The show was just on tonight on CBC and the list isn't out on the net yet.

Apparently the top 10 that we have to vote for is the following:

John A MacDonald
Dr. Frederick Banting
Don Cherry
Lester B Pearson
Pierre Elliott Trudeau
Alexander Graham Bell
Tommy Douglas
Terry Fox
David Suzuki
Wayne Gretzky

Who are you going to vote for and why?

I'm for John A MacDonald simply because he created Canada. Canada may have existed before. But he tied all of Canada together, even when the french and english fought against each other all the time, he just forced them to work together toward the first step to unification of Upper and Lower Canada and eventually, creating a nation that runs from Atlantic and Pacific ocean. He pushed for a national railroad that ties Eastern Canada to Western Canada.

Edit: When I say Canada may have existed before, I meant as Upper/Lower East/West, the culture, etc etc, we just didn't need the british government to let us know that we're our own country at that time
