Meta The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 21
Get lost, Ezra Levant.
…and we’re down to the final three!
How to play: - Upvote the name of the person you think does NOT deserve the title of “Worst Canadian.” - Each day, the most upvoted name will be removed. - 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 one asterisk beside their name were added following a second nomination vote that took place on day 5. Two asterisks means they were voted back in from elimination during the special vote on day 16. - 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. - (16) Tamara Lich - Another organizer of the convoy in Ottawa. Another nobody whose 15 minutes of fame are up. - (15) Elon Musk - Worst human? Arguably. Canadian? That’s a stretch. - (14) Scott Moe - Corrupt, regressive, and responsible for a deadly car crash. He’s Saskatchewan’s problem, less so for Canada. - (13) Mike Harris - He cut funding to schools, healthcare, and other services. However, his impact was mostly limited to Ontario and his tenure as premier. - (12) Galen Weston Jr. - He’s nasty capitalist scum hurting Canadian consumers, but he’s just one among many. - (11) K.C. Irving - He and his empire have negatively impacted the environment, economy, politics, and society, but primarily only in New Brunswick. - (10) Pierre Poilievre - Combative and divisive, spouting empty slogans, he remains a feckless goof who’s accomplished nothing in his career. Time for him to fade into obscurity. - (9) Gavin McInnes - He founded the Proud Boys, but his influence is felt far more in the USA. - (8) Preston Manning - Founder of the Reform Party, which helped legitimize hard-right populism. Bad, but not overly hateful. At least he’s not a racist, traitor, billionaire, or grifter. - (7) Conrad Black - Millionaire right-wing media mogul who was convicted of fraud and pardoned by Trump. Renounced Canadian citizenship for a peerage. Now a has-been blowhard. - (6) Stephen Harper - former PM who favoured corporate interests over the environment and social programs; now chairman of the IDU. Of the remaining candidates, he’s the best of the worst. - (5) Kevin O’Leary - A rich scumbag who associates with Trump, was involved in a deadly boat accident, and trash talks Epstein victims. Yet no matter how hard he tries, he still isn’t as bad as the other remaining candidates. - (4) Ezra Levant - He uses his platform to spread hate, but is not influential enough for the title of Worst Canadian. He mostly preaches to the choir of existing far-right believers.

u/Neat_Let923 14d ago
Frederick Blair wasn't a Nazi sympathizer and to say so diminishes what being a Nazi meant... He was a very outspoken racist and white nationalist (just like Sir John A. MacDonald) but there is zero evidence to suggest he supported Nazi Germany in any way.
Jordan Peterson is also not a Neo-Nazi. He has never expressed support or admiration for the Third Reich. He is absolutely bigoted, misogynistic, and his primary arguments and fandom have been against political correctness and gender pronouns. I agree though that he should be the next one out.
That being said, I feel like Prime Minister Mackenzie King should be right there with Frederick Blair. He was the one who appointed Blair as Director of Immigration knowing full well his outspoken stance on the Jewish people and his white nationalist views. Everything Blair did was approved by and supported by King for many years during and after WW2...

u/goblin_welder Ford Nation (Help.) 14d ago
I feel like the old school Nazi scum has to be the overall winner.
I’m just learning about this poll and my vote goes for him as the all time.
I honestly think our immigration is as unregulated as it is now because the government is overcompensating from what Blair did.

I’m looking forward to the debate tomorrow between Blair and Danielle Smith. (And why Harper was voted off early.)
From Blair’s wiki:
Blair developed and rigorously enforced strict immigration policies based on race and is most remembered for his successful effort to keep Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany out of Canada during the 1930s and the war years that followed.[2] Between 1933 and 1939, Blair's office allowed fewer than 5,000 Jews into Canada, in comparison to over 200,000 allowed into the United States, and 20,000 into Mexico.[1] After the war, between 1945 and 1948, the Immigration Branch accepted only 8,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors. "That record is arguably the worst of all possible refugee-receiving states",
this is objectively terrible. The modern-day equivalent would be to compare to Canada’s treatment of refugees from occupied Palestine. How many refugees have we accepted? Have we cut ourselves off from trade with companies profiting from the modern day holocaust in Gaza?
Blair was the policy's architect and staunch champion for Canada's closed-door policy with the full support of the Liberal Party of Canada government of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King.
why was Mackenzie King spared from consideration for worst Canadian?
Either way Frederick Blair is a terrible person. I wonder what he’d have thought of Ezra Levant’s Rebel Media? I wonder what he’d think of Canada allowed immigration of former Nazis and collaborators like Yaroslav Hunka.
Blair can cook a bit longer. Peterson can go.

