You gotta be kidding!
The CBC's The Greatest Canadian top ten list has just been announced. I can't believe it. Don Cherry is on the list. Say what? The CBC fired him a while back. How is it possible that a list that included Pierre Trudeau, Frederick Banting, Tommy Douglas, Lester Pearson, John A. Macdonald could also have Don Cherry. Apparently, 140,000 Canadians voted for him. I have to say that this is bizarre and disturbing voting behaviour, Canada.
What is he know for? The answer: Ugly shirts and a loud mouth.

AND no women in the final ten, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I am occasionally amused by Grapes, I was equally appalled to find him in the top ten.
(Okay, okay, I'm amused by his sartorial splendour...)

Yeah, surely Nellie McLung ought to have made the top ten. As for Mr. Cherry, I do find him amusing sometimes, but really.
ReplyDeleteHey, Shatnerian also comments on The Greatest Canadian today.

Interesting, but who is Shatnerian? he had a lot more to say than i did, that's for sure. Oh, and I guess it's spelled McClung, not McLung.
