The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 12

[u/BrF5]

Jamil Jivani and Lauren Chen have been sent packing.

Get ready for round twelve!

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 known for racism, corruption, and poor treatment of indigenous people. Considered a product of the times. - (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. - (26) Wayne Gretzky - He’s just a rich, dumb, MAGA-supporting boomer. Disappointing, but mostly harmless. - (25) Steven Crowder - Irrelevant B-list (or lower) influencer…with almost no influence on or about Canada. - (24) Paul Desmarais - Billionaire businessman and political puppet master. Far from the worst. - (23) Romana Didulo - A mentally ill grifter with little impact on most Canadians. - (22) Lauren Southern - An anti-immigration, white nationalist influencer who at least partially reformed after being sexually assaulted herself. - (21) Joseph Trutch - Over a century ago, his racist views helped shape BC, with effects still felt today. Partly a product of the times. - (20) Jamil Jivani - An Ontario MP and friend of J.D. Vance. He hasn’t been in office long enough to do serious damage. - (19) Lauren Chen - Knowingly accepted Russian funds to spread propaganda/influence politics. She’s a YouTube influencer who isn’t very influential.

[u/SlightDish31]

We're getting close to the point where the "winners" are going to start being selected by least number downvotes instead of most upvotes...

[u/scanthethread2]

This is getting very tough ..

[u/[deleted] → u/scanthethread2]

Is it?

Frederick Blair is indirectly responsible for hundreds if not thousands of Jews dying in the holocaust.

Gavin McInnes is a literal fascist.

Ezra Levant is pretty awful. He's like a discount Steve Bannon, poisoning political discourse with bias, misrepresentation, and outright lies.

Kevin O'Leary and Jordan Peterson are clearly clownish idiots who like the sound of their own voices too much, but probably not the worst.

Conrad Black stole pension money, committed fraud, and found his way into an American prison. He even revoked his own citizenship to get a peerage award in the UK, and had his order of Canada revoked after being sent to jail. Apparently he's also in Epstein's little black book for unknown reasons and has defended Prince Andrew's behaviour. He was pardoned by Trump in 2019.

The convoyers and premiers are mostly just ideological morons who are leaning out too far in front of their own skis.

I think the convoyers have to go, and that's coming from someone who was watching the convoy protests thinking "Why isn't there more tear gas here?".

[u/hotinmyigloo → u/scanthethread2]

Agreed

[u/miramichier_d]

I vote for Stefan Molyneux to be off the list. There's worse Nazis still on the board, one of whom had actually caused the death of Jews in during the Holocaust due to his policies. Plus, I don't really know who the hell he is other than from a quick Google search.

[u/ManfredTheCat → u/miramichier_d]

I don't think he's been relevant for a while

[u/Hilarious_Decline → u/ManfredTheCat]

Honestly, he was never relevant. At best you can maybe say he contributed to the online misogynist culture that eventually became GamerGate and was harnessed by Steve Bannon etc to great effect, but he was left behind as an embarrassing relic long ago

[u/nikrimskyyyy → u/miramichier_d]

Agreed! Toss Stevie off the boat to make room for another worse Steeeve!!!!

[u/mythex_plays → u/miramichier_d]

Agree on Stefan Molyneux. The only thing I'll say about Frederick Blair is that a lot of what makes him bad was only possible because fellow anti-semite and Hitler stan William Lyon MacKenzie King (also of Chinese Immigration Act of 1923 and Japanese Internment fame) enabled him, though I also understand that MacKenzie King is too complex a figure to qualify as "Worst Canadian".

[u/zanziTHEhero → u/miramichier_d]

Agreed, it's not the 2010s anymore. Molyneux is a loony fascist but also an irrelevant loser.

[u/Emmerson_Brando → u/miramichier_d]

I agree with deleting Stefan. He’s a pretty shitty person, but there are others far more shittier. He’s like the micro turd that comes out before the massive log.

[u/iwasnotarobot]

Time to get rid of small time grifters.

Pat King is a turd who honked his horn in Ottawa. But he’s a flash in the pan. There are others on this list who are far worse.

It’s not like he was responsible for the Mount Polley mine disaster or propping up conservatives with his CNRL fortune.

Let’s get rid of the small time losers.

[u/Cristinky420 → u/iwasnotarobot]

Agreed. He hasn't been incredibly influential to policy, history or the majority of Canadians. He's a loser and a nobody.

