A Top 10 is media-friendly but it does nothing to aid the preservation of #11 onward. Heritage Canada Foundation should consider doing a long list. If the Polaris Prize can garner attention with its driftnet of largely decaf alternative adult contemporary albums, surely some good would come of a similar roster of imperilled architectural lovelies.

Leave it to Architecture Hamilton and you'll be stuck in 2008, with its attendant cause du jour.

BTW, are we in the clear on #10, or is the Beach Canal Lighthouse going the way of the incandescent light bulb?
