Who is Canada's most famous writer?

This question arose this morning with friend Open(s) Book(s) as I was telling her that I'm reading Robertson Davies, whom I described as the clear leader in Canadian literature. (He's shown here, looking, as always, like God.)

Of course, in my proud tradition of sounding more confident than I am, I decided to research Davies' real standing. O.B. countered with Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro, and I admit they probably have better name recognition internationally than Davies.

But let's leave this up to Google, shall we?

If you Google "Most famous Canadian writer," you get such storied figures as:
• Stephen Leacock (?)
• Richard Scrimger (??)
• Lucy Maud Montgomery (Give you a hint..."___ of Green Gables")
• John Glassco (?!)
And yes, some sci-fi strumpet named
• Margaret Atwood

Obviously, Google is the wrong tool here, like using nunchucks on a zombie.

But enough poking eventually turned up a Wikipedia page about Canadian literature.

I would point out that Robertson Davies' picture is the first one you see, but in all honesty, I feel this paragraph sums it up best:

Arguably, the best-internationally-known living Canadian writer (especially after the recent passing of Canadian greats, Robertson Davies and Timothy Findley) is Margaret Atwood, a prolific novelist, poet, and literary critic. This group, along with Alice Munro, who has been called the best living writer of short stories in English,[2] were the first to elevate Canadian Literature to the world stage.

So there you go.

In case you're curious, the book I'm reading right now is The Rebel Angels, part of Davies' Cornish Trilogy. If you're thinking about picking him up for the first time, I would start with Fifth Business, his famous (in Canada) first installment in the Deptford Trilogy.
