What does Canada remind you of? Ice hockey, fishing, artist Maxine Noel, novelist L.M. Montgomery, authors Margaret Duley, novelist Mordecai Richler or poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen, singing icons Bryan Adams, Celine Dion and K.D Lang or film personalities Michael J. Fox, and Dan Ackroyd. Your memory need not be in that same order, but you probably know that they are amongst the many famous Canadians who the world knows.
