My thoughts on the Greatest Canadian

[jeffreyab]

Tommy Douglas was a good choice.

I think Sir William Osler for making modern medicine and

Sir Arthur Currie for helping end World War One early and put us at the table at Versailles.

Osler was not even nominated while Currie was 24.

I agree that Don Cherry and Wayne Gretsky probably should not have been there.

I agree that Tommy Douglas was a good choice, and certainly my top pick out of the top ten. It's kind of interesting that a politician that has been out of the limelight for thirty or forty years, and mentioned only sporadically in the media for at least the last three decades would walk away with it.

But of the 100 original nominees, is there anyone who better demonstrated modern Canadian values?

Not too out of the limelight thanks to grandson Kiefer Sutherland.
