I figured this might be a fun and interesting thread to post up some Canadian talent in all aspects of life. So list up who you think is Canada's best for whatever industry/job. I'll start. Of course, these are just personal opinions.

* Canada's best golfer of all time - Mike Weir
* Canada's best hockey player of all time - Wayne Gretzky
* Canada's best guitarist - Jesse Cook
* Canada's best funny guy(s) - Jim Carey/John Candy/Howie Mandell/Leslie Neilsen
* Canada's hottest woman - Evangaline Lilly/Estella Warren/Emmanuelle Chriqui (sorry, couldn't decide)
* Canada's best stereotype - A peaceful, friendly nation
* Canada's best made beverage - Beer

I did consider Lifeson and Cuthbert (disqualified for dating Sean Avery AND Dion Phaneuf...What the Puck-Bunny?). I also like Blue Rodeo a lot.

 

The telephone would also rank up there as Canada's best invention.

Sure but did the Robertson result in telemarketers, NO!!

 

LMAO, great point Wayne! In that case, Robertson screwdriver FTW!!

For the younger generation, I am sure the Blackberry is probably viewed as Canada's best invention. lol
