Equality isn't loonie: Women are coming to Canadian currency

Prime Minister Trudeau announced that "an iconic Canadian woman" will soon be appearing on our currency, so the Because News panelists weighed in on who they'd choose for the honour.

Both Rebecca Northan and Jean Paul picked Buffy Saint-Marie, a legendary singer-songwriter and social activist who famously breast-fed on Sesame Street way back when breast-feeding on a children's show was taboo. Oh wait, it's still taboo…

Personally I'd like to see a young Margaret Trudeau. But only if they use a picture of Kim Cattrall like they did on 60 Minutes.- Gavin Crawford, on who he'd like to see on the new bill

There are currently five politicians on Canadian bills. So which one will have to leave the sausage party early?

Rebecca would bid farewell to William Lyon Mackenzie King, because he was reportedly a loner who hired psychics so he could talk with his dead mother. And not only that, think of all the time we'd save by not having to say his full name.

Jean Paul would boot Robert Borden off of the hundred, because "women are $100 bills" to him.

Eric Peterson favoured running the Queen off all of the bills and back to Britain completely, while Gavin suggested leaving Sir John A. MacDonald on the $10 bill, but adding hair to transform him into Margaret Atwood.
