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. Agreed, however Suzuki is one of the biggest sucks of public money....he's just another of those LIEbrawl types, running around like Chicken Little, worrying that the sky or ozone layer, whatever, is falling.
