Canada recently had a poll to determine who will be on the five dollar bill.

The two front runners are Terry Fox and Francis Pegahmagabow.
I think most people have heard of Fox and most people have not heard of Pegahmagabow.
For people who don't know, Terry Fox lost a leg to cancer and then set out to run across the country on one leg. He ran the equivalent of a marathon every day until the cancer spread to his lungs and he died.
Pegahmagabow was the most successful sniper in WW1. He served for the entire war and killed 368 Germans and captured over 300 more.
Now I'm a bit of history buff, so I know him, but I guarantee that most Canadians have never heard of him. We tend to not glorify military achievements as much as other countries.
I think that his story is one that should be made into a movie, but I'm less sure that he should be the face of our money.
