Update: The show and idea were great, but I think the judges mistook SYMBOLS for wonders. The canoe, igloo and - my favourite - grain elevators are all wonderful symbols of Canada, but not wonders in the sense of, "how the heck was this made (whether man-made or natural)? Also, some of the 7 are not exclusive to Canada - Niagara Falls andf the Rockies, for instance, extend into the US!
Missing: Trans Canada, Haida Gwaii, the Dempster and Cabot Trail, Manitoulin Island and the Northwest Passage.
