The Seven Wonders of Canada

[Greymatters]

It seems to have started as a CBC competition...
http://www.cbc.ca/sevenwonders/

It sounds like a good idea, but I find some of the things that people consider to be wonders a little...well, ridiculous.  Most 'wonders' are natural or man-made but tend to be physical objects that are notable for their uniqueness or other special characterisitcs, not just locally and nationally,  but also worldwide. 

A highway?  A giant egg? Dawson City? Grand Beach?  A bagel?  Give me a break....

It does if you use the search page.  If you use the text box in the header while in a forum area, it only searches that forum.