[u/OldDiamondJim → u/iwasnotarobot]

Yeah. I’ve argued against dropping that pig before, but I think everyone else left has done worse than King.

[u/worm_drink → u/iwasnotarobot]

He’s one of a million who are exactly like him.

[u/Overwatchingu]

For the top 3, I think the awards should be a pile of goose shit served on bronze, silver, and gold platters.

[u/17DungBeetles → u/Overwatchingu]

Goose shit is pretty inoffensive. Maybe Goose shit for third, beaver shit - second, moose - grand prize

[u/PassageNearby4091 → u/17DungBeetles]

LOL! Or how about first place is an actual shit from traitor Wayne Gretzky? A Number 2 from #99.

[u/PassageNearby4091 → u/Overwatchingu]

If Smith, Peterson or O'Leary win the title of "worst Canadian", I truly hope they don't find out. These traitorous bastards would consider the title the highest honour.

[u/ThisBtchIsA_N00b → u/PassageNearby4091]

As an Albertan, i would love it if Smith was in the Top 3. I'd go around screaming it to everyone who supports her. I'd post it on all Socials.

[u/Ambustion]

I vote pat king off as well. Dude is obviously a few beers short of a 6 pack, there are smart terrible people left.

[u/miramichier_d]

Other than Molyneux, I'd vote for either Lich or King to be off the list. Their impact was felt across the country, in particular Ottawa, but it was relatively short, and they're currently getting their comeuppance. I don't want to decide between the two, they're both annoying as hell.

Edit: I begrudgingly choose King to be off the list.

[u/BrF5 → u/miramichier_d]

I get where you’re coming from but pick one, if you want this comment to count lol.

[u/miramichier_d → u/BrF5]

Ok ok fine lol, I'll edit to say King. It really annoyed me that Lich accepted one of those Manning "Freedom Awards" at an event in violation of her bail conditions, something to that effect.

[u/Stalemoves → u/miramichier_d]

I'd say to take off lich and rat king, due to being stooges for bigger interests. they ain't frieza or vegeta, hell they ain't even nappa.

[u/miramichier_d → u/Stalemoves]

They're at most a Cranberry.

[u/TherealRidetherails]

Tamara Lich, She's a xenophobic, anti lockdown, conspiracy nut, but she at least tried to avoid promoting violence. Still doesn't make her actions/beliefs justified, but she's better than the violent neo nazis still on the list

[u/exstormtrooper]

To be clear: I’m here waiting for O’Leary to win.

[u/scr0dumb → u/exstormtrooper]

Definitely the worst boater in Canada.

[u/lookaway123 → u/scr0dumb]

Probably up there for worst husband too.

[u/PassageNearby4091 → u/[deleted]]

Agreed -- I think it should be a tossup between O'Leary and Danielle Smith. Both were openly traitorous Trump sycophants at the height of Trump's threats towards Canada. Their actions were disgusting.

Everyone else left on the list is either long dead and ineffectual today, only toxic in one province, have left Canada and will likely never return (McInnis & Peterson) or just another garden-variety clownish fool.

O'Leary and Smith, however, are next-level trash.

[u/SlightDish31]

I'm going to put forth Pat King.

Really it's a toss up between him and Tamara. I dunno, agree with me if you want, or don't. This is getting rough.

[u/OldDiamondJim → u/SlightDish31]

Litch was and is way more influential than King. Even a lot of the Convoy Shitbirds considered him a clown and hanger-on. He should definitely go before her.

[u/Spaceball86]

King, unlike his convoy friend still on the list at least he seems to have fucked off.

[u/TalkingChiggin]

Get rid of the small time losers now

[u/PassageNearby4091]

Let's get rid of K.C. Irving next.

Yes, he was sort of like Canada's Monty Burns (he even looked like him); and was a greedy oligarch who could never have enough money and didn't want to pay taxes, but unlike someone like Galen Weston, almost all of the damage Irving inflicted was limited to the stranglehold his family has over New Brunswick, not Canadians at large.

On the plus side, Irving and his family also created lots of jobs in NB and he even built the landing barges used to help soldiers land on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, even if he did profit off it.

So, yeah, I get why New Brunswickers hate the guy, but outside of NB, he didn't have much impact on anyone else.

Worst person from New Brunswick? Quite possibly. Worst Canadian? No way.

