UGLY!!!

[VegasCowboy]

People try awfully hard to be offended. This is crazy.

[muir_redwoods]

I’m not seeing it

[datura]

The woman should have been East Indian to appear on Canadian money.....

[Perdogg]

The sad thing about is it is worth $100.84 US

[Hardraade]

Obviously unacceptable. She doesn’t look Arabic at all.

[Little Ray]

Neither am I.
Did know Canada had bigots.

[cripplecreek]

Oh, Canada.

[Eccl 10:2]

Obviously unacceptable. She doesn’t look Arabic at all.

Put a woman in a burqa on the bill and it will be acceptable to all.

[Nea Wood]

Gosh! Isn’t diversity such a joy?

[Gay State Conservative]

Canada either did,or didn't,play a role in the development of insulin...a very important event.If they did and Canadians of Asian ancestry (there's got to be *some* there) were in on that research in any important way,why can't they be honored?

[Clock King]

Jealousy. Envy. They’re pissed because blacks and whites can’t do &&&& anymore.

[cardinal4]

Folks who pine and clamor for diversity should not be surprised when it happens..

[gnarledmaw]

That cant be the right image...not the one causing all of this. That woman doesnt appear even vaguely asian.

What do the Caucasian Bull Dykes Against Depicting Lesbian Bowl Cuts have to say about this?

This is alot of nonsense about nothing and speaks to the Founding Fathers fear of the whipsaw of public emotion.

It sounded from the article as though the original image was purged from the bill before they went into production. This is most likely the revised bill.

“Harrison declined to provide a copy of the original image, produced by a design team led by Jorge Peral of the Canadian Bank Note Co., which was a test design only and never made it into circulation.”

This also clearly illustrates how poor Canadian socialized healthcare is as there is obviously a severe shortage of ophthamology specialists.
