. What have any of them done besides achieve celebrity? Physical beauty, a little bit of talent and a damned good publicist doesn't rate greatness status.

Such as Stompin' Tom Connors and Bret Hart (Yes, you heard correctly. Too bad he's arguing for Don Cherry has best Canadian.)

I guess not enough people know about him..

I doubt a list that doesn't even include Lesage, Macphail, or Adam Beck would include Mel Hurtig, Dalton Camp, James Laxer, Michael Douglas, and other Canadian intellectuals who blur the line behind Red Tories and NDP Wafflers.

(The biggest difference between Red Tories and Wafflers, aside from the former being quite loyal to the Crown, is that the former base their ideals on noblesse oblige while the latter base them more on leftist conviction, resulting in Red Tories taking a more 3rd way approach toward big business while Wafflers are more likely to support borderline-Marxism. I myself lie somewhere in between. It's still the same mix of social liberalism, Canadian nationalism, semi-isolationism, and Gaulliste dirigisme, although some Red Tories, particularly Orchardistas, are socially conservative.)