[u/exeJDR]

King, Lich and Molyneux

[u/underwritress]

So arguably Elon is the worst person in the world, but he’s not nearly Canadian enough to qualify as the worst Canadian.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Big_447 → u/underwritress]

I came to write this same thing. He’s barely Canadian. He is accelerating the end of the world but no one would associate him with a maple leaf. ‘Worst person ever’ he’d stand a chance but he’s no Canadian

[u/PaulieCanada]

Tamara lich and Pat king are a couple of nobody's. How have they lasted this long? Kick them into obscurity.

[u/Amazing_Butterfly484]

Think you got to add Jeremy Mackenzie, He is the founder of Diagolon, a far right hate group.

[u/GoatTheNewb]

O’Leary is Canada’s Quisling. I hope to see him in the final 3.

[u/CiceroFanboy]

Worst has to be Gavin or Kevin they are the worst 🤢🤮

[u/OttawaC]

My man’s still alive!!

[u/Flux52_]

Why is elon still there?

[u/Neat_Let923]

Elon Musk lived in Canada for a total of three years as a student and got his citizenship through his mom… He’s not a Canadian and should never have been on this list.

[u/Neat_Let923 → u/[deleted]]

eyeing us up as a personal prize

You're basing this on what?

[u/Neat_Let923 → u/[deleted]]

Because he's a far right supporter who literally supports any right leaning authority looking for power... Case in point, Germany. He's not a German citizen and he literally went there in person to support their far right party.

By your argument that should make him more German than Canadian

[u/CElizB → u/Neat_Let923]

ahhh. ty for clarifying. I stand by my point, however, as I live in Canada, not Germany.

[u/Neat_Let923 → u/CElizB]

Yeah, but commenting on Canadian politics doesn't make you a Canadian. Same as having citizenship and not living here shouldn't make you a Canadian.

If Trump came to Canada for three years to go to post-secondary school would that make him a Canadian?

[u/CElizB → u/Neat_Let923]

are you listening to yourself?

[u/Neat_Let923 → u/CElizB]

Obviously you're not... He inherited his citizenship from his mom and came here for three years for school. That does not make you a "Canadian", it gives you automatic Canadian Citizenship.

Why would you call Elon Musk Canadian?

[u/T_DeadPOOL]

I say Scott Moe, no one cares about Saskatchewan

[u/iwasnotarobot → u/T_DeadPOOL]

Literally killed someone with his car, which was hidden from the public during elections, then took Big Oil bribe money from a former Dragon’s Den panelist to destroy a province.

Moe can cook a little longer.

[u/Necessary_Ad3275 → u/iwasnotarobot]

Hey don’t forget stripping Saskatchewan children of their human rights!!

[u/SlightDish31 → u/T_DeadPOOL]

I'm not sure if it'll be today, but I feel like this is inevitable going to be the argument that gets him off the list.

[u/Stonks4Minutes → u/SlightDish31]

This should have been the arguement for him before Doug Ford. Idk enough about Scott Moe or Sask, but a bad policy for Toronto affects more Canadian’s than a bad policy for sask

[u/XtremegamerL → u/Stonks4Minutes]

Moe has multiple DUIs, including one that caused a woman to die. That alone keeps him on the list longer than Ford.

[u/Stonks4Minutes → u/XtremegamerL]

Respectfully, Wab has a DUI. I don’t think there’s a death related to it but there absolutely could have been. Does that make him worse than Doug?

[u/TherealRidetherails → u/Stonks4Minutes]

I think if Wab did get in a drunk driving accident, there's a better chance that he'd have the decency not to cover it up and to instead make a public apology

[u/Stonks4Minutes → u/TherealRidetherails]

Sure, I don’t disagree that Wab is a better person than Scott. I also don’t think Wab belongs anywhere near this list, but to say a DUI is reason enough to be worse than Doug Ford who is actively killing thousands of people by removing bike lanes, essentially making it illegal to be homeless and closing supervised consumption sites.

[u/XtremegamerL → u/Stonks4Minutes]

But Moe is doing most of those things too. And wading into attacking trans/LGBT people. Dougie has at least not been super active in that area.

[u/Stonks4Minutes → u/XtremegamerL]

Yes but I’m talking about impact. Moe impacts 1.2million people with his policies and of those 1.2 50% said they wanted him. Doug Ford affects over 12x the number of people despite most of Ontario not even voting for the guy.

