The field is now set after the seeding round<\/a>. Four Dippers, three 1990s Liberals, two men from the 19th Century, a pair of reformers, a world renowned human rights expert, and a handful of Tory Premiers and Cabinet Ministers. The top 50 are below; of note, Cartier gets the fourth seed for winning Quebec, and poor D’Arcy McGee can’t catch a break, losing the coin flip with Deb Grey for 15th place.<\/p>\n

Voting is now open and, once again, you can vote once a day until Tuesday at noon, when the contest closes. The winner of each matchup will advance to the next round under March Madness seeding rules. Over the long weekend, I plan to profile some of the matchups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
