We just took a look at the new 5 dollar bill and my husband at forts didn't recognize Laurier.....he said he got a haircut.....and look closely and compare to the old 5...doesn't he now look a lot more like Harper? Something about the eyes.....not Laurier's eyes, and now he has a broader chin and forehead....look at real photos of Laurier.

I rather like the hockey, but the space arm has it's importance too, though it doesn't speak too much to the average Canadian. I have heard that if that fiver goes through the dryer, that it just melts into a plastic mass, and you are out the money as the banks won't exchange it for a good one. I haven't done it but the woman who was telling the story had the experience with the fifty.

As someone who attended Wilfrid Laurier University, I always liked that the namesake of my school was on the bill, so I had to make sure it was still him on the new bill. <br /><br />While I think the Canadarm is truly important and an iconic Canadian invention, I loved telling people in my travels, and sometimes showing them, that we have hockey on our money. I think hockey, and specifically that oh so iconic poem that I think all kids learn, would be much better suited on the back of the bill. But things change eh? We will get used to it.Dustin Hall Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515135591103727298noreply@blogger.com
