Kristin Kreuk
Evangeline Lilly
Cobie Smulders

Excellent choices.

I would add:

- Canadiens who play hockey for the Boston Bruins.

And as for the "Least favorite Canadians":

- Canadians who play hockey for the Vancouver Canucks/Montreal Canadiens
- Canadians who are fans of the Vancouver Canucks/Montreal Canadiens

:P

At the moment, my favorite Canadian is http://www.cbc.ca/vinylcafe/. He's such a fantastic storyteller, full of mirth and contemplation. Runners-up on the entertainment side are the members of Arcade Fire, New pormographers (minus American Neko Case, unfortunately) and Tragically Hip. And I've always had a fondness for Rachel McAdams (previously listed, but c'mon, she's hawt).

Your doing it right. :D

To the guy who said any Canadian playing for Boston and worst for Canadians playing for Vancouver...you have to understand us Canadians don't care about teams, we just love watching hockey. 70% of the Bruins are made up of Canadians, yet when I see Americans talking about Boston like it's America vs Canada, I just sit back and chuckle.

Jack Layton, I'm not one to normally care about politics. But all I can do is this. :nope: In 22 of my long (feeling) years of life, no poliician has seemed so genuine and friendly. Doesn't mean I would always trust him, but he had an enthusiasm that not many could replicate. *sigh* Now on to more usual generic meat grinder grunt politicians that we always seem to have an over supply of.

Edit
This is pretty neat too. http://www.webcitation.org/61ELNC9R5