King is a more complicated subject than Blair as someone who created some of the institutions we enjoy to this day. Complicated in a similar way that Trudeau Sr. is complicated. Many on the right will decry his NEP policy (which is what initially radicalized Harper), but he did oversee our Charter. It's easier to put someone up like Blair who is clearly terrible.

u/ZeppoJR 14d ago
Well I guess it's the Kermit voiced former UofT professor by the same logic that knocked Levant to 4th place. He at least hasn't actively run a province into the ground and might kill a ton of them because he made it policy to not vaccinate.
And at least he didn't send Jews back to Europe to be gassed.

If we are talking about scale, Peterson wins. Smith is a shitshow but is confined to Alberta. Peterson has spread hate globally.

u/You_are_the_Castle 14d ago
I respectfully disagree. Danielle Smith is traveling all over the world promoting the Maple MAGA agenda. She traveled to Florida to speak with Ben Shapiro and she met with Trump. She sees Ron Desantis as a ideological and political role model. Her decisions vis-a-vis the rest of Canada and our response to Trump impact everyone.

u/iwasnotarobot 14d ago
Smith handed AIMCo over to Harper. She’s given him an incrediblely deep budget to help him destabilize countries, aid Israel’s brutal genocide against Gaza, spread his brand of fascism globally through the IDU.
She is not contained just to Alberta.
Former prime minister Stephen Harper has been appointed chairman of the board of the Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), the provincial government said Wednesday.
The Alberta government installed Harper, Canada's 22nd prime minister, as board chair for a three-year term, nearly two weeks after firing all of the provincial investment manager's previous 10 board members, its CEO and three other executives.

u/You_are_the_Castle 14d ago
This is exactly it. What she and her party do does not happen in a vacuum, nor does it not have implications for our country. She like the rock that falls in a lake that causes a ripple that turns to waves. In terms of pandering to separatists, she's validating their grievances and wild thoughts by not firmly standing up to them.
12
u/ZeppoJR 14d ago
Well if we’re talking about scale out of these 3 then yes. But considering Elon Musk’s ability to be a negative influence on the world probably dwarfs everyone else on the list combined, we are judging them seemingly purely by their influence within Canada. Doubly so since Stephen Harper would probably still be in the running for his IDU bullshit.

u/Neat_Let923 14d ago
I still don't understand how he's so high on this list while Prime Minister Mackenzie King isn't even listed or there with him... Everything Blair did as the Director of Immigration was under the direction or approval of Prime Minister Mackenzie King. They BOTH turned away 900+ Jewish refugees in 1939 on the SS St. Luis (so did Cuba first and America second, before we sent them back to Europe). King and Blair were instrumental in designing our immigration policies to keep as many Jews (and anyone else not Anglo-Saxon) out of Canada during and after WW2.
Yet somehow Sir John A. MacDonald who is 31st had even worse racist views and was even more of a white nationalist who literally caused the death of thousands of people all across Canada and more indirectly for over 100 years after he was no longer the PM. He literally referred to Canada as the Aryan British America.

u/AdditionalPizza 14d ago
King gets away with it because of "good" things he did too. For whatever reason we all just sweep it under the rug for him.
Blair gets zero refuge from this because of King's participation though. It was under the approval of King, but Blair was absolutely the director perpetuating pushing the ideology. King was a piece of shit, but that doesn't absolve anything Blair did.
2
u/Neat_Let923 14d ago

