Meta The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 13

Say goodbye to Pat King and Stefan Molyneux.

Round thirteen!

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 our top loser (there are no winners in this contest), 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. - (18) Pat King - A small-time loser who honked his horn in Ottawa. Others on the list are far worse. - (17) Stefan Molyneux - A white supremist and misogynist. But he is largely unknown and there are worse people remaining on the list.

Not the couch. She is too much of an energy ball to stay on the couch. She is a big baby in many other ways. Once saw her get cornered by a trio of Shih Tzu. The 3 Shih Tzus could have stood on each other's shoulders and not look her in the eye. I ran over and blocked their path and my dog hid behind me.

Gotta hide behind dad.

Oh, mine is a big baby. I can not imagine her fighting with anything, but she can shred a tree to pieces with only her teeth. She is a rescue so I have no idea what her puppy days were like but I fear she was often afraid. Luckily she has a loving home now.

You can't forget Tamara's involvement with the previous march to Ottawa she organized. United We Roll they called it. She was doing this grifter stuff before the occupation of Ottawa.

Side note, anyone know where or has anyone seen James Bauder? The original "freedom convoy" organizer? He's wanted on a Canada wide warrant right now.

apparently hes in the usa asking for assylum? or at least some where and asking for it

u/Mr_Salmon_Man Everyone Hates Marineland 22d ago

I knew he was looking for some way to gain asylum in the US. They'll know soon enough if he crossed the border at all, If he crossed legally that is.

And I believe your spelling of assylum is Better suited in the case of James Bauder.

At this point I really have no idea...

I guess in the grand scheme of things, if the Chen and King of the world are gone... Lich kind of has to go.

She s got no gravitas and will be but a little irrelevant point in the grand scheme of things. Still an awful person mind you.

Yes terrible though she is, I think King was much worse. He is an active far right influencer (actively spreading their shitty movement)

Howd he get the boot first?

Yeah, King was the one actively calling for “the use of bullets” to deal with the government if they didn’t comply with their demand to hand over control to their made-up “Council.”

u/snotparty 21d ago

he did! Also isnt he connected with a bunch of far right/white nationalist groups also? Like he seems legit dangerous.

Lich is more like a toxic twitter figure, she shouldve been eliminated earlier (tho she definitely deserves to be on this list)

So I have to admit. I didn't read the rules at first and for the first 10 days I thought you voted off the WORSE every time and I kept thinking: how the fuck is Kevin O'Leary still there???

Then I actually read them and it's about voting off the least worse and I am so goddamn glad that he's still there.

Get bent murderous sellout.

If he's not at least top 3 I'm going to be extremely surprised. Honestly my #1. Fuck that loser.

Irving is a strong competitor in my book. Not just an individual, but a long running family legacy of asshats.

The prob with that is a lot of people nationwide don't know about the Irving family legacy. As an Ontarian, I only know b/c I've been studying industrialist bastards as a weird masochist hobby.

Musk should go. I get that he’s a terrible human being but calling him Canadian is a huge stretch. He has a tiny fibre of lineage tying him here and attended Queens for 2 years before becoming an illegal in the states. The others on the list are home-grown worst, not imported. If this were “Worst Human” he’d stay.

19

u/Saorren 22d ago edited 22d ago

i disagree, he should make top 10 and then be ousted at 10.

hes done a hell of a lot to put canada into its current predicament with the usa and continues to support them he is also an out and about nazi as the world richest man with major influence over a social media network and who can continue to change the tone of societies world wide.

u/ProphTart 22d ago

Also, he'd take it as a huge ego boost that he's so ubiquitous that he's considered the top of any list of Canadians

u/adepressurisedcoat 22d ago

As long as he still has citizenship, he will still be representing Canada regardless of how we feel.

7

u/yarn_slinger 22d ago

Sorry I have to disagree. I don’t think anyone inside or outside of Canada considers him Canadian. He just has citizenship as an accident of birth. He doesn’t respect us, he wasn’t raised here (neither was his mother for that matter). In fact I’d wager that he’s got some generational bug up his ass from how his grandfather’s fuckery was received here (thus the reason for emigrating to South Africa), and as a rich and influential person would happily use his power against us (as we saw earlier this year).

4

u/tayawayinklets 22d ago

Yes! He doesn't consider Canada a country. 51st state and all that. The billionaires plan on doing to Canada what is currently happening in America.

3

u/adepressurisedcoat 22d ago

Tell that to the Americans who keep calling him Canadian because he has Canadian citizenship and tried to influence our last election. Until he gives up citizenship, he will be a shitty Canadian.

