OK guys, those of us Canucks know about the greatest canadian tv show thats on, but there's been a large uproar about the fact females and minorities have been left off the list.

So your goal is to come up with at least 3 of each (minorities, and females)

Go! get to it!

That woman from the Heritage Minutes who says "But I was not a person!" Emily Murphy.

Oh, and we can't forget the woman from the Heritage Minutes who became a doctor and ripped the fake leaf off the naked sketch of a man, Jennie Trout.

And Laura Secord, because I saw her in a Heritage Minute. Plus she makes good chocolate.

What about minorities eh?

Well, there's Maurice Ruddick. He's an Afro-Canadian collier who, along with his fellow workers, survived eight days trapped underground during the 1958 Springhill, Nova Scotia mining disaster. Later, he had a Heritage Mintue.

so basically it's all about the heritage minutes eh?

Oh, and Sitting Bull, the great Sioux Chief, who was confident that the North-West Mounted Police would respect him and his people and chose to remain in Western Canada rather than return to the United States.

Again, Heritage Minute.

Yes, yes it is. Because that's where I (and many other Canadians) have recieved any and all knowledge of Canadian history.

Apparently they're actually called "Historica Minutes", but I seem to remember the word "Heritage" from when they were shown on TV...

What about the guy on old the heritage minute commercials who was smuggled into from the USA because he was a slave... and he yells "LYSA!" when he gets out of the wagon... Oh yeah... He's american.

dr. pinfield, i can smell burnt toast.

YESSS!!!

Seriously, what about Louis Riel? Doth thou forget about his struggle for the Metis, the people of Manitoba and the Northwest?


Wait a minute! He didn't look like that in the movie! Those Heritage Minutes lie.

I don't know history.

Wait. What about our friend David Suzuki?

he was included in the list. wasn't he?

What aboot Joanne McCloud?

Suzuki is the only minority high up on the list.


and hush, you little american.

you obviously don't understand the deep, complicated history of our great nation. (aka, watch some heritage minutes and get back to us)

AHHH, I JUST REMEMBERED WHO JOANNE MCLEOD IS.


body break scares me for some reason.

I don't watch Canadian TV

Come to think of it... that slave guy didn't do anything, but ride in the wagon under the seat....

Yannic!!! Don't dis my woman!!!!

Was Tommy Prince on the list? He was a Native soldier.

probably wasn't. was louis riel even on it? it seems anyone of aboriginal decent wasn't on the list.
