Hmmm... Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Bruce Cockburn...

Also, I think Canadians have more pious celebrities per capita than any other country by a factor of about ten thousand. This is why 'Trailer Park Boys' could only be regarded as a breath of fresh air in this country.

Quoted for emphasis.

Don't forget William Shatner.. and Pam Anderson

Bruce Cockburn hasn't even been considered a celebrity by low Canadian standards for the last decade or so.

"If a tree falls in the forest, just goes to show the p.o.s. songs that will get played because of CanCon laws." :lol"

Dion is a verbose, mild-mannered academic with a shaky grasp of English who seems unfit to chair a university department, much less lead a country.

William Shatner has to be up there, too...
William Shatner has raised annoying to an art form. People write lyrics about his toupee on ebay. At a certain point, a bad movie becomes so bad that it's good. Like, "Waterworld" or "Battlestar Galactica".

I'm upset that we only have faces. IMV, the most annoying Canadians are faceless bureaucrats in, for example, the CBC. Given the faces available, I'll choose Stephen Lewis (a perennial CBC icon) and Rex Murphy - for the sheer annoying verbosity of both men. They both take themselves seriously and they are both products of our coerced tax dollars.

Neither Lewis nor Murphy ever got anyone to give them a dollar voluntarily. Think about it.

I agree with you, except about Waterworld being a bad movie. It's a victim of some horrible publicity.

Every 'instant' Canadian from Lebanon has my vote. Especially the ones who complained about the lack of cruise ship status their ride had.... :angry:

The trouble with the legal profession is that 98% of its members give the rest a bad name.

Don't be humble - you're not that great.
