We Canadians frequently define ourselves by the ways we are not American.  Let's see - they had slavery and a civil war to end it, the KKK, lynchings, Jim Crow laws and a turbulent 13 year civil rights movement. We had the underground railroad which I would have thought was cause for celebration.  But no – this is Canada eh!  Seems we once had a lady who spent a night in a Halifax jail. 
They should forget about putting faces on our bills – and just print the word SORRY.