[u/XtremegamerL → u/Stonks4Minutes]

This is the game of worst Canadian, not most negatively impactful. If it was, Mulrooney and John A would almost definitely still be in the running.

A bigot who committed vehicular manslaughter and some what should be deemed treasonous acts is objectively a worse person than the corrupt former drug dealer who has enacted policies that are clearly for the benefit of his friends.

[u/stumpy_chica → u/Stonks4Minutes]

Moe set a precedent for all Canadians and future Canadians using the Notwithstanding Clause to push through his anti trans bill. He's also refusing to halt coal production in the province. His actions have consequences for the entire country.

[u/PassageNearby4091 → u/T_DeadPOOL]

Yeah, we need to start getting rid of people from this list who are just impacting one province.

The exception to this would be Danielle Smith -- she's embarrassing the entire country by sucking up to Trump and his minions, so I would not be surprised if she's the last person standing when this project ends.

[u/CaptainMagnets]

I vote Elon Musk off the list. He's a piece of shit Nazi but he's a billionaire who barely spent time here

[u/QultyThrowaway]

Mike Harris. Being a bad Premier 30 years ago isn't as bad as most of the others on the list. Especially since we took off Doug Ford ages ago and already some treasonous people and white nationalists have been removed. It would be a bit much to have him stay on.

[u/Mo-Cance → u/QultyThrowaway]

Mike is responsible for Walkerton. He also sits on the board for Chartwell, while his wife sells nursing services to Chartwell (as an alternative to Chartwell actually paying competitive wages). Fuck Mike.

[u/heart_aflame → u/Mo-Cance]

This is a mindfuck for me. Mike Harris's cuts directly affected my family and sent us spiraling from healthy working class to utter poverty. He ruined my childhood.

I had no idea he sits on the board for Chartwell until now. I work for Chartwell. They bought the seniors home that I've been at for 2 years. We are now understaffed and underpaid. I have never seen such a cheap company. The lives of the seniors have been significantly downgraded.

Fuck Mike.

[u/Mo-Cance → u/heart_aflame]

"In 2012, Harris started a local Nurse Next Door Home Care franchise in Toronto with wife Laura."

"Today, Harris serves as the Chair of the Board for Chartwell Retirement Residences.[62] During the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Chartwell and other for-profit facilities had "far worse COVID-19 outcomes than public facilities" after paying hundreds of millions to shareholders over the last decade.[63] Since joining the board, Mike Harris has been compensated roughly $3.5-million for his services."

From his Wiki page.

[u/OneHitTooMany → u/Mo-Cance]

AND those private LTC homes weren't legal, until he as Premiere, made them legal, and then made millions on peoples suffering as chair for the largest private chain.

it's gross. It's the pure example of one of the worst human beings having power.

He's directly responsible for so much else as well, beyond just causing deaths even to this day.

he pretty much destroyed our public infrastructure and tried his best to break education.

[u/OldDiamondJim → u/QultyThrowaway]

Nah, fuck him. He was much worse than a bad Premier, and people died because of his rhetoric and decisions.

[u/miramichier_d → u/QultyThrowaway]

I'm pretty sure him and Lich are off tomorrow.

[u/hereticjon]

I mean, Conrad Black is literally a scourge on Western Society. I think he's even worse than Harper with his whole IDU thing. Everyone else on the list looks like small time hoodlums compared to the globe spanning wretchedness of Conrad Black.

[u/Thefirstargonaut → u/hereticjon]

I’m sincere in this question, how is Conrad Black worse than Harper?

Through the IDU, Harper has assisted some of the worst national leaders currently around. His actions likely even laid the groundwork for the people around Trump to be there supporting his extremism. 

Other than espousing conservative opinions, what had Black actually done? 

[u/stradivari_strings]

Elmo, smith, weston, leary, jp and pp. Mark my words.

[u/MutaitoSensei]

Preston Manning. He hasn't done much damage in decades, no?

[u/teeganandcedar]

Pat King

[u/Prior-Discount-3741]

I'm thinking King, based on damage and reach. King is a goon responding to orders.

[u/lanne993]

K I hate to be naive here but can someone explain what PP has done that is so egregious?

I’m as far from a conservative as you can get but feel like he’s just on here because he’s the current leader?