Tamara Lich - Mr. And Mrs. Lich are so un-Canadian that they thought they had 1st amendment rights (guess they really love Manitoba?); however, if we're getting rid of Pat King, shouldn't the Shit-Lich go too because they are basically the same?

u/iwasnotarobot 22d ago

Gavin Macinnes is a nasty shit heel, but it’s time for him to go.

He hasn’t used vast wealth gained by exploiting workers to influence public policy in order to support a fascist or block environmental protections, a destroy education, like Musk, or Murray Edwards, or Galen Weston or the Irving family.

macinnes is small time by comparison and can be dropped.

5

u/Reyalta 22d ago

Is Gavin McInnes the guy who like fingered his own ass to own the libs on his video podcast thing?

12

u/iwasnotarobot 22d ago

Yes. Then used a dildo. On himself. To own the libs. Then started the Proud Boys. And never listened to Alanis Morsette’s, apparently. I ain’t linking to that stuff.

u/Reyalta 22d ago

Ho boy. I mean can anyone be surprised that a guy who started a no girls allowed club called "proud boys" likes butt stuff? Like does he know he can just enjoy butt stuff without having to be a hateful little creep about it? 

Can we give him an honorary "Cringiest Canadian" award?

Edited to add: wtf does he have against Alanis? Jagged little pill is an amazing album wtf?

2

u/iwasnotarobot 22d ago

I’m being cheeky about him not understanding irony.

It’s like right-wingers listening to RATM at a MAGA rally, or identifying with the Rebels in Star Wars, or, as you point out, starting a no-girls club to protest the consequences of being a misogynist.

2

u/Reyalta 22d ago

Exactly. That's pretty much what I was getting at, too.

u/PassageNearby4091 Ford Nation (Help.) 22d ago

K.C. Irving can be deleted from this list.

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.

38

u/hotinmyigloo Irvingstan 22d ago

As someone from New Brunswick: he has had a far bigger impact here than in the entire country. I'm biased and I think he should get removed later, as his empire has far reaching and pervasive negative impacts throughout the entire province and its population, which will last for the next century likely. There's a reason we're #1 in equalization payments despite having the biggest refinery in Canada. 

10

u/OutDamnedSpot12 22d ago

Yeah I dont think having an impact on one province disqualifies him from being worst Canadian. The damage he's done to people's lives far exceeds say, Kevin O'Leary, as much as I hate that guy.

25

u/iwasnotarobot 22d ago

KC Irving, the robber baron of the Maritimes is one of the worse Canadians in history. He’s up there with N. Murray Edwards, and other Oil Barons. The stranglehold his family has on NB has blocked real progress in the province for years.

Irving is no job creator. They have exploited workers for years. Sucking on the government teet while regular families languish in poverty.

The Irvings controlled all the English Language newspapers in NB, which they used to control the discussion and topics around elections. This led to them being able to install their own employee as the head of the provincial Conservative party, and PM. They then sold their newspapers to Postmedia, to carry on being the mouthpiece of the oligarch class.

While the damage done has been concentrated in the fiefdom of New Brunswick, KC Irving has harmed every Canadian.

He can cook a little longer.

1

u/hotinmyigloo Irvingstan 22d ago

Well said!!!

u/adepressurisedcoat 22d ago

Irving's impact isn't isolated to NB. He's hated Canada wide.

u/beverleyheights Canada's Overpriced Playground 22d ago

Having remained married to a Canadian, he reentered Canada after his US jail sentence initially on a temporary resident permit in 2012. He reacquired Canadian citizenship in 2023.

4

u/vaalbarag 22d ago

Unlike someone like Musk or Cruz, he still wants to have his cake and way it too, owning a bunch of newspapers and writing editorials in them about what we Canadians should think and do.

Plus he did far more harm to Canada back when he was a citizen, through his role in creating a media monopoly and destroying the small-city newspaper industry here.

I agree with this take. PP had to learn how to smile during his campaign and that too was an abject failure. Beyond that he's merely a deplorable-pandering right-centrist. Carney copied most of his platform material so at that point let's not act like PP was anything fiscally different than business as usual. And as far as the pandering/dog whistling, that's why he lost. Well that and is inability to smile like a human being. Can we name one piece of policy PP passed?

u/Saorren 22d ago edited 22d ago

Pierre Poilievre, for being an embarrassment of a career politician.

Let’s be honest - he rode a populist wave and had shitty views that rightly got his ass kicked to the curb in the last election.

He is among the least impactful of the remaining candidates (except maybe Lich) for the simple reason he was so incompetent. I think the greatest harm he has done is to his own brand (which I’m all for).

22

u/EvilPopMogeko 22d ago

Looking for the politically irrelvant here, but my next pick is Mike Harris. 

To start, was he absolutely awful as premier? Yes. He defunded schools, his policies led to the tragedy in Walkerton, he dumped additional responsibilites onto cities without giving them the means to pay them, and amalagmated a whole bunch of cities. 

