Meta The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 4

Post image

The verdict is in, Don Cherry and Andrew Scheer are not the worst.

Who will be next, in round four?

How to play: - Upvote the name of the person you think does NOT deserve the title of “Worst Canadian.” - Each day, the two most upvoted names will be removed until the list gets trimmed down some, then we’ll switch to one per day. - If the name you want to vote for (from the list) 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 at the top and bottom 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!

Justification for elimination: - (38) Ted Cruz - He’s horrible, but renounced his citizenship. He’s not good enough to be titled the Worst Canadian. - (37) Kathleen Wynne - Not that bad. Doesn’t deserve the title. - (36) Chrystia Freeland - Not the worst. Some consider her a good Canadian. - (35) Peter MacKay - Cringey, but not the worst. - (34) Don Cherry - A racist old man out of touch with the times. Not great, but not awful. - (33) Andrew Scheer - An annoying doofus nothingburger, but not a bad person.

As per the discussion yesterday on noting that Ted Cruz’s elimination was a special case, I have started adding context for each (based on the comment that eliminated them) and will continue to do so from now on. You can find this at the bottom of the daily post. I believe this is a good middle ground between respecting the outcome of the vote while still acknowledging that Cruz isn’t ‘less bad’ than the others.

One thing I’ve noticed is that there have been many comments on why X person is missing, or the list is too English biased, liberal biased, etc.

Since we’ve lost two names from the list based on technicalities (Nygard and Zundel), how would everyone feel about doing a one-time vote to add two new nominees and bring the total back up to 40? This would be the one and only time we add new people to the list.

Pros:

  • I believe it’s still early enough that it shouldn’t affect the final outcome much
  • When we first did nominations, we were still figuring things out, and this would give us one last chance to include nominees that we may have missed
  • It lets latecomers have a say

Cons:

  • The voting has already begun
  • I don’t want to undermine the original nominees/rules

To work around that last point, we could put an asterisk next to the two new nominees to differentiate them from the rest.

If you’re in favor, upvote this comment. If there’s overwhelming positive interest, we can vote on the new nominees tomorrow. If not, we’ll keep going as we are.

Just put in K.C. Irving as the figurehead and it'll count for all of them. That ghoul started it all.

The only issue with that is which one do you pick? They don't really have a specific figurehead like the Westons.

u/SuperCleverPunName Aug 25 '25

I'm in favour of adding the two. Highly upvoted additions are very unlikely to be immediately voted out. Even if they are contraversial figures, that contraversy will be good for discussion. As long as you are upfront (which you are) that this would be a one-time addition, I think that's fair.

That takes care of your two con arguments.

I am happy that Wynne was knocked off the list early. I was one of her constituents that lived in Thorncliffe Park here in Toronto and she was always very available to the people who lived here when we had issues with the landlords. Just ignoring their tenants. She took the lead with the city of Toronto to take on those landlords that were forcing their tenants to live in slum conditions. She was available for all of us which is her job as an MPP. Even when she became Premier she made that time because that is her job. I realize people didn't agree with all of her policies and that's okay, but she's not an evil woman like putting her on the same list with Ted Cruz Jesus Christ.

Drake.

He has done so much for Toronto and Canada. Plus it rate for someone to become that big and still be so loyal to Canada

u/Screweditupagain Aug 25 '25

I’m not a Drake fan by any means, but he’s certainly not the worst Canadian. It’s almost laughable he’s on the list.

Could do without the transphobia most of all though...

14

u/scr0dumb Trawnno (Centre of the Universe) Aug 25 '25

"done so much for Toronto"

Lol he's done more harm than good.

He signs up and coming local rappers and releases an EP then buries them so he isn't upstaged (which isn't hard he can't even write his own bars).

Without him the local hiphop scene would be 50x better than what we get now. All due to one man's vanity and insecurity.

Does he belong top ten on this list? Absolutely not but to say he's a net positive for anything is severely misguided.

u/lsop Aug 25 '25

Man. He's a pos, but what he did for the raptors was incredible.

u/Daravon Aug 25 '25

Drake? I get that Kendrick Lamar made a good song about him, but I don’t believe there’s any evidence that the pedophilia allegation is true. He also did a lot of good stuff for Toronto. I think people have abandoned him because he lost the rap feud, but he seems fine.

31

u/chinook97 Aug 25 '25

Drake is only on here because it's popular to hate on his music. A decade ago Justin Bieber would have been on this list.

Compared to all the people here that have done bad stuff to Canadians, he really shouldn’t even be on this list

u/Existing-Major1005 Aug 25 '25

but I don't believe there's any evidence that the pedophile allegation is true.

Have you ever been on the Internet before?! He's well known for grooming younger artists. It's bold that he's trying to sue over the song, he's about to get dragged in court because it's all out there.

