They made a pretty good choice with Viola Desmond for the 10.

King Charles is the traditional pick, but considering how well the $10 note was received, you'd think they'd pick someone better than the current king of England

    They're going to put Terry Fox on the Five. I think will likely be better received.

    I suspect once people are used to that, they'll make another try at replacing MacDonald on the Ten. If people get up in arms over that, then they have to explain why they were fine with removing Laurier, but are upset over removing MacDonald.

    Still, it's the leader of our country.

    Head of State, not leader.
