In response to the first part of gnu's 13 Mar 07 - 05:32 PM post,

as a non-Canuck, let me say thank you to those posting information about Canadians such as Romeo Dallaire and Lester B Pearson.

I was read with great interest the linked page that Bruce provided about Romeo Dallaire.

And for other non-Canadians, here's a link to biographical information on Lester B Pearson and here's an excerpt from that wikipedia page:

"Lester Bowles Pearson, often referred to as "Mike", PC, OM, CC, OBE, MA, LL.D. (April 23, 1897 – December 27, 1972) was a Canadian statesman, diplomat and politician who was made a Nobel Laureate in 1957. He served as the fourteenth Prime Minister of Canada from April 22, 1963, to April 20, 1968, as the head of two back-to-back minority governments following elections in 1963 and 1965.

During his time as Prime Minister, Pearson's minority governments introduced universal health care, student loans, the Canada Pension Plan and Canada's flag. During his tenure, Prime Minister Pearson also convened the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. With these accomplishments, together with his groundbreaking work at the United Nations, and in international diplomacy, Pearson can safely be regarded as one of the most influential Canadians of the twentieth century"...

Btw, I also didn't know that "all aboriginal Canadians hold dual U.S. Canadian citizenship".

Thanks for posting this information and listing of these distinquished Canadians!

Best wishes from your neighbor,
