We have Sir John A. on our tenner. You can still smell the gin on his breath.
But we have no Canadian women. The British queen doesn't count.

We only have five denominations of bill left. One has the Queen and the other four are either important founding or wartime Prime Ministers. Which ones would you evict? Who would take their places and why?
Then, you should know Just Mary.
There you go, that's why we need Canadian women on our notes. No one gives a rat's pettoot about an icebreaker.

I'd like to see Marty Feldman on all of our currency but I think he's an anglander
Christopher Walken would be good too.

Well, the Queen's Angleeskaya. Marty could replace her. It would be refreshing to have a bill that looks at you regardless of how you hold it.
You make a good point which reminds me of Native American activists many years ago who demanded that Jackson be taken off the $20 because of his "trail of tears" campaign. These presidential "heroes" certainly had their faults and this was one big mistake that he made during his years in office.
Most Australian banknotes have a man on one side and a woman on the other. We should do that.
