well since this contest was voted on by the people, it was expected to be a bit of a popularity contest, wasn't it?
I took a look at the top 100 yesterday to count the women on it (19) and people may joke but Celine(around #30) and Pamela Anderson (#51) were on it, and Shania Twain was the highest female at #18. The 2nd highest female was Nellie McClung at 23 - I think she was the one that made women human since before that we weren't in the eyes of the law.
Not to mention, in general there were a lot of singers/actors on the list.
I think the debates at the end helped make it less of a popularity contest and more of a meaningful choice because there really are so many who haven't heard of Tommy Douglas, like me.
