Wayne Gretzky on the new $5 banknote?
I am sure that readers of the Friday, December 6 edition of the Globe and Mail did a double-take when they saw Wayne Gretzky, in colour, taking the place of Wilfrid Laurier on the $5 note. This illustration was certainly eye-catching, and designed to draw attention to an article about leading sports personalities in Canada. I case you did not see it, you will find it reproduced (in glorious black-and-white) elsewhere in this newsletter.
