So, a ship named after a Norwegian explorer, an arctic icebreaker which we don't have many of.. and replaced were women's rights and the UN declaration of human rights which are historical in Canada's history

I guess the Conservatives are going to scare off the Russians by putting the arctic on our 50 dollar bill!

Gone from the new bill are images of human-rights causes, like the women’s liberation movement and the UN Declaration on Human Rights. Added is an image of an Arctic icebreaker, the Canadian Coast Guard research ship Amundsen.

Yeah that almost makes up for this.

If they were half as concerned about actually governing the country as they were about their propaganda campaigns, they might actually be a passable government.

That's why this is one big joke! What kind of message is this sending to Putin?! Changing the 50 dollar bill before its been out for a year and replacing the images with those of the Arctic..and yet stop funding an Arctic research centre which was incredibly cheap to operate... domestic policy fail

Did you read the article? Pearl is definitely NOT a northerner, is not suited to be north of Point Pele and should spend some time by herself in the hopes that someone will build a Purl 2, a station that will let the scientists do scientific things rather than having to plumb the depths of Pearl to knit a solid relationship to our severe Canadian winters. Purl on

Yaawwwwnnnn.

The design of the bills changes with every new series.

I think people are suspecting far more Cabinet input in the design process than there actually is. Was Mulroney an ornothologist?

Yes they do change but the 50 dollar bill had not even been out for a year before they changed it
this was not a series change because the 100 dollar bill hasnt been changed and the 20, 10 & 5 arent even released yet
why just the 50?!

The last series (the Journey Series) was created in 2001. The $50 note came out in 2004.
