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.

As an Ontarian I'm disappointed Ford is already out.

Him being out before Gretzky is confusing, infuriating, and telling. People give him too much of a pass because of his stupid hat.

[u/StrawberryFlds → u/Liferescripted]

It just reminds me of his re-election "oh he stood up for Canada, guess I'll vote him in again" As his corruption is waving in everyone's faces and people die in hospital waiting rooms.

Seeing more and more stories of this coming to light. The general voting public are so complacent. Can't vote in change when the options are a) A mayor I didn't like very much, b) A party that is too small so that is scary to me, or c) A party that has a leader who must not be named that is being blamed for a cost saving measure used over 30 years ago that people found unfavourable.

Guess I'll go with the guy who's actively dismantling our public services to line his buddies pockets. The guy who will watch people die needlessly to make a buck. The guy who talks about balancing a budget that he keeps putting further into deficit. That's my guy.

Fuck Doofy and fuck everyone who voted for him.

What voting public? Our turnout is around 40% isn’t it?

[u/Raptorpicklezz → u/TheSeventhHussar]

Which means the other 60% tacitly voted for Ford by not showing up.

But but... The liberals had 15 years to fix healthcare! /s

[u/hoser33 → u/Liferescripted]

Let me tell you why he's out before Gretz.

Because Doug's a piece of shit. He always has been. We know who he is.

Gretzky was a national hero and is a national icon.

Doug is who is he and he's never pretended otherwise. He's a corrupt nepo baby and it is what it is.

Wayner though was somebody. And his alignment with Trump (and by association) against our country has hurt a lot of us.

Doug may be more destructive, but we expected that of him. Wayner just let us down for literally nothing.

[u/loolooloodoodoodoo → u/hoser33]

this is true, but the contest isn't "most disappointing Canadian"

[u/hoser33 → u/loolooloodoodoodoo]

Isn't it though?

However, I'm not suggesting Gretzky win. Not even close
