I'm sure if it's put to a vote it would probably be Sidney Crosby.

Any list that short-lists Kim Campbell as influential inside or outside canada can't be serious (she probably submitted her own name), so here is my nominee:

Slightly more seriously, David Frum was a speechwriter for the Republicans for a few years including for 'W' while he was president. So help helped start 2 wars. I guess that's pretty high 'influentiousity' as George would say...
