Trudeau and Pearson will be the top vote-getters, I think. Trudeau, because, as was mentioned, he's our parents prime minister, and he was the liberalist liberal, and because he's more myth than truth. Pearson is my vote. He was a true Canadian, a statesman, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, he was responsible for Peace Keeping whether you like it or not, it's Canada's legacy. What else did he do? Our flag, for one. He's done a lot.
I wouldn't vote for Cherry, and he probably doesn't fit on the list, but I do love him. He's got a lot of clout. He is a true Canadian in my mind.
Suzuki has nothing to do with Canada. He's a scientist. He has never, to my knowledge, expressed any nationalistic sentiment in his career.
Any notable omissions?
