Why are there no or few Canadian Heroes?

Reason 1

• Canada is too young-We've only been around for about 150 years.  Canada was delcared a dominion in 1867 and this only encompassed 4 provinces.  By this time symbols and heroes in places such as France were already doing their thing.  Look at their heroes http://www.conservapedia.com/Gallery_of_French_Heroes. All these pictures are black and white for goodness sakes.  Old heroes like Robespierre philosopher who was born in 1758 long before Canada was close to being created and was still mostly a vast expanse of land, nothing more.  Perhaps France's greatest hero Joan of Arc was born in 1412.  Canada has nothing of that sort of history.  Thus, Canada hasn't had enough time to manufacture its heroes.
