Sorry, Just Bieber, But Avril Lavigne Is The Most Famous Canadian Ever





In international news, CBC reports that MIT, the prestigious American bastion of science and academia, launched an interactive online research project called Pantheon that proposes to “quantify fame through history.” (Guess they finally realized that neuroscience and physics are, like, nothing compared to our faves.)

Can you guess who tops Canada’s rankings? Why, it’s the Queen of Poutine herself, Ms. Avril Lavigne! Coming in after Mrs. Chad Kroeger on the list are Jim Carrey, then Justin Bieber, and THEN Celine Dion. (Zee best zinger in zee world comes in fourth? Get oot.)

...

But, like, who are we to stand in the way of an Avril Lavigne/Canadian Mountie visual just begging to be Photoshopped? Soar-ry, but we just can’t deny this call from the Great White North. Canada, f*** yeah!!!!

Teach the beliebers

Why did they have to go and make things complicated? Despite conclusions drawn by Canadian journalists, researchers at MIT say their new online research project is not, in fact, declaring that Avril Lavigne is the most famous Canadian. MIT recently unveiled a new interactive website called Pantheon, which collects and analyzes data, such as the number of Wikipedia pages, on the popularity of historical figures, from Aristotle to Celine Dion. The singer’s place atop the round-up of Canadians on the list sparked outrage, which is perhaps not surprising since she hasn’t had a hit since last decade, with 2007’s Girlfriend. “Due to implications that have been drawn by some Pantheon visitors, we would like to remind our visitors that, 1. Small differences in ranking (i.e. who is first, second or tenth) are not statistically meaningful and should not be used to draw conclusions about the popularity of similarly ranked individuals. (i.e. we are NOT claiming that Avril Lavigne is the most famous Canadian).”
