TBH , # 16 win in my heart .
If you’re not aware, Canadian money is… a controversial topic. First, there’s the fact that our bills are plastic, then there’s the debate over whether we even need cash in the first place, PLUS don’t get me started on the maple-scented"scratch-and-smell" rumour.
There are also several… questionable… politicians on our bills. (including but not limited toWilfrid Laurier.) And it’s not like we don’t have MANY deserving candidates who could take their place. So, oneReddit userasked, “If a new series of Canadian dollar banknotes is introduced with a strict no royal no politician rule,who should appearon each denomination?” and here’s what people said:
1.“Terry Fox should be on one of them! Maybe the $20?”
– uranium / cossackqueen

– u / GeneralOpen9649
2.“David Suzuki, a national icon for a long, long time.”
