Gosling, too. Jim Carrey repped us really well, more than most of them, though Mike Meyers is up there, also.
Oh man SCTV! Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Rick Moranis, just to add a few. Then there's the Kids In The Hall and The Trailer Park Boys.
Linus Sebastian
What about Anthony?
Thought she was from Sweden, also TIL Anthony Young is now Emily Young
Oh really? Did not know that.

From here, astronaut Chris Hatfield was top of mind. And Shania Twain a close second.
Anyone besides Jordan Peterson.
Terry Fox.
Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling.
I was going to go with Ryan Reynolds.
Yep.

Just getting into his collection. What a gem.
Jessica. Because we got it on on a blanket under a warm starry night at summer camp.
You wouldn’t know her, she’s from Vancouver, eh?
Got that maple syrup flavoured pussy.
Heh. I love the standard joke too. In my case I was an adult visiting the equivalent of a “dude ranch” during Stampede in Calgary. Maybe camp was the wrong term, as people probably envision Wet Hot American Summer style camp for kids.

Probably no one you know, but I visited a bakery in port hardy (Vancouver Island), and the gut behind the counter was super sweet and welcoming. While she was serving me she got called from her boss and she excused herself with tears in her eyes „sorry, I have to response immediately, she is gonna yell at me again“.
I still want to hug her. Still want to show her how a professional boss would treat her. Give her a nice job and get her out of this worker’s hellhole.
The breakfast was great, though.
Mike from Canmore.
Dave Foley.
I love all the Kids in the Hall members.
Joni.
There are many great Canadians. But I have to go with Bret Hart. He and his brother have been so influential to the wrestling scene. Without him, we would still only have big charismatic guys slapping each other. They brought something that wasn't seen in the mainstream before. From guys like Kurt Angle to Brian Danielson (also a great Canadian!) to Tag Teams like FTR and many, many more ... they have all been influenced by The Hitman and his technical skills.
