It is interesting that the CBC would conduct a multiple-choice poll titled "Which of the following books influenced you the most?," in a link to the Giller prize announcement, where none of the choices offered allowed a vote for a Canadian title, series or author. How incredibly colonial to assume that no Canadian-authored title would be as influential to any Canadian citizen responding to this poll as would be books from another culture.
