From telephones to lightbulbs to paint rollers, Canada has a storied history in changing the world. Look a little closer at the country's contributions to pop culture and it's even more impressive: John Candy, the Littlest Hobo, Pamela Anderson, Porky's. One could go on.

- 100-card base set featuring Canadian athletes, actors, musicians, politicians and other pop culture icons.

- Memorabilia Cards (1:1) go beyond the more generic wardrobe cards found in similarly themed pop culture sets. Rather than using pieces of clothing, whenever possible, Canadiana is including special memorabilia pieces including game-used jerseys for athletes and screen-worn costumes for celebrities. Examples include an outfit worn by Pamela Anderson on "VIP" and a toque worn by Elvis Stojko during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies. Memorabilia card programs include Double Memorabilia, Mega Memorabilia, Authentic Patch and Tools of the Trade.
- Cut Signature Cards reach deep into Canada's history for a handful of the country's most notable figures. The checklist includes basketball inventor James Naismith, telephone creator Alexander Graham Bell, actress Mary Pickford and WWI flying ace Billy Bishop.
