This week a fellow from Toronto posted the following on our petition page: "Just something to point out, the reason there isn't women on banknotes is because there hasn't been famous female Canadians to put on banknotes. Canada isn't going to put amazing athletes on banknotes. The only female that would get a face on the bill would be Laura Secord." But there is more to Canadian herstory that Laura Secord, and he should perhaps check out the books 100 Canadian Heroines and 100 More Canadian Heroines to learn about some of the many Canadian women who would be good candidates for our bank notes. http://heroines.ca/about/100canadianheroines.html
