Ms.Huxtable Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I just registered to vote. This is a great little contest the CBC has going on. Everyone vote! Either that or I fear Don Cherry may take it. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 I see Neil made number 14, I can accept that. How the F did Shania Twain make number 18? Are people fu©king serious? I notice Celine is in the top 30 too. What a joke that these two beat Gordon Lightfoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 My Dad used to fish with Bob's brother Wayne. Cool guy, must have had 15 or 20 different rods that he'd take with them. And God help us if Don Cherry wins. He's going up against THE CREATOR OF THE TELEPHONE and he could still win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 i wonder about the appeal of don cherry... perhaps we're just at a time when canadians are putting a particular value on people who speak their mind and dont' kiss ass i watched his bio actually and he really comes off as an everyman i could be wrong though - david suzuki would get my vote but i wish he could find more ways to actually affect how people are living everyday - I want him to save the world, but sometimes i just feel like he's preaching to the choir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayRay Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I saw David Suzuki do a lecture two weeks ago, man he really makes you think about the deeper issues. I completely dig the way he completely practices what he preaches, a true man of integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippy Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I watched the Suzuki episode last night and found the host, Melissa Auf Der Maur, extremely annoying. The program seemed to be more about her travelling around in her fancy tour bus and singing crappy songs than about the life and legacy of David Suzuki. The whole show had a terrible flow and every Suzuki ideal that she presented seamed to falter and had no connection to her next point. I wish the CBC could have found someone a little less flakey to the convey the points of such a wonderful public speaker, scientist, professor and environmentalist.
