Trudeau, Niagara Falls among top Canadian icons, poll finds

Very interesting, Pierre's still the man, 40 years later. Some of the comments are hilarious, especially the one who calls him a "reactionary." :rofl:

I certainly wouldn't have had Harper or Celine Dion even in the full Top 101 List:

Some of the things are kind of dumb, eg. Canadian beer -- despite what many guzzlers here may think, there are plenty of beers better than ours, some of which are American (gasp!). And since when is the Queen Canadian?

I'm glad Brian Mulroney isn't even on the list. Tuff shit, Brian, Trudeau can even make you look stupid from beyond the grave. The only image of him I can see on a list like that is Brian holding the bars of his prison cell, sadly peering out, while his large, bald, and heavily tattooed cellmate, with a sly look on his face, beckons him back to the bunk.
