One person in Fredericton commented: “The person on it appears to be of Asian descent which doesn’t rep(resent) Canada. It is fairly ugly.”

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 York’s 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.

How could any Canadian have anything against the Vimy Memorial? Vimy Ridge made Canada.