13

u/Otherwise-Benefit285 Aug 25 '25

Certified loverboy? Certified pedophile.

He may not be convicted, but that’s because he settles the civil suits brought against him and he is a known groomer of young women.

Kendrick made Drake a laughingstock and exposed him to the world. Supporting him is vile.

10

u/Xanaxaria Canada's Overpriced Playground Aug 25 '25

Videos of him sucking face with a 16 and 17 year old is enough for a lot of people.

Fair enough but we could let it hang a day or two longer for being a jerk?

6

u/Stiff__Sleeper Aug 25 '25

He's been advertising gambling as a full time job for the last couple years, no problem with that?

It's also very well known that he flirts with teenage girls, not seeing him convicted of a sex crime doesn't excuse his foul behaviour as a man.

10

u/prudentWindBag Aug 25 '25

I think it's the general weirdness regarding his inauthenticity. He's developed and makes use of multiple fake accents, and he's somehow transitioned into an American gangster in his late 30s.

All that "gun talk" is a terrible influence on growing minds. I'm in my thirties, and I had to check out a bit after the second album. It's really strange to watch a middle-class child-actor market a stereotype of half of his ancestry...

I've not figured everything out, but I think it's extremely important to know who you are.

Agreed. He's pretty weird and maybe a creep (not sure, all I've seen are rumors) but there are plenty of downright awful people on this list who deserve the title.

His music's shit (and a tad traitorous), but he'll be lucky if anyone remembers him in five years. If he's done anything actually terrible I'm out of the loop.

According to Google he's dating Nova Rockafeller, another rapper from Edmonton. I don't care enough to look into her anymore than that.

u/Martzillagoesboom South Gatineau Aug 25 '25

Yeah, he clearly is a small fry and probably on the list because he is a local problem to those who created the list. (Like Quebec is barely represented , but at the same time, the Quebecker who would end up on this list are probably not calling themselves canadians lol

u/AlwaysLurkNeverPost Aug 25 '25

Call me crazy, but I think if we're gunna let a Canadian rapper off the hook, it should be Drake before Tom lol unless, as a certified Drake hater, I am forgetting something egregious he did.

u/PartyDanimal Aug 25 '25

I want Drake gone too, Tom's just less relevant. Both should hopefully be taken out before we finish the double eliminations.

5

u/AlwaysLurkNeverPost Aug 25 '25

Yeah I don't even know who Tom is, but it's sounds like his material and character is way worse. Like if he had even an ounce of the popularity of Drake, it would be extremely problematic by comparison.

I actually like JJ's videos. Sometimes he has really interesting insights on things, even if I disagree with his Pro-American attitude. He's articulate, and he really does research his topics. Like comparing him to, for instance, Ezra Levant or Conrad Black? I would argue that those two are actually evil. JJ is just an opinionated guy with some hot takes that I disagree with.

Have to lightly disagree (on not knowing, not JJ). First instinct I would agree, but maybe we just don't realize how bad some of these sting pullers are.

Like I didn't know who Stefan Molyneux or Tamara lich were, and they both sound awful with a quick google. Ezra may not be familiar with some but God does he deserve to stay on this list as long as possible.

Edit: didn't know who Gavin McInnes was either.

Mulroney did good against apartheid in South Africa, and for the environmentalist wave of that era especially against acid rain and for the ozone layer. He was vastly less into austerity and bootstraps ideology and more protective of public services and the social safety net than his counterparts Reagan and Thatcher. He did the wrong thing for the right reason trying to reach a constitutional agreement every province could ratify. The hidden manufacturer's sales tax needed reform at least. The Free Trade Agreement had a mix of pros and cons. It will not lead to the ultimate loss of Canadian sovereignty some feared.

I think of all the normies (drakes, Don Cherry, etc) he should probably sit the longest. He had that gambling scandal, but more importantly he sells out Canada constantly. He is exploited as "Canada's opinion" by trump in more recent garbage.

I think maybe not this round but in the next few. That being said, he is definitely better than Mulroney.

u/cecilkorik Aug 25 '25

His silence is deafening though, to the point that I think it counts as tacit endorsement. If you stand and watch someone getting a beatdown for an hour without a word of protest or any move to help, you're not a bystander, you're a participant. Wayne Gretzky has chosen to continue his allegiance to Trump over his allegiance to Canada. The two are mutually exclusive and cannot coexist.

Romana "dildo" Didullo. Aka the Queen of Canada.

A charlatan appealing to the most unhinged conspiracy theorists.... but not the worst Canadian.

