Greatest Canadian?

I keep seeing ads for a show called "The Greatest Canadian" or something to that effect, and it has the usual suspects, Sir John A. Macdonald (Canada's first PM), Terry Fox, Alexander Graham Bell, and

I think it's fantastic that Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau and David Suzuki and Tommy Douglas are all on the top 10 list too- but then we have 2 that stick out like a sore thumb.

Don Cherry?
Wayne Gretzky?

How would the inventor of Insulin feel about being grouped with them?  How would Terry Fox or the inventor of the Telephone feel about having to compete for pride with Hockey players.

I mean- sure- it's a popular sport, but this is totally ludicrous!!!  Don Cherry took the place of Marshall McLuhan and Wayne Gretzky took the place of Mordichai Richler or Farley Mowatt!

But nooooo- Canadians have once again proved themselves as simply mediocre by voting for sports personalities.

Edgar Bronfman Jr or Jeff Skoll rather have made larger impacts on the everyday lives of people than the Sports personalities.
