"The Greatest Hamiltonian"

So there is the contest going on in our city to figure who is the Greatest Hamiltonian. And let met tell you, I was SO disapointed when I didn't see this guy on the list. But oh well, you win some you loose some!

So obviously this is a parralell to the television series CBC aired a few years ago (in which Tommy Douglas won), only this one is for the greatest person to hail for Hamilton (obviously).

Personally, I've narrowed down my "greatest Hamiltonian" to these three:
DANIEL LANOIS, because he worked with musical pioneers (ie. Bob Dylan, U2, Emmylou Harris, Ron Sexsmith). But then I found out he was actually born in Hull, Quebec, so that cancels him out for me.

RON JOYCE, because he helped in founding with one of Canada's proudest food chains of all time. But then I found out he sold it to an American Chain, so that's kind of unpatriotic.

Bottom line, I think I'm gonna vote fore GEORGE HAMILTON, because he was the originator of our city. He was the first. And since he was the first, he should rightly be the best! That's all there is to it!

(Honourable mentions go to Eugene Levy because I find him hilarious).

I mean like, so what, just cuz he was the first black MP, there are a lot of first black people who aren't recognized as the "greatest" something, and since when are lawyers respected? if they're not on a television show that is..
