We actually had a contest to decide who the greatest Canadian was. I don't remember voting in this poll. I agree with #1. I'd put Banting and Bell #2 and 3 though.

Has this been done in the states before? I'm curious.

Terry Fox was pretty rad.

Yes he was. ESPN did one of those 30 for 30 shows on him. Steve Nash, the basketball player, narrated the story. To run a marathon every day with 1.5 legs, that's incredible.

I actually get a feeling of patriotic pride when I read about what he's doing and how hard he fights for people.

He's my hero.
I'm beginning to think that too. He's sure done a lot more than just the Daily Show.

The work he's done for vets and first responders is inspiring.

I heard he had become an advocate for more funding to support vets and first responders. We need to do more to support our vets and first responders in Canada. Nurses, especially, are leaving the profession in droves. Towns are putting full page newspaper ads to get doctors to come to them.

What's really good about Stewart is that he is the one person that seems to be able to hold the Senate accountable. I bet he isn't on Mitch McConnell's Christmas list.

He knows how to give people sh*t, that's for sure.

I'm guessing most of the Senate doesn't like him. How dare he make them do their jobs!

It is nice to see someone, anyone, holding a politician to account. There is not nearly enough of that happening north of the border.
