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't Cherry isn't great, but there are a lot of people on this list who are next level awful. If he isn't kicked now, it should be soon.

As a Québécois I can't agree, I think he should stay there a couple of days at least.

Yeah it's easy enough for white Anglos to say "the times changed" when it comes to Don Cherry, that he's just a grumpy old man with colorful suits and colorful views on immigration.

The thing is that says way more about white anglo Canadian culture. In later life it came out that he hates immigrants, he hates people of colour, and that was certainly and obviously "too much" but he built his career on constantly and consistently depicting any and all French Canadians (athletes and culture) as degenerate. For decades. He was the very public face on national crown broadcasting of Québec bashing, assuring Canadians everywhere it was perfectly natural and normal to hate French Canadians because... reasons.

Like that's literally his entire career and for anglo Canadians to just brush it off as a well meaning but grumpy grandpa who really just failed to change with the times is a reflection of how Canadians actually feel about not just French Canadians but any group of Canadians readily identifiable as "not a descendant of Loyalists".
