As you may or may not know, there are no ACTUAL Canadians on Canadian money. this (http://www.petitiononline.com/ocoinada/petition.html) website has proposed a petition to get real Canadians on Canadian money. As many of us here ARE Canadians (I am not, but oh well). I think this petition is pretty nifty. I mean, this could turn into a full blown news story! I can see the headlines now! "Petition to get Canadians on Canadian money!". What do you think of this? Treason? A patriotic fight? Or a miserable attempt at Canadian independence?

Wilfrid Laurier is on currency and so is Robert Borden and William Lyon Mackenzie King.

There are tons of Canadians on Canadian money. The web-site is anti-royalist and would like Queen Elizebeth II taken off and replaced with a Canadian.

Boring.

WWJD
Amen.

I guess you are not Canadian or don't have any Canadian money?

Edit: Ahhh, Ritlina strikes again.

Check out the ways that the Queen can stay on our money:

This is from a web site from whence the petition derived.

Example;

How The Queen can stay on our coins:

The Nickel:
The Queen must successively beat all members of Nickelback in a sudden-death round robin tournament of rock-paper-scissors. If she wins, she can stay on the back of the nickel. If not, Chad Kroeger gets the nod.

Yeah, the establishment clearly quaking knowing the full might of the online petition, that long time revolutionary super-weapon, is coming to sweep them out of power if they don't listen to the people.

The majority of our currency has Canadians on it. Merely the coins and the $20 have the Queen.

*Shudders*
I would much prefer the Queen.

Pffft im surprised you people care to be honest. I live in England, where shockingly the queen is on all our money- and i don't care! FFs i wouldn't mind if they put Hitler on there as long as the money was worth something.

So what, like Keanu Reeves and hockey players?

Don't forget Cher!

Geddy Lee would be perfect on the Nickel.

...Or does Canada have nickels? The only Canadian money I've ever had was a 10 cent piece.

We have all the coins you have, plus a one dollar coin (Loonie) and a two dollar coin (Twonie). Just like you, we also have a 50 cent coin that nobody has ever seen.

Beleive it or not, we have a dollar coin.:eek:
Susan B. Anthony's on it. You can get them at the subway in New York, I hear (saw on the Simpsons).

Ok, that clears things up.

And on that note, I owned a lot of 50 cent pieces about thirteen years ago. :p

Now here is the far out part, Canadian coins are made of the same metal as the corresponding American coin and are roughly the same size.

Yeah, I noticed that your 10 cent piece is just a smidge smaller than our dime. The one I have looks nicer than any of our dimes, though.

That's true, except I guess for the Toonie. Why can't you come up with your own designs?

Because we claim that you stole them from us.

WTF are you talking about? The money I'm using is DEFINITELY Canadian. Why else does it have various past Canadian PM's and the queen on it? And we have a name for our currency, it's called the Canadian Dollar. Not very original, but we HAVE our own currency.

Wayne Gretzky, Don Cherry, Moxy Fruvous, Terry Fox, Lester Pearson, Rush, William Shatner, Maurice Richard, and John Candy should all be on our money somewhere.

Funny bit is, Canada could well be saddled with the Windsors well after they exit stage left in the UK.

Canada people should start building palaces and shit for them now. In preparation like.

They can live in the CN Tower. Or they can live aboard their boat if they dock it in Toronto Harbour.

Ha, their boat was confiscated. That'll learn them to get divorced and shit.

But if your happy to put them in the CN tower, by all means. I know tonnes of Brits who would be delighted with that arangement.

Meh. I really don't care whose head is on my bills and coins. I figure the queen will be replaced with the next king soon enough, anyway... seriously... she's old. I'd still rather have her face on the money than Charles. Seriously... that guy's kinda ugly. Put his kids on or something. :p

Each member of Rush deserves to have his mug on an individual piece of currency.

Let's hope Charles will abdicate and give William the throne. Then we'd have girls worshipping their coins. :p

Have you seen the Greatest Canadian Top 50?
We have fucking Shania Twain around like twelfth, we have a sad assortment of citizens worthy of being on the money. The only non-political figures that should be on coinage are Terry Fox and Billy Bishop.

In an interesting twist of economics, English and Canadian currency triples in value, destroying the economies of all other nations.

And they become the more valuable collectibles around, crashing the American economy.

:eek: THAT is how the world's going to end! :p

So that's the downside of Canadian girls then, ending the world with currency worship? On another note:

*Bonus* The Twenty dollar Bill:
The Queen must publicly acknowledge the fact that she is infact two-faced (beacuse of the watermark) She has to make a 16 verse sonnet that fully explains the magnitude of her two-facedness. The sonnet must be in French. And Russian.

I thought sonnets had fourteen lines...

Let's hope Charles will abdicate and give William the throne. Then we'd have girls worshipping their coins. :p

OMFG, I've just thought of the greatest joke ever. Now you canada people have repatriated your consitution, you all should pass an act of settlement, and make Harry the next heir to the Candian throne.

Shit, that would be funny beyond belief.

And they become the more valuable collectibles around, crashing the American economy.

:eek: THAT is how the world's going to end! :p

Glad we figured this out before it's too late...
Before it's too late to invest in the Canadian, economy, that is!
*puts $30000 in, and lets it ride*

I wouldn't be surprised if BC made him the unofficial mascot, since he parties so much. Imagine the publicity we would get for us to worship him! :eek: I can see the headlines now: "HARRY SNORTS...I MEAN SWEEPS CANADA!" :p

You are so strange.

Aye, we were aware of that.

Indeed. Thus, there is only one choice available to us.

We have to buy Canada, and sell it to Britain, so none of this ever comes to pass! Or, even better, just give William some plastic surgery, so he looks freakish.

There are no americans on mount rushmore either. :rolleyes:

Yes. And there would still be enough to whoop your asses in a 5 on 5. :D

We have fucking Shania Twain around like twelfth, we have a sad assortment of citizens worthy of being on the money. The only non-political figures that should be on coinage are Terry Fox and Billy Bishop.How about Tommy Douglas,Grandfather of Keifer Sutherland, Father of Medicare in Canada.

Well there is:
Bobby Or
Guy LaFleure
That douche Gretzky
Mario Lemeux
Mark Messier (as much as I hate to say it)
Patrick Roy
Joe Sackic in about a decade or so
etc.

See, there are more than enough.

How about Tommy Douglas,Grandfather of Keifer Sutherland, Father of Medicare in Canada.
But he is political. What about Alexander Bell? or Don Cherry?
