The Bank of Canada wants to put a Canadian woman on our money; and it's giving the public until April 15th to nominate someone. Go here to have your say.
Well, it's about time. Don't get me wrong. I like the Queen. She's a nice lady ... been through a lot.
But she's not, you know, one of us.
So the question is who?
In our little corner of Canada, the 'who' is easy. There's Nellie McClung – one of the Famous Five women who argued that they were, counter to manly opinion at the time, "persons."

Dear Editor,
Many landowners are calling and e-mailing their local MPPs in fear that the trail on their land would turn into an easement because of rumours and speculation they have heard about Bill 100.

In this case, the owners of the Junior A hockey team that will make its home in Wiarton next year, decided to ask the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation whether they were OK with naming their team after an old and storied club, the Wiarton Redmen.

As the mayor of South Bruce Peninsula, Janice Jackson (who brokered the meeting) said, "We're in a time of...
