I just got a list of the 50 most trusted Canadians in the mail today. Mike Holmes is #2, Stephen Harper is #8 and Michael Ignatieff is # 42. Who do you think are the most trusted?
Most trusted Canadians
- Thread starter JLM
- Start date
Looks like - I'm not sure this list in carved in stone...........Conrad Black is tied for 49th.
Is it this list? Those You Know and Believe in | ReadersDigestCanada Seems similar to what your saying
It's quite nice that an environmental activist is at the top, followed by Canada's beloved Queen, and following that the former Defense Staff of Canada's glorious Armed Forces.

Bingo- I'm much more impressed with the #2 pick than I am with the first pick. In my mind Holmes is more of a doer.
Yeah, like i'm going to trust any politician after office of protocol at legislative sent me death threats and even got a call from an rcmp officer telling me he was on his way over to my house to shoot me. I had to call the police on the police and the government one day.
Why this thing uses 1250 kilowatt hours every year....
Yeah ... he knows
That's a lot of beer

Lol. But apparently they asked readers for their opinion and they voted on it, so they are pretty reasonable picks.
I find it interesting that an environmentalist is at the top. I don't like any particular one though.
As for the comment from that blog post on the second pick (The Queen), she's not even "the Queen of England", the last one died centuries back, the successor title to that is "Queen of the United Kingdom", and even that no longer applies in the Canada, where she is titled "Queen of Canada", and can be considered Canadian, as she is by law.
Looks like the blog poster likes the fact that environmentalists are on the list.
I think trusted means being trusted to do things right in their particular profession, but I have my doubts about some of the people on the list. And it's probably a general list of good Canadians as well.
The latest poll is slightly different, Lizzie now ranks 4th. Mike Holmes overtook her. I've been reading R.D. for fifty years- I'd say it's pretty reasonable, although possibly a little more orientated to amusement than facts.
R.D. May 2010
top 10 now Suzuki, Holmes, Michael J. Fox, Lizzy, Lloyd Robertson, Sheila Fraser, Stephen Lewis, Stephen Harper, Peter Mansbridge, Rick Hillier.
While taking the morning walk I got to mulling this subject over and have come to the conclusion that the list is somewhat flawed. Trevor Linden doesn't appear on the list while Conrad Black does. Any ideas on how that can be? (I got suspicious when my name didn't appear, but when I didn't see Trevor's that clinched it LOL )