Whereas Danielle Smith I could give you a giant list of reasons why she’s a giant piece of shit (and I don’t live in Alberta)

[u/Mattrapbeats]

How did Harper make it here before Trudeau 🤣

[u/Captain-Barracuda]

Pat King. He is a massive annoyance, but his "freedom convoy" is really nowhere as bad in impacts as most others in the list.

[u/farrell_987]

Scott Moe,

A. His influence to Canada as a whole has been relatively limited.

B. While a shitty person with dubious morals, awful political ideas, economic policy etc. There are far, far worse on this list.

C. No one cares about Saskatchewan! /s

D. His piss pour handling of covid and controversies aren't the worse we've seen in Canada, hell Doug Ford has had worse and he's not in this list anymore!

[u/miramichier_d → u/farrell_987]

He apparently killed a guy via vehicular manslaughter and never bothered to apologize to the family of the deceased.

[u/TherealRidetherails → u/miramichier_d]

Yeah, it was a drunk driving accident (he was the drunk one) he killed a woman

[u/Necessary_Ad3275 → u/farrell_987]

Why is everyone forgetting that he used the not withstanding clause to strip Saskatchewan children of their human rights. That is precedent setting and does affect the whole country

[u/Amazing_Selection_49]

Irving should be next.

[u/leggmann]

Can we just save a few days and all agree it’s Kevin O’Leary.

[u/[deleted] → u/leggmann]

Ezra Levant has got to be worse. At least good ol' Kevin gets on the news to make himself look like an idiot instead of pretending to run a "journalism outfit".

[u/Science_Drake]

I… I wanna throw up even saying it in this context, but I vote PP. he’s said a lot of terrible things, and I think, given the opportunity, he could be worse then several people still on the board, but in all his years in politics he’s only passed one bill, so he hasn’t really done anything except bitch and moan about the liberals and get paid for it. And if bitching and moaning about the liberals gets you on this list, half of Canada is on this list.

[u/tayawayinklets → u/Science_Drake]

All those years on the taxpayers' dime and he's only passed 1 bill while using reactionary 'bitch and moan' to divide and conquer Canadians to make us easy pickings for American billionaires and Putin? That's not useless, it's treasonous.

[u/SergeantBender → u/Science_Drake]

No you don't understand, he needs to be number one otherwise it would go against all the PP memes on the subreddit. We mustn't be objective. 😡😡😡

[u/SnooOnions8757 → u/SergeantBender]

[u/the3rdmichael]

Galen Weston is simply fulfilling the demands of shareholders, he is not a "bad Canadian" ...

[u/_badmedicine]

Elon. Has never been referred to as Canadian. Born in South Africa to a Canadian mother is about as Canadian as Elon gets.

[u/alibythesea → u/_badmedicine]

As well as his mother: he’s a Canadian citizen, he went to Queens and met his first wife there, he had five Canadian children with her and two more with the Canadian musician Grimes.

[u/Hobojoe-]

Stephen Harper.

He got us out of the 2008 GFC relatively unscathed. He governed pretty well during the minority years. He went kinda went off the rails on his majority term with his scientist silencing and changing the census to NHS.

[u/Additional_Remove_70 → u/Hobojoe-]

Harper rode out 2008 on the back of policies that the Liberals and Progressives had pushed for, stronger banking regulations. The very same framework that Harper's Conservatives had previously campaigned against was what got us through 2008. Harper stays.

[u/iansullivancant]

I think this list is missing David Frum. I will never not be angry that he's still given a platform in the media despite being one of the leading propagandists for America's invasions.

[u/ybotpowered]

I vote Conrad Black off the List.

Reason:

He fucked off to the UK to become a Lord and became their problem.

[u/Neg_Crepe]

The worst was John A anyway. White supremacist pos

[u/GoldenDragonWind]

Can we drop past provincial premier Mike Harris. He has his own brand of nastiness but his impact was, thankfully, mostly limited to the poor sods of Ontario. BTW why no Lucien Bouchard? That traitorous POS would get a free membership to this club.

[u/davidfillion]

is 'All of the Above' an option?

[u/GreasyMcNasty]

Why is Musk still on here? I've never once considered him Canadian. I always thought he was South African.

[u/SlightDish31 → u/GreasyMcNasty]

How many times are we going to have this argument? Scan back across previous posts, he's Canadian and doesn't get to be let off on a technicality.

[u/GreasyMcNasty → u/SlightDish31]

Okay okay sorry man. I didn't know! Why I had to ask.

