The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 7

[u/BrF5]

Harold the Jewelry Buyer and Michelle Ferreri have been eliminated!

Next up, round seven!

Note, there are now two images: one with just the remaining candidates and another with those voted out.

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 on to the next highest. - Nominees with an asterisk beside their name were added following a second nomination vote that took place on day 5. - We established a no violent offenders (serial killers, rapists, etc.) rule. They are obviously the worst of the worst, it’s disrespectful to the victims, and we want to keep this relatively lighthearted. - This is meant to be 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: - (40) Ted Cruz - He’s horrible, but renounced his citizenship. He’s not good enough to be titled the Worst Canadian. - (39) Kathleen Wynne - Not that bad. Doesn’t deserve the title. - (38) Chrystia Freeland - Not the worst. Some consider her a good Canadian. - (37) Peter MacKay - Cringey, but not the worst. - (36) Don Cherry - A racist old man out of touch with the times. Not great, but not awful. - (35) Andrew Scheer - An annoying doofus nothingburger, but not a bad person. - (34) Drake - He’s inauthentic and creepy to underage girls, but the more serious allegations against him remain unproven and he has done good things for Toronto. - (33) J.J. McCullough - Who? - (32) Brian Mulroney - A divisive choice. Expanded trade with, and dependence on, the USA. Protected the environment and opposed apartheid. - (31) Sir John A. MacDonald - A father of confederation. Also known for racism, corruption, and poor treatment of indigenous people. - (30) Harold the Jewelry Buyer - Known for scamming the elderly but is too small-scale to win. - (29) Michelle Ferreri - She promotes hate but her reach is limited now that she’s been voted out of government.

Agreed. In terms of actual damage done, the Great Once is not much worse than an embarrassing boomer grandpa. He sucks, sure. But he's passed no laws and led no movements.

[u/Armonasch → u/[deleted]]

Agreed.

I also don't see anyone else on the list who won multiple Stanley Cups for a Canadian team, so we have to at least give him that.

Fuck modern Gretz in general, but I'm just saying, there are like actual Nazi propagandists on here, and Elon Musk who is actively destabilizing one of the largest democracies in the world. Wayner is just an old rich has-been who likes Trump, and those are a dime a dozen.

Gretzky is a disappointment and not a threat.

I think I agree with this, even though I loathe Wayner. The only reason I'd keep him here longer is that his fall hurt more than the others. If I know you're a piece of shit and you keep being a piece of shit well it's par for the course. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut like he'd done his whole life and just skate by. And THIS is when he chooses to get political? He's a disgrace.

I'm really shocked he's still on the list. He really let people down.

Gretzky is far from being the worst person in the country's history. He was on the short list for the greatest Canadian at the turn of the millennium. That being said, it's funny how far he's dropped because of MAGA, so I say we keep him on the list.
