The 10 dollar bill mentioned in the article that currently has Viola Desmond on it previously had 4 people:
John A. Macdonald, the first PM,
George-Étienne Cartier, the "father of confederation"
Agnes Macphail, the first FEMALE member of parliment
James Gladstone, the first treaty first-nation (status Indian) Senator
So they chose the bill WITH a woman on it (that's not the queen) to replace with a woman. Just had to get rid of Macdonald that badly. This was before they were publicly and officially cancelling him elsewhere.
They also use a vertical orientation that no currency in the world uses. It's hideous.
That one with 4 people was only around for a couple of years, after Trudeau took power and before they decided on Viola Dssmond. Before that, it was always John A Macdonald on the 10:
Our first Prime Minister, who served for 19 years, who negotiated Canadian sovereignty, helped to get Quebec on board, gave aboriginal people the right to vote and held the country together through two rebellions and repeated threats of annexation by the United States. That's the guy they decided to replace on our currency with a civil rights activist whose only claim to fame is that she swapped the bus for the theater. If he were alive now, he'd probably regret not letting us get annexed.
