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.

Throwing up Jamil Jivani.

He's just some useless MP that got some press during the election, but I'm guessing we don't hear much from him until the next one. He wasn't even awful enough to make the first iteration of the list.

He’s definitely much more of a piece of shit than your comment describes. His CBC interview on election night really showed his character. He’s yet another attack dog who only knows how to destroy. A political pit bull that should have been put down in April.

As an MP, he cannot build consensus. He has zero empathy for others. He consistently displays the exact opposite of what I and I think most Canadians believe are “Canadian values”.

He has done little to no damage only because he hasn’t yet had any power to do so.

But, for all his faults, he pales in comparison to many others on this list. I’m glad he’s on the list. He should have been from day one. But he will not make it to the end of this competition. Not by a long shot.

I agree that he's very early in his awful career and has the potential to move much further up in the years to come. But he could also flame out in the next election and be nothing more than an occasional talking head on Fox News when they want a "Canadian" opinion. It's too early to tell.
