Edmonton's The Bear radio station is drawing plenty of controversy with their latest contest where you could "win" a foreign wife.

Quote:
Thomas Lukaszuk, a Progressive Conservative MLA for the riding of Edmonton-Castle Downs, wrote on Facebook and Twitter that the contest was “deplorable” and demanded an apology from the station.
“The implied comparison of a wife being a prize that can be won like any other object just doesn’t sound good and it doesn’t feel right,” Lukaszuk told the Star.
He pulled his ministry’s advertising from the station in protest.

It's surely drumming up interest for and against and I suppose that's the point.