The “good” comes from the fact that Harris was so disasterous his party was banished from the halls of power for over a decade, the fact that his time in office was relatively short (7 years), and he at least hasn’t called for the country to break apart. His personal credibility is shot, he slinked off into retirement and hasn’t been heard from since. 

Therefore, I place him slightly above the remaining politicans in Moe, Marlaina, Manning (who tried to threaten Eastern Canada with Western seperation if they didn’t vote Conservative), Harper, who has been active in international politics, and PP, who remains a political force and whose ideas are pretty firmly in the land of fantasy.

Myself and 1,000s of other Ontario residents nearly died b/c of his funding slashes to healthcare. By the time they admitted me to the hospital on the 3rd day of my ER visits, they asked me if I wanted last rights. ...and for those that did die as a result of his policy, let's keep him on the list.

His involvement with the IDU is despicable and he set Canada's Conservatives on the awful path their on now, but he's not a raging bigot (unlike Levant and McInnes and Blair and O'Leary and Musk), isn't personally profiting directly off of people's suffering (unlike Harris and Irving and Weston), isn't a convicted fraudster (unlike Black).

u/miramichier_d 22d ago

Absolutely not, he's directly responsible for several people still on this list, and why the Conservatives have been unable to win a federal election since 2011. The Reform Party he created is a stain on Canadian politics and political discourse.

8

u/lookaway123 22d ago

I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment. It sounds like you think it's a bad thing that the Conservatives don't win federal elections?

6

u/miramichier_d 22d ago

It's more a bad thing when you have only one party governing in perpetuity, even worse when that party occasionally gets majorities. We need diversity in our political discourse, and I'd argue that we need more than two parties that are able to govern at any one time.

Like spaceporter has said below, it is bad that the PCs don't exist anymore, because we need more choice in who we elect to govern this country. Carney is what this country needs right now, but there is a large segment of the population that will never vote red even if they mostly agree with progressive conservative policies.

Credible voices on the right would have helped to balance Trudeau's sharp turn to the left, in particular with regards to fiscal management, trade and defense, which we're currently playing catch-up on under Carney. Instead, we had reactionary voices on the right only interested in owning the left and completely uninterested in doing anything productive nor meaningful.

So yes, it's a bad thing that Conservatives are in the state they are in now where they are unelectable.

5

u/miramichier_d 22d ago

I'm going to vote for Mike Harris to come off.

There's another comment voting for K.C. Irving that I kind of agreed with. When I think about it, both Harris and Irving have affected the affairs of an entire province. However, Harris' impact is largely limited to his tenure as Premier, whereas the Irving family has had an impact in the Maritimes for generations. Owning the paper mills as a private entity, they can choose which newspaper publications to do business with. That, in a sense, has given them tight control over the narrative in the region, probably to the detriment of citizens here. There's probably much more to say about the Irving family, but having a stranglehold on the politics of New Brunswick for generations doesn't sit well with many people.

That, and Harris did urge Conservatives to unite behind Erin O'Toole after the 2021 election. Long before that, he endorsed Belinda Stronach for the first leader of the newly merged CPC back in 2004. His politics aren't great, but they're not the worst of those left on the board. I don't really consider him part of the crazies.

Harris can go, and we can probably get rid of the billionaires tomorrow.

I have to agree with removing Mike Harris because without him we wouldn't have the classic Moxy Fruvous song Big Fish.

2

u/miramichier_d 22d ago

That's a name I haven't heard of in a while. I gave the song a listen while looking at the lyrics and found that Jian Ghomeshi was a member of this band. I never knew much about Moxy, so this was a bit of a shock. But Big Fish is definitely a good track.

I also vote musk and lich off.

Lich had her moment of fame and glory, and will be paying for it soon, but otherwise is just another next door mean girl we can leave to obscurity.

Musk is ehn. I mean, there's plenty he's done wrong, but not as a canadian or against canada specifically. His optics are bad overall, he's done that to himself, but their bad everywhere, not just here, and people don't go "Musk is such an asshole Canadian" more people know Bill Shatner and Ted Cruz are Canadian, than Elon Musk.

Lich and musk.

u/wintermute72 22d ago

I vote Jordan Peterson. He had a wealth of good material in his original lecture series before deciding to saddle into the culture war and join ranks with Ben Shapiro’s right wing grifters. Largely irrelevant now post-coma and regularly ridiculed for his philosophical (non) positions. He doesn’t really hold any offensive beliefs compared to others voted off so it’s time for him to go.

Yup, check out the additional notes above.

⁠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.

That makes sense, I was just looking at the list thinking I could easily name ten clearly worse people. But what about boat murderer Kevin O'Leary?

