1. Just because YOU don't think they made a difference in Canada, doesn't mean they didn't make a difference.

2. You shouldn't have to make a positive difference in Canada to be honoured here.
Um, yes, you should. This is the capital of Canada. I don't see monuments and boulevards in Washington DC, Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna, Mexico City, Tokyo, etc. named after foreigners who made a difference in the world.

Sure, they should be honoured for their contributions, but where it makes sense.
