SEP 03 Paul Gross’ full head of hair Because one in four Canadians believe it is harder for a man who is losing his hair to find a sexual partner, and we think they might be right. Sam Roberts’ facial hair Because although 1.6 billion men around the world are smooth-cheeked shavers, Canadian guys wear their sexy, scraggly goatees with style. Pierre Trudeau’s style Because the average Canadian male spends less than $500 a year on clothing, and favours khakis and polos over opera capes and dapper red roses for his lapel. Oscar Peterson’s hands Because 18% of Canadian men play an instrument, but few will make beautiful music for six decades running. Marc Gagnon’s physique Because flabby waist and hip circumference are good predictors of cardiovascular risk, and bods don’t come sleeker or shapelier than his. Steve Nash’s feet Because they’re size 12, and 77%* of Canadian women like a man with big… feet. Michael Smith’s brain Because all 10 Canadians who won the Nobel Prize were men, and because we really like his chemistry. Rufus Wainwright’s voice Because although only 7.2% of Canadian men sing solo or in a choir in front of an audience, 97.2%* are closet crooners who sing in the shower. Leonard Cohen’s soul Because the number of Buddhists in Canada increased by 84% in the last decade. And because while not every man can be a husky-voiced singer and poet, he can still learn to emote like one. Mario Lemieux’s courage Because 61% of Canadian men experienced back pain in the past year, but not all of them handled it so gracefully. The Sutherland clan’s DNA Because six times more men than women would like to be cloned, and 99%* of them wouldn’t turn down a chromosome from Donald or Kiefer (and neither would we). *enRoute estimate Sources: The Nobel Foundation; The Canadian Hair Research Foundation; Participation in Culture Activities by Sex, Statistics Canada; The Gillette Company; Religions in Canada, Statistics Canada; NPD Apparel Tracking, The NPD Group; Canadian Heart Health Surveys Research Group; Media Relations, Dallas Mavericks; Canadian Chiropractic Association; How Canadians Feel About Cloning, Léger Marketing.
