Canada has long been overdue for their own Seven Wonders. Sure, why not?

So after 20,000 nominations and over one million votes over the internet and phone, the finalists are in. And they include the igloo, the canoe, and the prairie skies. I'm not kidding. Now I don't want to poke fun at our lovely Northern neighbors, but you all have to agree, this is pretty funny. One blogger proposed that perhaps if mother nature balanced a canoe on top of an igloo, than maybe you've got something to talk about...

The following criteria were used by the judges in the evaluation:

• Essential "Canadian-ness" — historically significant, character filled, valued
• Originality/uniqueness of the pitch and place
• Spectacular physical site or amazing human creation
• Ability to inspire
• Range within the final seven — diversity of location, type of wonder
• Results of online votes

I am going to start using the word "Canadian-ness" on a very regular basis.

All humor aside, I do think this was a valuable exercise, and Canada obviously has so many beautiful landmarks that deserve recognition. Here are the four other wonders:

• Niagra Falls
• Old Quebec City
• Pier 21, Halifax
• Rockies

Wait, what about Canadiannnnness top soil?
