Herbert Marshall McLuhan, FTW! He was clearly ahead of his time in Media Studies and Communication.

Yes, Gloria! Bringing out the big guns Communication Studies styles!
Pierre Trudeau is pretty inspiring. He was so charismatic and always stuck to his passions and opinions. I think he was a very strong Canadian and I have high hopes for Justin to follow in the same way.
Honestly though, I think Sir Frederick Banting is a very great Canadian. He used unconventional experiments to discover insulin and help countless diabetics around the world. He also received a military cross for courage under fire (he was part of the Med Crops during WWI), which is also great. And hey, he studied medicine at U of T, and taught part time at Western. Cool.
