The By George Journal<\/em> is conducting a Canadiana contest to select the most-Canadian of symbols. Essentially, what national item is most treasured by Canucks from coast-to-coast-to-coast?<\/p>\n

Based on the popular finalists of our Canada Day countdown last year, we have chosen a dozen of the most-beloved items of Canadiana and ask our followers to select their top 3. \u00a0Submit your choices to chrisg.george@gmail.com<\/a> before midnight June 29.<\/p>\n

Then on Friday, June 30 By George<\/em> will announce the top Canadiana symbol as selected most by our followers – just in time for our Nation\u2019s 150 birthday bash!<\/p>\n

Here are the dozen symbols to select from:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The canoe<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The polar bear<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The northern lights<\/p>\n

Please pick 3 and submit them to chrisg.george@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

(You likely noticed that the Canadian flag was not offered in this selection. Nor was the red maple leaf. By George<\/em> is looking for a symbol other than our country’s flag. The maple leaf flag is, admittedly, the most recognizable symbol of Canada around the world and, argumentatively, the last wholly-accepted, national symbol Canadians share. But we wish to go beyond this single symbol and celebrate with other remarkable Canadiana. So, humour us by selecting three symbols from the dozen selected.<\/em>)<\/p>\n