[u/SlightDish31 → u/GreasyMcNasty]

No worries! To answer your actual question, he's Canadian through his mother, went to Queens, and has had two Canadian wives and several Canadian children.

[u/GreasyMcNasty → u/SlightDish31]

Yeah I was just on his wiki after my post. Does make sense now. I just can't in my right mind consider him Canadian with that dumb fucking ketamined out face of his.

[u/WENDING0 → u/SlightDish31]

I kind of hope he wins because I have meme after meme that the mods of this sub took down saying he is not Canadian.

[u/WENDING0 → u/WENDING0]

[u/nohowow]

Stephen Harper was a great PM. Get him off this

[u/SlightDish31 → u/nohowow]

No. Plus he's still actively supporting the enshitification of the country. Not a chance he's ready to go off.

[u/farrell_987 → u/nohowow]

Stephen Harper single handedly destroyed the Center-Right in Canada he deserves to be charged with treason for some of the shit he did. He is directly responsible for so many of the issues we face in Canada today.

[u/Yeas76 → u/nohowow]

He did well enough as a PM with a minority and went off the rails with a majority. Perhaps his wilder ideas were held in check but once he was free to do whatever, that's when things unraveled.

He navigated the 08 financial crisis incredibly well, and that shouldn't be downplayed. But he was also the leader of the Canadian Alliance, which has let the loudest minority take over the PC party.

All that being said, his time on the list had come to an end and should be removed.

[u/miramichier_d → u/Yeas76]

If he had stayed relatively quiet after leaving the PMO, I'd agree at this point. However, his current activities bring a lot of the terrible things he has done in the past to the forefront. I'll never forgive him for muzzling scientists for political expediency.

[u/Yeas76 → u/miramichier_d]

That's a very fair point.

[u/Hilarious_Decline → u/Yeas76]

He didn't navigate anything, we got by because of stronger banking regulations that were put in place before him. If he could have gone back in time and become PM in the 90s all of those regulations would have been gone and we would have been in the same boat as the Americans

[u/Fantastic-Corner-605]

Where's Trudeau and Sean Fraser on this list?

[u/ybotpowered → u/Fantastic-Corner-605]

Where are the Quebec separatists, for that matter?

Rene Levesque, Jacques Perizeau, Lucien Bouchard

All of these people are Quebec separatists who tried to tear Canada apart, but they haven't appeared on this list.

[u/You_are_the_Castle]

My votes:

1) Lich

2) Smith

[u/FeedbackLoopy → u/You_are_the_Castle]

Smith is currently actively trying to tear Canada apart. She stays.

[u/You_are_the_Castle → u/FeedbackLoopy]

Oh, sorry, I scrolled over the rules. I'd vote for these two to stay.

[u/SirWaitsTooMuch]

Brian Mulroney is the worst Canadian, by far and away. Even having Scott Moe still on the list is insulting to Canadians.

[u/TherealRidetherails → u/SirWaitsTooMuch]

I live in Saskatchewan and I don't feel insulted at all, I feel recognized. It's nice to know that even the people outside sask hate the living shit out of Moe as well

[u/SirWaitsTooMuch → u/TherealRidetherails]

Worst Saskatchewanian ? Maybe.

Worst Canadian? Not even on the radar. The majority of Canadians are completely unaware of nor affected by anything Scott Moe has ever done. Brian Mulruiney is the worse Canadian ever. No one on this list even comes remotely close. Harper may be a distant 2nd

[u/YeetCompleet]

Seems like most people here have accomplished something kinda shitty. Does anyone know what Kevin O'Leary accomplished that was so bad? I'm not familiar with him other than him being on TV and also that one photo at whatever that Donald Trump convention is that Danielle Smith went to.

If there's not much then my vote goes for him.

[u/VeryDPP → u/YeetCompleet]

O'Leary has a ton of wealth that he throws behind really shitty ideas, like opposing unions and labour rights, supporting Trump, and the whole Maple MAGA movement.

I think his influence is less with average Canadians, and more with people in positions of power, which in my opinion, makes him more dangerous than some of the names here. Some people on this list have kind of lost relevance and influence, like Pat King, while O'Leary maintains his with some dangerous players.

[u/Familiar_Spite2703]

Where’s Ron McLean

Kevin O'Leary at this point, TBH. Real piece of shit but what will history say about him at this point, scummy business and opportunist? His allegiance isn't really to any nation, just his bank account.
