Mitch Cronin Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah, really well done.... but one or two of the selections are maybe just a bit much... Icons? Bieber??? Come on! Surely we don't have enough airplanes to get to him among our most notable, deserving Canadian greats? (I personally would put your aunt Jesse or Maverick's cousin Floyd on the tail, long before even thinking about him.) Where's Pierre Burton? Or June Callwood? ...or Tom Thompson, or A.Y. et al? .... or Robert Bateman? ...or Valdy?... or Joey Smallwood, or Ralph Klein, or...... sigh..... they put Bieber up as an icon...... am I that out of touch?

John S. Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I started to expect the very last slide when I got to some of the more esoteric 'icons'; but what made it really good was this thread.Thanks everyone (especially those who posted before reading the whole thing).

Innuendo Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I started to expect the very last slide when I got to some of the more esoteric 'icons'; but what made it really good was this thread.At the beginning I was taken in but as I worked through the set I was also beginning to wonder why none of these artworks had not shown up before. When Gerda Munsinger showed up I started to smell a bit of Rat. I was in the service when that blew up and it was not something the government of he day was happy about. Especially the Defence Minister.Edited to correct, I guess it was not the Minister of Defence but the Associate Minister, Sevigny, whose name ended up in lights.
