Mick Jagged is probably more recognised overall due to being know with the younger crowd. Partly thanks to that Maroon 5 Moves Like Jagged song.

Well, I'm old enough to have bought their records in the 80's...and have still never heard of either of those gentlemen.
I'm quite confident that if you asked 100 random Canadians who Rick Emmett and Dave Dunlop are, 99 would give you the ten thousand yard stare.
To me, a celebrity is defined as someone whose name or likeness is known by the majority of the populace.

Wait, I'm so confused. Is this Canadian Celebrity Sightings thread supposed to track sightings of celebrities who are Canadian? Or sightings in Canada of celebrities? Or sightings of celebrities on Air Canada? Or just sightings of Canadian celebrities on Air Canada in Canada?
Given the permutations involved, might it be easier if we listed who we didn't see?

Why the confusion? For the umpteenth time as was last pointed out in post 2071 on the previous page this thread is for noting Canadian celebrities either flying on AC or seen in an MLL, not just Canadians who are celebrities spotted anywhere or celebs spotted in YYZ at the AA lounge, for example.
There have been a few occasions over the years when a super famous non-Canadian such as Paul McCartney is spotted travelling AC and then it's mentioned in these pages but except for those rare case it's famous Canadians travelling on AC or spotted in an MLL.
Also the term "celebrity" will vary from person-to-person so any attempt to limit what's subjective isn't likely to work.

There are also other posts where there are super famous non-Canadians spotted not flying AC.

Might be best to start a wiki outlining the updated rule with examples? Most people will just jump to this thread to post a "celebrity" sighting and might not be aware of the refined definition (which makes sense).

Creating a wiki is a great ideal so thanks for volunteering.
