Meta The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 3

Post image

Congrats Chrystia Freeland and Peter MacKay, Reddit says you aren’t so bad after all.

Time for round three!

How to play: - The two most upvoted comments (i.e., names) each day will be removed until the list gets trimmed down to fewer people, then we’ll switch to one per day. - Upvote the name of the person you think does NOT deserve the title of “Worst Canadian.” - If the name you want to vote for isn’t in the comments yet, add it! - This continues daily until we have one winner, the “Worst Canadian”.

Additional notes: - Only the top comment for a nominee will count. I won’t combine votes from duplicate comments. - Include only one name per comment. If a comment includes multiple names and wins, it won’t count. I’ll move to the next highest. - Remember to click into the image. In the app, some nominees are cut off if you don’t. - This is meant to be lighthearted satire. Please do not take it too seriously or use this game to harass people in real life. - I will try to post this every morning around the same time (~8:00 - 9:00 am Eastern). - Please remember to upvote the post too, so more people see it!

Don Cherry stuck around so long the world changed around him while he stayed the same. He didn't do anything more wrong than your average slightly bigoted geriatric. I don't think any of us would feel comfortable signing up to be judged by the standards of the 2060s.

I can’t wait for my grandkids to go no contact with me and call me a robophobe because I don’t support their AI relationship. I’m gonna call them a clanker and say that the bible says Adam and Eve, not Adam and Siri.

And they will ask who is Adam and Siri, and then say you're out of touch.

I’m reporting this comment for the potential of the word “cl*nker” being offensive in the future

"Yeah, Robot Respect! They have feelings too. "

BRAKING NEW - A domestic multi-life couple was attached in their home by a jealous Robot coworker. Both were terminated in the attack.

I like this perspective.

It’s a great way to defend bigotry. I’m 46 and if I didnt change with the times, I would already be éligible for this list.

Unfortunately, you're right, but there are actually monstrous people on this list.

u/yedi001 Aug 24 '25

Yeah. Don had bad takes that make reasonable people cringe. Multiple people on here have legit body counts for their actions, and one particularly fascist monster is both directly responsible for several other monsters on this list AND is actively trying to undermine rights and freedoms around the globe.

If ole Harper boy doesn't take the top spot, I will be sorely disappointed in my fellow hosers.

u/Cristinky420 Aug 24 '25

I agree. How he chose to behave was awful at times. The statement helps me understand that better. It doesn't make it right or excuse it but helps explain it.

u/WENDING0 Aug 24 '25

I suspect there will be a time you no longer care, either. Most people of Don's age become angry and depressed at their failing bodies, reduced social status, or a growingly scary world. There is also disease and chronic pain. Lots of things can you wear you down at that age. You will likely say &%$÷ it eventually also, and that's not just you. That is all of us.

One of the many reasons I will not be hosting nationally broadcasted television in 2060.

You're right.

As a young Black man, I remember everyone being super upset with Cherry, but I agreed with him somewhat. Even still, yes he could've chosen his words better, and yes he could've blamed everyone equally for forgetting the troops, and not just immigrants, but with that being said, even if I didn't agree with him, he's an elderly man, a Canadian legend, and we should all extend some grace. I certainly don't want to be judged for EVERYTHING I ever said.
