I’m having a hard time choosing who to vote for in the contest of Greatest Canadians. I’ve split the top ten list into 3 groups: “contenders”, “almost contenders” and “no fucking way”.

Contenders: Frederick Banting, Tommy Douglas, Terry Fox, Lester B. Pearson and Pierre Elliott Trudeau
Almost contenders: Alexander Graham Bell, Sir John A. Macdonald, David Suzuki and Wayne Gretzky
No fucking way: Don Cherry.

Two things: 1) I’m having a very hard time picking between my top five; 2) Don Cherry…really? You guys? Seriously?
