The Great Candian Wishlist

The CBC has launched an experiment on Facebook. It created a group that allows poeple to voice their wishes about the future of Canada.

What they did not anticipate is a passionate, keep-no-prisoners race between highly motivated pro and anti abortionists that involved neck to neck race over many weeks, hacking of Facebook, accusations of bias for the CBC and loads of other fun things.

The www.cbc.ca/wish blog tracked the contest over the weeks.

The group on Face book is here
