Stephane, not Stephanie. He’s a guy.
I know, foreign names are hard.

And still no citation of the source.

This is awesome. I especially love how you not only failed to post a link to the source (http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/mmnr/Super_Mario_Galaxy/index.html) but actually failed to read and comprehend it yourself!

The survey dealt with the recognition of Mario, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Leader of the Opposition *Stephane* Dion. Singer Celine Dion was not mentioned in the survey.

Gee, it’s really confusing when two people have the same last name, eh?

By the way, you may have fixed the headline but Google News cached “Canadians recognise Mario over president…” and you’ve left “Mario for Canadian president?” in the article itself.

Journalism at its finest.

Nah. Us Canadians just aren’t that into politics as the United States, typically. Oh, and I love how you guys changed it from “president” to “prime minister” after I posted.

Pretty stupid story! For sure not as many people could recognise Celine Dion. Mario always looks identical while Celine changes her look all the time. So it depends what Celine picture they used!! By the way, her new album Taking Chances is out today Nov. 13!
