From the Niagara Falls Review:
Hey Thunder Bay! Where’s your Sleeping Giant now?
Yet another accolade was showered upon Niagara Falls Tuesday, as the world-famous waterfall was declared “Canada’s Most Dependable Landmark.”
Niagara Falls was inducted into the “Dependability Hall of Fame” Tuesday.
It’s an Internet thing (www.maytagdepnedabilityhalloffame.ca). You can’t pack up the kids in the station wagon and visit it the same way you can go to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto or baseball’s Cooperstown.
Confirmation of the honour arrived by e-mail Tuesday morning from a Toronto public relations company representing Maytag appliances.
The dependability hall of fame is a publicity stunt by the appliance company to mark its 100th anniversary (Get it? So dependable the repairman is the loneliest guy in town?)
