Thanks JBNs,
I have seen the shortlist for candidates for the new five dollar note and to be honest, I'm not impressed with the process for submissions, or the resulting short list.
I'm getting tired of the cancel culture of our historical figures, and can understand if the MOF isn't himself impressed with the short list. Terry Fox has been done and the rest, while they have earned a spotlight on what they have done for the country, don't 'rise' to the significance of warranting being depicted on our national currency. Sorry that's my opinion.
Personally I like Laurier, and think they should keep him, but putting Charles on a banknote would also be protocol at this point since he is the new reigning monarch and his predecessor is staying on the $20. Elizabeth had not died when the planning of the new $5 note was first started and I think putting Charles on the five would be appropriate, and would understand the MOF's decision if he did this instead of the options he has been provided.
Cheers,
Breanna
