Don't thank ME for 'the Beebs'. I won't have it. I can see you guys are still blissfully unaware that due to military budget cuts, the Canadian Government had unleashed Beiber on the world.

He is only famous in North America. I think Jim Carrey is the most known Canadian.

Argentina: Maradona or maybe Messi

Australia's is probably someone most here will have never heard of. I would bet it's probably a guy named Ricky Ponting.
