[edit] How do you invent insulin?
Does this mean Synthesized Insulin, or what? Windthorst 21:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Numbering Wrong
THE NUMBERED INVENTIONS LISTED THERE ARE NOT IN ORDER, THATS FROM THE TORONTO STAR TV GUIDE RIGHT ? THEY DONT MATCH UP AGAINST THE SHOWS NUMERS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.48.39.164 (talk) 02:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
- No, the numbering (after I changed it) is from the show. The way they did the last three confused me for a bit, but ortherwise it's right. I'm preaty sure I didn't make any mistakes. JQF • Talk • Contribs 03:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Question: if there are 50 inventions, why are we up to 62, with some repeated (e.g.Wonderbra).Mattnad 23:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
OK. I went back to the CBC site and corrected the entries in this article to match the order and number. Now back to 50.Mattnad 13:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Canadian"?
What makes the inventions listed specifically Canadian? To give an example: Alexander Graham Bell Was born in Scotland, lived in Canada for a year and then moved to the US. Not quite sure where to lay the claim here, and I haven't even looked into other people also credited with this particular invention - cfr. the light bulb and Thomas Alva Edison. I suppose television makers have greater issues than accuracy, but this being Wikipedia I reckon it's interesting to know how the creators would link this fairly specific list to Canada. -- MiG 07:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- All that matters for this show is that Canadians thought these were their inventions and voted accordingly. This was entertainment, and not necessarily the paragon of historic accuracy. Mattnad 18:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Wow. Just to think that the wonder bra and 5 pin bowling beat the pacemaker. Kinda sad. FireHazard17 (talk) 03:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
