There’s a simple solution: Put Spock on the bill instead. 
This article is a good example of why I don’t trust the news. They can’t even get Spock’s rank right. Lieutenant, indeed! :mad:
But Leonard Nimoy wasn’t Canadian. They’d have to put William Shatner on the bills.
Or James Doohan who was also Canadian 
I thought Canada switched to plastic bills?
Doesn’t ink rub off?
His rank is lieutenant on Star Trek: Discovery, which takes place ten years before TOS. You might want to keep up.
I’m betting on a Streisand-like effect where people who never heard of it before start Spocking the bill in greater numbers than those who are dissuaded.
This is just hilarious.
Snape’s another one.
God, they really freak out over that in Canada? I see scribbling on U.S. money all the freaking time?
The OP’s article is from 2013
Those Canadian winter nights are long …so very long.
OK, the date on the article is July 5, 2019, so it must be a reprint. But the comments only date to 2015.
Huffington Post Canada is the source of the original article.
Here’s a song for you.
Yes, we have new polymer bills now and don’t Spock them anymore; it was fun for a few years though.
Canadians used pens, Americans just use a rubber stamp.
Sadly, I lost interest in Discovery about two-thirds of the way through the first season.
Spock was a lieutenant in “The Cage” as well, BTW.
Here’s hoping that the two excellent new verbs “Spocking” and “Snapeing” will still be preserved even if the practices that gave rise to them become extinct.
In similar news, I know some rubber-stamp carvers who are facilitating the “Tubmaning” of the US Andrew Jackson $20 bill, in protest of the current Administration’s delay of its official redesign. (The 3D-print stampmakers mentioned in the link aren’t the ones I know; there’s a bit of a mini-movement for “Tubmaning” in the stamping community.)
And for those of us south of the border: “I’m Old Gregg!”
Even in the original continuity, he must have been a lieutenant at one point in his career, right?
