Famous Canucks

I've been getting tired and frustrated with other countries claiming one of our own as one of their own.  The biggest controversial Canadian in this humongous list I have compiled would be Alexander Graham Bell.  Yes, he was born in Scotland and is therefore technically Scottish.  Yes, he got US citizenship (so he could work in the USA), so technically - very technically - he has some claim to America.  However...the great Mr. Bell lived in Canada for 2/3 of his entire life and his descendants still live on the family estate in Nova Scotia.

Oh, and where DID he HIMSELF say where the telephone was invented?  Canada.  Enough said.

Oh yeah, we're claiming Ronnie Hawkins too.  He was born American, calls Canada his home.

Edison DID NOT invent the light bulb.  Two Canadians did.  Read on people.
