Comments on: Seven Wonders of MY Canada http://itellstories.org/2007/05/21/seven-wonders-of-canada/ Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:25:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Brian http://itellstories.org/2007/05/21/seven-wonders-of-canada/#comment-687 Brian Fri, 08 Jun 2007 22:42:59 +0000 http://www.eloquation.com/2007/05/21/seven-wonders-of-canada/#comment-687 To my surprise the seven picks that recieved the most votes are all the ones that I picked. I think CBC blew it by allowing 3 people to make the choice for all of us Canadians. It was obivious by the voting that Canadians thought the Seven Wonders were natural locations. The judges should of respected the wishes of the voting public and made their choices based closely on those results. At the start I thought it was an interesting competition but in the end it turn out to be a bad joke. To my surprise the seven picks that recieved the most votes are all the ones that I picked.

To eliminate the Sleeping Giant, which, I might add recieved 177 thousand votes and change -- double that of the next highest nominee, The Falls -- completley underminds the opinion of the average Canadian who voted. As you may have guessed, I am from Thunder Bay and am very disheartened by the end results. Having been named as a wonder would have brought much needed attention to a dying community in need of help from fellow Canadians. Whats more original then a naturally made "giant" sleeping in the middle of Lake Superior?

Remember this is a building that AMERICANS called one of the seven wonders of the modern world. I think people undervalue its engineering significance.

I've only been to Manitoulin Island about three times, and I actually had no clue about most of the other things you mentioned. It's quite the place to visit, and I plan on heading back there later this summer. Thanks for stopping by! Wow.

Thanks for mentioning Manitoulin Island in your blog. Not only are we the largest freshwater island in the world we also have the largest lake on a freshwater island in the world, the largest sand beach on a freshwater island in the world, the worlds largest peace pipe, the worlds largest dream catcher, Canada's only unceded Indian reserve, Canada's only remaining "working" swing bridge, Canada'a largest quarry and I dont' know what else. All I know is that I came here for a visit almost 30 years ago and I'm still here! Manitoulin Island, truly one of Canada's Seven Wonders. Hey! Thanks for mentioning Manitoulin Island in your blog.
