There are three great founder-figures of English Canadian literature and the English-Canadian literary imagination, all of whom should feature on our banknotes. But, if the current cultural or political elite got to choose, I feel sure none of them would be.
They are:
Lucy Maude Montgomery
Stephen Leacock
Robert W. Service
Everything else ever written in English Canada since has been based on one or all of these.
I hope to God they are at least still taught in the schools.
