Canadian Top 10s

Hello

I use to have a weekly top ten section in the AIESEC house Bulletin board that Eric set up. However, since Eric left, it has fallen into disuse. Therefore, I'll transfer the list to my web blog now. I may do the same thing for my weekly "Canadianisms" and my Fun Canadian Facts section.
Anyways, here are the previous top tens and a brand new one
