The CBC is in the midst of choosing "The Greatest Canadian". I love Don Cherry (ex-Bruins coach), but my God, he cannot be one of your top 10.

Other notables not in the Top Ten:

14. Neil Young
18. Shania Twain
19. Bobby Orr (How quickly they forget)
27. Celine Dion (Keep in mind, this is greatest ever, as you read this list.)
29. Jim Carrey
32. Michael J. Fox
33. Gordon Lightfoot (Hell, he can't die now.)
38. Mario Lemieux
39. Bret "The Hitman" Hart (Please slap the sharpshooter on #27?)
40. Avril Lavigne (Avril Lavigne, the 40th greatest Canadian!!!!)
41. John Candy
