Celine Will Be Pissed! Michael J. Fox Named Most Influential Canadian Expatriate!
Actor Michael J. Fox was bestowed the honor of being the Most Influential Canadian Expatriate by the Canadian Expatriate Association. Fox has used his fame to promote awareness of Parkinson's disease which he has been battling since being diagnosed in 1991.
He beat out other famous Canadians such as hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, musician Neil Young and the "greatest singer in the world" Celine Dion!
The association selected Michael because of:
"the bravery of his personal fight against Parkinson's disease and the scope and effectiveness of his global campaign to someday find a cure for the debilitating and deadly disease while supporting those around the world who share the affliction."
Congratulations!

Has The Spider-Man Musical Found A Savior?
Dam right he is, GO MIKE!
I would have thought Corey Hart for sure. After all he wears his sunglasses at night.
On a related note, Mario Lavenderass named America's biggest douche.
Perfect choice. Hollywood trash like you could learn a lot from him.
Re: Zombie Hitler – ♥… only one other person ever gets one of these ♥ … thanks hun !
"Greatest singer in the world" Celine Dion!…Oh puhleeeeaze spare me. THat woman absolutely annoys the hell out of me to no end. Her songs are absolute garbage and her whole act is singing like Barbara Streisand but with 1000 times the ego.
Nice message Zombie. We're proud of this country.
Canadians think they are above Americans.
Oh wait, they are, at least geographically.
It could only have been Michael J. Fox or Joni Mitchell.
Does anyone remember Michael J. Fox ever being a celebrity douche bag? I don't. He deserves an award. And thank you, Canada!
…and, Canadiana…I agree with Zombie******, too. May your enemies be our enemies.
The true North has given us all a lot to be thankful for—Michael Fox is just one thing and very deserving of praise. Stay strong Mike!
TeenWolf dude is O.K. but two years ago my son and I got to meet Gordie Howe at a Wings game.THAT is the greatest Canadian EVER!God Bless you Canada!
Re: Pear Ass Hilton – Did he recieve a gold plated turd as an award!
Good for Michael! I love Michael and Celine. But Celine has had so many awards, I'm sure she doesn't mind one bit.
And to Naomid, you are wrong. Celine is soooo down to earth! I met her 3 times and she has no attitude whatsoever. Of course, when she sings she has to focus and be serious because her songs are very difficult to sing.
Celine IS the best singer in the world!! And at least she can sing for real unlike BritBrit and Madonna….
Yay!! Congrats Michael J. Fox!! He totally deserves this award. He has done so much for stem cell research.
Celine is more like the embarrassment of Canada.
Celine Dion, the greatest singer? OMG, who are you quoting there? Outside of middle aged fat women in Quebec, nobody in Canada likes her…she's a joke to the rest of the country.
You can have her! ick!
i love cannnnadddaa its way better than the US. we don't have as many influential people in the music and film industry but we are just as important. don't forget about us!
great choice. love this man to death, so dedicated and talented. so happy he won.
congrats! he definitely deserves this title. he is an amazing man
LOVE Micheal J!!!
true canadians are proud of all their artists, and it includes celine dion. even if i'm not a big fan of her music; i've seen her in concert and was always impressed! i can see why she is often referred as the best.
no one beats michael j fox tho! i would have thought Jim Carrey in that top list too wouldn't hurt
Oh we have great weed and the beer rocks.Good job on helping Parkinsons dude
why would she be pissed? He's brought greater attention to Parkinson's than anyone before. She would prob just cut him a check for a cool $1 mil
Michael J. Fox is amazing and trully deserve the tittle
people like that make me proud to be canadian
Congratulations, Michael. Keep up all the good work you do for Parkinson's.
Love Michael J. Fox!
Re: kcp1967 – i'd rather admit to having celine dion than nickleback ….
thank you for your kind words, zombie hitler
great to hear that michael got the award. we appreciate what he's doing to promote parkinsons awareness. my husband has that god damn disease…..
slim pickings Canada
That's weird ’cause most canadians forgot he's canadian. I wouldn't vote for Celine though, there's a lot of other great canadian candidates that would do just fine.
Re: ERRRBOOO – Slim Pickings?!?!?!
Whoa you have to remember that about a 3rd of the entertainment industry in the US is from Canada!
I love Michael J Fox! most of the comments above are positive, which is a rare thing on this site, its nice to know marty mcfly brings out the best in people!
Hurray for you Michael. You have done wonders as an advocate for Parkinsons Awareness - truly well deserved!!!!
A Canadian is walking down the street with a case of beer under
his arm.
His American friend stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whatcha get
the case of beer for?"
"I got it for my wife, eh." answers Bob.
"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade."
Congrats to Fox who proves that it's not what happens to you, but what you do with it.
Michael j. Fox is an inspiration
Sorry Celine. No one likes you! Go MJF. LOVE YOU! You deserve it!
