They made a pretty good choice with Viola Desmond for the 10.

King Charles is the traditional pick, but considering how well the $10 note was received, you'd think they'd pick someone better than the current king of England

Also holds the title of King of Canada.

Along with a few other titles.

Not sure who is down voting you because you are right. Charles isn't on Canadian currency because he's the King of England. He's on Canadian currency because he's the King of Canada.

Edit: typo
