If you click on one of the side links there is a list of 100 greatest Canadians.

I notice two names off the aforementioned lists, that is the silent film star Mary Pickford, an original owner of United Artists and Norman Jewison, film director of many famous films like " Guess who's Coming to Dinner"., Also, the great song writer and conductor David Foster, discoverer of Josh Groban and Michael Buble as examples.

Russell V

Another to add to the list is Evangeline Lily from the cast of Lost.
