A successful operation by the “Pyjamahadeen” – Don Cherry has made the top ten in CBC’s “Greatest Canadians” list. Kevin Libin;
Those of you who have been following the Shotgun for a while might remember that the Meatriarchy campaigned to get all of us to vote for Cherry who, at the time, looked as though he was about to get fired from CBC following last hockey season’s dustup over frenchmen and hockey visors. As a Canadian who practices free speech and political incorrectness, Grapes was the perfect foil for the CBC’s exercise in national values standardization.
I suspect the nod to Cherry came directly as a result of the tireless on-line campaigning of one of our favourite bloggers. So congratulations to the Meatriarchy. (And shame on the CBC for not knowing (as the Meatriarchy also notes) that Alexander Graham Bell was not a Canadian, but a Scot who only spent a few years here, as well as living in the U.S. and the U.K.)
| Heh. Vote early – and vote often!. |  |
update – Garth Woolsey at The Star is not amused. Even better.
