Hey, it's not like I'm not trying to get a job!
(Do you know anyone looking for a MEMS processing engineer???)
Strange that they use images of generic people instead of famous people.
Comprehensive list of famous Canadians:
Wayne Gretzky
Justin Bieber
Pamela Anderson
Jim Carrey
John Candy
Celine Dion (too Asian?)
Shania Twain
Clearly reparations are in order for the aggrieved group.
Precisely who that group is will be known once the supercomputer at the Toronto Institute of Advanced Sensitivity has run its victim determination algorithm to completion.
Huh? You’d have to live alone in a cabin with only a team of sled dogs for companions for a lot of years to think she looks Asian! Come into to town once in a while, Canada.
Astounding ignorance. Has this person forgotten that, only a decade ago, a woman of Chinese descent rep(resented) Canada as Governor-General?
The $50 and $20 banknotes feature a research icebreaker and the Canadian National Vimy Memorial respectively, with no images of ordinary Canadians. Some members of the focus groups said the Vimy memorial looked disturbingly like New Yorks twin towers, brought down by terrorists in 2001.
You know, it's sad that in my country, you need to be able to answer a "skill-testing question" in order to win a free donut, but there are no qualifications to be in a focus group.
I'm all for money with pictures of Pamela, Celine, and Shania on it.... The problem with the world is there not enough pretty women on currency.
That’s a very ugly looking note. Who is that man, he looks like he’s being torn out of the paper. Forget the scientist lady, he looks very creepy.
Is it really a stereotype if it's true?
Others feel that an Asian should not be the only ethnicity represented on the banknotes. Other ethnicities should also be shown.
So much for being color blind. This just shows the utter stupidity of political correctness and racial identity politics.
Can't have that. That would discriminate against ugly women. Put the currency through enough focus groups and the only acceptable person left to show on the currency would be Rosie O' Donnell.
You must be pretty young...or you travel in the wrong circles.Mike Myers and Dan Akroyd,two of the funniest guys to have ever lived;Joni Mitchell,a great,*great* songwriter (and,to some,permormer as well),Gordon Lightfoot,a great,great singer and songwriter.....
I think I've seen him in those Monty Python animations that Terry Gilliam did.
Sir Robert Borden, eighth Prime Minister (1911-20). You're right, that's a very poor depiction—the one on the front of the bill is better. He's been on our $100 forever.
That would be one awfully big bill.
Me neither. I guess ya gotta be Canadian, eh?
Hey! There is a guy with a moustach on that bill. Now THAT is offensive!
Thanks for filling me in.
I guess these are all anti-counterfitting measures.
My fave US bill is the $50 with Grant on it. I’ve just always liked those best. Grant looks good on money.
I think the Obama regime should have Julius and Ethel Rosenberg’s portrait on the $100 bill!
THE AMAZING PART OF THIS OBAMA TRAVESTY IS AMERICANS CONTINUE ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE RULED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN.
The original was probably a Meti or a Chippewa.
