	CBC.ca - The Greatest Canadian - Top 100 - 11 to 100
		A woman 'of slender frame and delicate appearance,’ she was 37 when she made the long trip on foot to warn the British of a planned American attack, thus earning her place in history as a heroine of the War of 1812.
		Known as one of the most reliable defencemen in the NHL for nearly 22 years, he was credited with bringing “honour” to hockey by refusing to fight on the ice, while others claim he invented the slap shot.
		Saskatchewan’s Sandra Schmirler won three Canadian and world titles, but with her Olympic gold medal at the 1998 Games in Nagano, she became "The Queen of Curling." Tragedy struck and the beloved Hall of Famer died of cancer at age 36.

		Dingwall, when questioned by a Parliamentary committee about why he thought he was entitled to severance pay for voluntarily resigning his position with the mint, simply said that he was entitled to it because he was entitled.
		Canadians are entitled to their entitlements because, like Dingwall, they deserve it.
		There is no greater symbol than the former head of the Royal Canadian Mint that exemplifies the sense that too many Canadians have that they are entitled to a certain lifestyle without having to earn it.

		That man is Thomas Clement Douglas, "Father of Canadian Medicare," the leader of the first socialist government elected in North America and founding leader of the socialist New Democratic Party.
		But the facts are the facts, and so far the Canadian left has been able to keep them away from the major media, which probably wouldn't run them anyway on the grounds that the legend has become unassailable.
		But the truth is that "the Greatest Canadian," up to his mid-30s, like many others of the Canadian and American left, was a passionate believer in eugenics.

		Each and every one of these has been a leading Canadian author at one point or another (Kogawa was one of the first to write about the Japanese internment; King brings the vitality of oral native narrative to literate form; Findlay is canon; Coupland defined a generation; Gibson spawned a revolution).
		While the whole exercise of the “greatest Canadian” can be fun and potentially educational, I think there is a big flaw in the whole process.
		I mean unless you can claim some “Buffy”-like Canadian somewhere through his or her actions alone saved life, the universe, and everything; it would seem the importance of each “important” Canadian’s contribution would depend on what is personally important to you.

	Event Planning: The Greatest Canadian.. Lester Pearson
		With CBC doing a top 100 list of great Canadians it is distressing to see who some of the votes are for in the top ten.
		It can only be a shortcoming of our educational system that some of the world's greatest people are not afforded the great stature they should command.
		In his spare time at home he gave us our great Canadian flag, the Canada Pension Plan and a Medicare system that was the envy of the world and the example Bill Clinton had hoped the US would emulate.
