Greatest Canadian? Pah!

So MotherCorp, in association with Canada's least-favourite airline, is doing one of those silly pick-the-most-important-person opiated distractions for the masses. Leaving aside the point that creating a metric for greatness is rather problematic (hint: creating a transform going from R^n to R loses information, particularly when you can't agree on the transformation function to begin with), it's a crying shame that the Hon. J. C. Crosbie, PC etc., the best premier Newfoundland never had, and the best Prime Minister that Canada never had, isn't on the top 100 list.

Canada, have you no shame?
