Janette Bertrand - never heard of her, had to Google. Hardly "famous to the world / nationally".
On the world stage I'd go with Trudeau, Mulroney, Conrad Black, Christopher Plummer, William Shatner, and in certain circles Joe Weider, the Bronfmans, Mordecai Richler and Henry Morgentaler (my family doctor back in the '60s!).
Unless it's a sports star or singer I doubt any others have name recognition outside Canada.

People should remember that there are many "worlds", not just one.
As for the names cited above, there are probably a lot of Montrealers who do not know quite a few of these names.
