Canadian Newsmaker of the Year (Time)

The Canadian Newsmaker of the Year is a designation awarded by the Canadian edition of "Time" magazine. It comes with a written piece reflecting the magazine's staff's opinion on which Canadian or Canadians have had the most impact on the news, either positively or negatively.Citation

"Time"'s practice of selecting a Canadian Newsmaker of the Year began in 1995. Columnist Robert Fulford has speculated that the point was to try "gesturing politely to Canadian readers".Citation

For example, the "Montreal Gazette" said of the project in general that it was initially "dull" in favouring seemingly conventional men, but that 2003 provided a refreshing selection of two homosexual men and commentary on liberalism in Canada. The "Gazette" took this as recognition from a US magazine that Canadians are distinct from Americans. [Citation