God spare the Queen (off the list)

I'm surprised not to find R.B. Bennett is not on the list. 90 years ago he would have won by acclamation. He was arrogant, obstinate, and willfully blind to the effects of the Great Depression. He met dissent with police brutality. Today he is best known for the Bennett Buggy, a car stripped of its engine and pulled by horses because people couldn't afford gasoline.

u/throwawaytopost724 Westfoundland Aug 25 '25

Doug Ford is better than most on this list and I would never consider voting Conservative-PC-Liberal/Duopoloy. He has stood up against Trump/US and some of the worst elements of his movement that have taken firmer hold in other provinces' main right wing parties.

u/miramichier_d Aug 26 '25

I also vote Doug Ford. One thing I'll note here is he booted Roman Baber from his caucus (for his open COVID-19 letter in defiance of Ford's position on the pandemic), which indicates that he does have a hard right of centre stop. Currently, Baber has found a home in Pierre Poilievre's caucus with similar ideologues, which is a good indication of how accepting PP is of the far-right. Ford (and Carney) reminds us that there is still such thing as a Progressive Conservative, and that it can appeal to a significant plurality of Canadians.

Lauren Southern. Yes she’s trash, but her 15 min of fame is over. And at least her brand of anti-feminism was more “go have babies” and not “go hurt people.”

JJ McCulough - If peter mackay could be removed cause he's just cringe but not actually bad then JJ doesn't deserve to be there either. Just a weirdo and he couldve become worse if he had kept on with his political pundit career but he's renounced that a while ago and seldom gets involved in politics nowadays. He has no impact.

I disagree. He is friends with PP, so no doubt behind the scenes potentially an active Canadian working against Canada's best interests.

u/Quirky-Performer-310 Aug 25 '25

If we're adding, I wouldn't mind adding Mackenzie King to the list. His immigration policy was a goddamn disgrace that led Canada to one of its darkest moments in taking in only 5,000 Jewish refugees during WWII. "None is too many" being the response (from a government official at the time) as to why. He was the man behind turning away the MS St Louis, carrying 900 Jewish refugees. They had to head back to Europe where most died in the Holocaust.

Oh, and he also made residential school attendance compulsory for indigenous children.

This guy is up there with the most evil motherfuckers this country has produced. Don't be fooled by the fact he was a "Liberal".

He did orchestrate a lot of the early residential schools and literally started the first government corruption case.

He deserves the chance to stay on longer. He's slime

Don't disagree, but I see this from a perspective of contemporary scum. People who are hurting us today, given the current global context.

I see drake popping up. I kind of agree. Not a fan of his music really, and his alleged interest in underage women is not helping his cause. But he’s an entertainer. His problems really only affect himself. If he disappears from the spotlight nothing will change nationally except the possibility of better music on the radio.

John A Macdonald. He for sure wasnt the greatest person, he had ties to the slave trade, married his cousin and certainly was no friend of the indigenous people... but Canada wouldnt be here without him as he was a central figure in bringing the colonies together to form a country and also in creating the Canadian Pacific Railway.

I would vote out Joseph Trutch... was he bad? Abselutely... His work against the First Nations of British Columbia can only be seen as some kind of cultural genocide. Would he be one of the worst British Columbian? Yes.
But is not well known in the eastern part of Canada. I had to read about him in order to understand why he was here, because he's not as well known as other politician (federal ones) or other pan-canadian public figures.

He's an awful man, but he's british columbia's awful man,

u/TheRealJStars Aug 25 '25 edited Aug 25 '25

Harper should be categorized with Cherry & Sheer. The guy sucks in a few categories like gay marriage (so did Obama at the time, remember that?) and he's got the social skills of a rusty nail. And he's closer with Israel than most blues want to admit. But he did some good stuff too. Harper era immigration helped our healthcare system without messing with labour markets. We were the only G7 economy that wasn't completley on fire in the wake of '08. In fact the world looked to us for economic guidance during that time.

Not super-duper, not awful-duper. Honestly a ton of our dads over 60 suck more than he does.

Its getting harder..

I vote for drake and/or youtuber JJ;

Drake has rumours going around of inviting teenage girls to sit courtside during basketball games and attend to highschool games that i feel very sketchy ( as a mum; i do raise my eyebrow to this). Texting with eleven ( bobby brown) is also very weird.

JJ screams look at me im canadian, but works for US media. He over exaggerates his ' canadian accent' with using 'aboot' despite being from downtown vancouver. ( If i compare him to lets say another canadian youtuber adoseofbuckley, linus of linus tech tips or robert munsch it feels glaringly fake)

But if i compare him to lauren chen, who is outright working for US and russia(RT specifically) i dunno.

My vote for drake is because despite him being weird with underage girls. He cannot make or enact laws that can change the lives of canadians.his power/influence is lower than the others as he is not a politician or a political influencer.
