No, I'm not oblivious to the fact that Bono and Bill and Melinda Gates are on Time's cover as its 2005 "People of the Year." It's just that Time didn't stop there. The Canadian version of the magazine has named Canada Supreme Court Justice John Gomery as its 2005 "Newsmaker of the Year."
Justice Gomery received the recognition for "his work under the public glare, for renewing a modicum of faith in democratic accountability at a time of unprecedented anger toward politics and politicians, and for handling a complicated and supercharged inquiry with authority, charm and passion." He chairs a commission which is looking into "the sponsorship scandal" whatever that is.
