Talk:Pamela Anderson/Archive 2

{archive}} {== Centennial baby ==

The article currently says: Anderson got some press coverage right after her birth as the country's "Centennial Baby", having been the first baby born on July 1, 1967, the 100th anniversary of Canada's official founding via the Constitution Act, 1867. Admittedly, the source cited does say that, but it seems implausible because of the time zones in Canada. Anderson was born in British Columbia, which is in the Pacific Time Zone. Even if she was born at 12 a.m. there (and I have no information about what time of day she was born), it would already have been 4:30 a.m. in Newfoundland, 4 a.m. in the other Atlantic provinces, and 3 a.m. in Ontario and Quebec which were home to the majority of the country's population. Thus, it seems implausible that Pamela Anderson -- or any other British Columbian -- could have been the first baby born in the entire country on Canada's centennial day. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is usually local, not national, see details here, she was the first baby in the Ladysmith-Chemainus area:

I've changed the article to say she was a Centennial baby, not the Centennial baby, per multiple sources. TwoTwoHello (talk) 16:07, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
