Yeah and I bet they're biased towards humans too. why the hell would I vote for Suzuki when I could vote for a tree????? In article <4086e0e9$1_1@aeinews.>, Basilic@no.thanks says... > >I guess a lot of you hockey fans saw this commercial. > >The CBC has a contest where you, Joe/Jane Public, gets to nominate who the >Greatest Canadian is/was. After you nominate, they tally the votes and pick >a winner. > >Nothing wrong so far....but, > >on their web site, www.cbc.ca/greatest , they offer a list of people to >choose from. No, you don't have to choose one of these, you could, in fact, >choose whomever you like, could be your neighbour. > >Now, going through this list I saw that they have listed non Canadians, >i.e.. Bell, Cartier, Champlain, Cunard (only made it to the C's). This is >quite deceiving, whereas some people could get the idea that these non >Canadians were actually Canadian, funny as it sounds. > >That's the rotten CBC for you. I've complained to them stating that they >should rename the contest, to something like "The most influential person >towards Canada" or modify the list to contain true Canadians (born here or >immigrated and became naturalized). We'll see if they do anything. IMO I >don't think so because the CBC are decievers and are quite BIASED. > >Having vented, go Suzuki go. > > >
