A street festival that has turned into a world phenomenon.

A show that suspends reality, time, and in some cases gravity!

Cirque du Soleil. You may have heard of it, you may have not.

One show is all you need to get you hooked.

This week, I take a look at Canada's version of the new circus.

Everyone loves a countdown.

Did you ever sit by the radio – usually at the end of the year, and listen to your favourite DJ count down the most popular songs?

Well, this one isn't about music, this one is about people. Everything I talk about is Canadian – and this list is not about the ones you know, but the ones you may NOT have known were Canadian.

Let me know what you think about the list. Were you surprised by any? Are there ones that I didn't mention that could make this list? Email me at AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca
