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.
