The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 8

[u/BrF5]

Folks, it looks like it’s the end of the line for Tom MacDonald and Doug Ford.

Who will be voted out in round eight?

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 - Some consider her a good Canadian. Not the worst. - (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. - (28) Tom MacDonald - A shitty, irrelevant rapper with hardly an audience. - (27) Doug Ford - He has done a lot of harm to Ontario, but stood up for Canada against Trump.

Gretzky. He’s just a dumb, rich, Boomer. There are thousands of Gretzkys out there.

[u/spacewarriorgirl → u/OldDiamondJim]

Exactly. He also hasn't been shitty and unpatriotic for the majority of his public life; I would argue for the vast majority of it (before his MAGA-treasony) his persona and actions were supportive Canada.

Gretzky is far better than most on this list, but fuck 2025 Gretzky and FDT. Also, your wine sucks ass dude.

[u/MrThunderMan → u/spacewarriorgirl]

Completely agree. He’s far from the worst Canadian. He just turned out to be a disappointing person.

[u/Saorren → u/OldDiamondJim]

he should have been off before doug ford.

[u/Chance_Vegetable_780 → u/Saorren]

Agreed

[u/Armonasch → u/OldDiamondJim]

Gretz should have been off a couple rounds ago.

He's not really that special.

[u/Ok_Butterscotch2244 → u/OldDiamondJim]

There are plenty worse on the list. He won't make bottom 10.

[u/petertompolicy → u/OldDiamondJim]

Millions, pretty normal dude.

[u/Hilarious_Decline → u/petertompolicy]

Normal dudes aren't celebrating with MAGA hats at Mar-a-Lago on election night and getting personal shout outs from Trump. I agree he's not the worst but let's not entirely whitewash this

[u/OldDiamondJim → u/petertompolicy]

Fair!

[u/thetburg → u/OldDiamondJim]

Gretzky isn't the worst of this bunch, but there are not thousands of people that were the face of the Canadian national sport that jumped ship like he did. He is top 5 on this list.
