 Hello All,
 
I have been following this for some time.
I think this is a great choice!
My understanding is that the Gray Jay, also know as the 'Meat Jay', 'Whiskey Jack'....and probably more names,  is found in every province of Canada. 
Though not known by many...because they are not urban dwellers, & this could be behind, the backlash to the Canadian Geographic's choice...., they are known, to be 'friendly, hardy, and very savvy, to get what they are after!! ...'
How much more Canadian, is that?   
And, the Gray Jay, is not, one of the listed species on the list, that was already, a Provincial bird in some province.
I certainly support this choice!
