Great to see this list here, I'll vote when I've read them all. There was a discussion group for the 2016 version hosted by the CBC but I can't find it. Has that section been deleted?

Thanks for your future participation! I find it's so much easier to track the progress this way. I'm glad so many of you have voted. I hadn't looked at the discussion board, but maybe they did delete it.
