Default Canada: Beaver vs. Polar Bear
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16219305

Quote:
The suggestion from a Canadian senator that Canada should replace its national emblem has sparked a national debate about what it means to be a Canadian in the 21st Century.

Beaver or polar bear? This is the stark choice Canadians face as they rethink how they want to present themselves to the rest of the world.
Well, what's your view on this one?

No vote; it should be the Loon.

Any ideas why the formally respectable BBC seems to be morphing into a National Enquirer clone? Did Rupert Murdoch buy the Corporation or it this just a no-news day?

Actually I'll agree on the Loon.

And no, the BBC always had these. It is very clearly in the "In other news..." section, so it's not like it's a front-page world-class item.
