Motley Crue (from their prime) just to see how it would look.

Terry Fox for Canadian heroes but I'm hard pressed to come up with three others who could share the space with him.

There was once a debate whether Pandas are really bears - some argued they are more closely related to raccoons. I think the consensus now is they are bears. Koalas are not bears.

Kind of sad that you can't think of great Canadians for such an honor. I think it's great we have a huge mountain chain to work with. Come on, take your picks and get carving!

Medical - Frederick Banting, Charles Best, Norman Bethune, John McCrae, Henry Morgantaler, Jean Vanier

Thinkers and explorers - Marshall McLuhan, Sandford Fleming, David Thompson, David Suzuki

Politics - Tommy Douglas, John A. MacDonald, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Elija Harper, Wilfed Laurier

Music (pick four) - Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray, Celine Dion, Gordon Lightfoot, Burton Cummings, Randy Bachmann, Glen Gould, Shania Twain, Sarah McLaughlin, could go on and on...

Comedy (need a range as they all deserve a chunk of the rock) - Rich Little, Martin Short, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, Howie Mandel, Seth Rogan, could go on and on...

Thespians (next mountain range) - Mary Pickford, Donald Sutherland, Kiefer Sutherland, Leslie Nielson, Lorne Greene, Christopher Plumber, Michael J. Fox, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gossling, Margot Kidder, Carrie Anne Moss, The Shat, James Doohan, Chief Dan George, Graham Greene, Raymond Burr, Nathan Fillion, Eric McCormack, Bruce Greenwood, Michael Ironside, could go on and on...

Art and Literature - Emily Carr, Pierre Burton, Margaret Attwood, Farley Mowat, Mordecai Richler, Lucy Maude Montgomery

Just being Canadian - Terry Fox, Mr. Dressup, James Naismith, Billy Bishop
