What Does The “E” Stand for in EFS?

“Entrepreneurial”, as in “Entrepreneurial Federation of Saskatchewan”.
So far, so good.
Now, if you were looking to bring in a keynote speaker for your entrepreneurial federation’s AGM and business luncheon, whose names might pop into your head?
Actually, let’s narrow this down. Whose would be the last name to pop into your head?
Put your guess in the comments, before looking at the answer here. Your only hint – it’s a well-known Canadian.
Now, don’t go blabbing the answer in the comments. Gag, mock and constern all you wish, but no hints! I want to see if anyone guesses it.

  1. OK, clearly they’ve lost their minds. I’d bet money that nobody will get the name, despite being well-known.

  2. I guess that Indian chief who was always in the news in the 80s or 90s. Can’t remember his name. It wasn’t Ahenakew…screw it, I guess Ahenakew.

  3. The most anti-entrepreneurial person of Canadian fame : David Miller
    Socialist to the core.

  5. Now that I’ve looked it up I have to say he/she is an entrepreneur in the sense that he/she has maximised his/her assets (whatever they precisely are) to a considerable degree.

  6. Stephane Dion
    and… Oh good lord that’s even worse than I could have possibly imagined!

  7. …when I become emperor of the world, this list will be useful…
    quick! stand against that wall! No, I don’t care if you can’t see through the blindfold…
    lol.

    Naomi Klein – thanks dude – you made me throw up in my mouth a little bit 🙂

  9. Now that I’ve looked it up I have to say he/she is an entrepreneur in the sense that he/she has maximised his/her assets (whatever they precisely are) to a considerable degree.
    Then I have to guess Pam Anderson.

  10. It’s gotta be a pinko. Either Lorne Calvert or Roy Romanow. ‘scuse me, I have to gag…

  11. If one was familiar with the event beforehand, the name would have been less surprising:
    “Last year, we had Rick Mercer join us.”

  12. well that AGW scientist David Suzuki comes to mind but I’ll bet it’s some arrogant politician that represents the most vilified political part in the history of western Canada so I’m going with Ignatief

  13. Hard to believe….if this person tried to run a business he/she would starve to death!
    What were they thinking?

  14. That makes no sense whatsoever…what could he/she enlighten anyone with—-you would leave stupider than when you came…with no booze…

  15. My first guess would have been Jack Layton. The hint that tipped my guess was the comment that said we are talking about the next Governor General!

  16. I’m guessing Belinda Stronach, who has never done anything but ride on daddy’s coat-tails. She’s the anti-entrepeneur.

  17. Oops, wrong. But the real choice – Kate’s right, I would never have guessed in a year.
