IQALUIT — A web site called the "Canadian Political Survivor" is proposing to send six leading Canadian politicians to a virtual Baffin Island to see who can survive.
Based on the hit television saga, Survivor, the web site will pretend to strand six politicians on Baffin, where every week they will have to deal with challenging, hypothetical political situations. As with the TV show Survivor, people will be able to cast their votes on the site, and chose one politician to be "thrown off" Baffin.
According to the site's poll at www.FindPolitics.com, the top choices for politicians to be sent to this virtual Baffin Island were Jean Chrétien, Stockwell Day, Lucien Bouchard, and Sheila Copps. Paul Martin, Preston Manning, Brian Mulroney, and Joe Clark were tied for the remaining two places.