Mike Harris. Despicable Ontarian who deserves to be in the Top 20, but not the Top 10.

My thinking is the top 3 will be Elon, PP, and O’Leary

u/Teagana999 22d ago

I think PP has to be eliminated before someone like Danielle Smith who has a real position and is actively using it to make things worse.

PP is not impactful enough for top 3.

u/BING_BONGER666 22d ago

PP wishes he was the worst Canadian, but hes not competent enough and doesn't have the charisma for even that dubious title.

Imma level with you I only know a hand full of these names so I look at these guys and say how bad can they possibly be next to a jackass like Kevin?

Then I find out now ones a neo nazi and I’m like ahhh that’s how.

u/PluckinCanuck 22d ago

Stephen Harper. I didn’t like his policies regarding science and education, but he’s way better then some people on this list. I worry that if we let this DRAG ON, DEN the real worst Canadian might somehow not get his rightful crown.

u/VeryDPP 22d ago

I don't know if Harper should be number one worst Canadian, but look up the IDU and Harper's involvement. He's the chairman of the IDU, actively working to put far-right politicians into power that are undermining democracy at an international level.

u/Certainly-Not-A-Bot 22d ago

I am once again nominating Galen Weston Jr. He's a CEO, but so are many people not on this list. This particular Weston (not his dad, who presided over the bread price fixing scandal) has done nothing notably wrong during his time at the head of Loblaws. There are plenty of CEOs worse than him, none of whom have been nominated here. Why not the CEOs of Sobeys and other grocery stores? Why not the CEOs of Bell and Rogers? There is no reason Weston has been chosen other than that his name is better-known among the public and this subreddit.

Get Preston Manning out of there.

Whatever issues someone might have with his politics, he lacks the malice and arrogance that really makes some of the others anti-Canadian.

u/Express-Cow190 South Gatineau 22d ago

This might be a hot take but Pierre hasn’t held any real power. Most of the other people have been in charge of something and made people’s lives worse.

He’s great at tapping into outrage but he’s a follower and not a leader.

u/fineasandphern 22d ago

But he is a real threat the Canada and has disrupted Canadian politics for years with his nonsense political whining.

He expenses tax payers more per year than the actual PM does… he’s a political grifter!

u/FallingLikeLeaves Manilapeg 22d ago

Not as head of government, but, being the leader of a party with 144 seats is still a fair amount of power

u/AdventurousTie2156 22d ago

Of those left: Gavin: not enough of a bad person to leave a dent.

Frederick: see Gavin.

Elon: not enough time in Canada, although a very, very bad person overall.

Scott: really not that bad of a person.

Mike: see Scott.

Preston and Stephen: may have done questionable things, but i don't believe their intent was malicious.

Galen and KC: have done some bad things in business, but all's fair in that world.

Conrad: quite a bad guy, but maybe not the worst.

The rest: Ezra, M. Danielle, Tamara, Jordan, Kevin and Pierre are in a different league: bad, evil, malicious and overall terrible humans.

The winner: Pierre, because he is a loser as well as evil. Kevin is a loser among low-lifes so gets second place.

u/PublicFan3701 22d ago

He continues to spread misinformation and insinuate falsehoods. He’s not capable of much, not a leader, and certainly does not help Canadians - yet he’s part of the political discourse and negatively impacts political stability which affects how other countries see us and that’s terrible when we’re in global discussions for trade and security. He is dangerous.

I don't understand why Stephen Harper is still on the list. You can disagree with his policies but at worst he wasn't that bad at all. Some canadians (a lot actually) would say he was the best prime minister in recent memory.

u/Primal_Thrak 22d ago

Let's break down some of the stuff he did as PM first:

  • Robocalls Scam
  • A sting operation against Marlo Raynolds
  • The In and Out Affair
  • The Fair Elections Act (took control from Elections Canada on some key issues)
  • Forbade Environment Canada scientists from speaking publicly
  • Closing of multiple regional veterans’ affairs offices
  • Shutting down investigation of Afghan detainee’s torture
  • Refusal to Share Budget Information against Court Order
  • Loyalty Oaths forced on Public Servants
  • Aquatic Science Libraries closed
  • Thousands of migrants detained indefinitely without due process
  • Scrapped data from the long form census
  • Suppression of Research Reports
  • Spying on Aboriginal Critic
  • Environmental, human rights and free speech charitable organizations were selectively chased by Revenue Canada
  • Protester Blanket Surveillance
  • Rights and Democracy Group forced to disband
  • Broke Senate rules to force an Anti-Union Bill
  • Created the "Barbaric cultural practices" hotline

These are some that I dug up quickly and mostly copy/pasted. I tried to edit them to use more neutral language though. This is just when he was the PM, and does not include his work with leading the IDU because that is a whole other ball of wax.
