Here's a salute to our northern neighbors...
My favorite Canadians:
10) Barenaked Ladies, Sarah MacLachlin, Alanis Morissette, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen (sorry, had to compile the singers)
9) Keanu Reeves (but only in The Matrix)
8) Matthew Perry
7) Phil Hartman (Simpsons has never been the same without him)
6) Scott Adams and Chris Haney (inventors of Trivial Pursuit)
5) IMAX Corporation
4) James Cameron (Aliens is still one of the best movies of all time)
3) Wayne Gretzky
2) Alex Trebek
1) William Shatner (Star Trek! Priceline commercials! Pulp covers! Is there anything this man can't do?!)

Notable mentions: Marshall MacLuhen (Chrissa hates that guy), Mike Meyers, Lorne Michaels, Michael J. Fox, Dan Akroyd, Margaret Atwood, Celine Dion, Bobby Orr, James Gosling (who authored Java, apparently), and Avril Lavigne...among others.
Oh yeah, plus the inventor of basketball (James Naismith) and Steve Nash: our favorite basketball player with a mullet!
I was actually surprised how many famous Canadians there were. If I missed any, let me know.
Ryan North would, indeed, top my list. I can't believe I forgot him! For anyone "out of the know"...Ryan North is the creator of Qwantz...displayed on my Links. He's a freakin' genius.
