James Gosling, Robert Pike and Geoffrey Hinton are my top 3 "Canadians who meaningfully changed things in technology" (tho, I should probably make it a top 5, add Brian Kernighan and figure out someone else)

Kenneth Iverson (APL) could be your fifth even if none of us use APL, its reputation and influence is probably deeper than we realize

If Robert Pike is on your list, maybe Graydon Hoare should be 5th place!
