Re: FAMOUS CANADIANS
John McCrae -- the dude who wrote, "In Flanders Fields."
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
I admit to cheating, insofar as I Googled the words of the poem.

Ah, finally! Rush rocks! My favourite band ever! But then, there's also Triumph.
Here are the other ones I know of:
Marshall McLuhan
David Suzuki
John Kenneth Galbraith
and Steven Pinker.

Glad I didn't mention Albert Ball. For some weird reason, I always think of him as Canadian.

"for some reason i want to say 'james taylor' - possibly because he's on Clear FM (Manitoban radio station) at the moment, or possibly because I sub-consciously know he's Canadian...?"
JT originates from Boston MA, moved to South Carolina when a young lad, resided in London (England) for a while and is now back in Massachusetts in the Berkshires - so no, not Canadian!

We were told, think of a famous American that you like, and they will turn out to be Canadian...