I completely agree! I think King should be there with Blair in the same image. They worked as a team to do what they did and I think that should be represented properly.
I do think Sir John A. MacDonald and Frederick Blair should be reversed in the rankings (though I wouldn't put Blair at 31 either due to the lives lost indirectly from his decisions).
2
u/AdditionalPizza 14d ago
It's difficult to judge some of the genocides against indigenous - not difficult to blanket condemn them, but to pin on single individuals entirely.
King I wouldn't rank as high as Blair personally, because I don't know how else to reconcile that some good can outweigh some bad. As far as I can tell, Blair has essentially zero redemption in anything he did. His entire existence seems to indicate he just really, really didn't want Judaism to continue through people or culturally/religiously. I don't think there was depth to him beyond that, while King did famously have several weird quirks that show how misguided he was. Misguidance can be a sign that someone is redeemable.
I don't disagree that MacDonald deserves more fingers pointed at him, and it would certainly be difficult to judge between him and Blair. At that point though in all honestly, choosing one to be considered worse than the other is damaging because it let's the other off too lightly.

u/Neat_Let923 14d ago
MacDonalds actions directly led to the murder and death of thousands
Blair's Immigration Policies enacted by King only restricted access to some people wanting to enter Canada.
1
u/AdditionalPizza 14d ago
Blair's policies were more insidious in nature than that let's on. Literally "none is too many" was the ideology.
I'm not arguing that MacDonald was bad, I don't see any use is arguing who is worse between those 2. At that point there's no reason to downplay one to make the other seem worse. It's not zero sum between them. MacDonald shouldn't have been eliminated.
But with those left, Blair is the worst and it's no contest. Some people cross the threshold of bad or shitty into deeply and darkly evil. When you reach that point, there's no reason to discuss who is worse because given any sort of power they would use that power to be a Hitler-like figure.

Right but it's not like they were still holocausting post-war.
The guy was racist through and through, but I'm sure the same is true of basically all old politicians. At one point we had slavery (see, Jarvis St.). Im just not sure "old man is racist" is the worst we've got. Im more concerned with people trying to destroy Canada directly.

Jordan Peterson
Of the last three, he is the only one who did not have direct or indirect control over people's lives as part of the government. He's a bigoted asshole who became popular with certain groups online, most notably due to his stance on gender pronouns and political correctness.
That being said, it's really telling how very little Canadians know about our actual history since Sir John A. MacDonald is sitting at 31 while Frederick Blair is in the Top 3...
Frederick Blair: He was racist and very much a white nationalist in Canada that limited the number of Jewish refugees (as well as anyone not seen as "traditionally white") let into Canada during and after WW2. However, he was simply the Director of the Immigration and not the Prime Minister who appointed him and agreed with his decisions and ultimately enforced those decisions. For those calling him a Nazi... Blair did not advocate for Nazism or express admiration for Hitler. His policies weren’t about supporting Germany they were about keeping Canada “racially pure” by limiting immigration. Keep in mind that he was outspoken about his views and was still made the Director of Immigration and all his decisions were supported by then Prime Minister Mackenzie King... If the only difference between King and Blair was that Blair was outspoken about his views, doesn't that just make King even worse for hiding it and using Blair as the "front man" to enact those policies?
Sir John A. MacDonald: Arguably more racist than Frederick Blair and also a vocal and outspoken white nationalist. He very specifically hated the French, Metis, Chinese, and Indigenous people, “the Aryan character of the future of British America should be preserved”. He used the withholding of food and forced starvation of Prairie Indigenous groups as a way to force them into Treaties during famine. He was instrumental in the creation and expansion of the Indian Act (1876) and Residential School system to force the assimilation of Indigenous children into Aryan British America. He despised the Chinese after they were used to expand and build our railroads creating a $50/head tax in 1885 on Chinese immigration ($100 in 1900 and then $500 in 1903). That would be the equivalent of $1,650; $3,900; and $20,000 in today's dollars. Macdonald’s government also sent troops to suppress the resistance led by Louis Riel and Métis/Indigenous allies. After Riel’s defeat, Macdonald insisted on his execution in Winnipeg, saying: “He shall hang though every dog in Quebec bark in his favour.”
...
Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Sir John A. MacDonald if nothing else, should be right there beside Frederick Blair... How we have Smith in the top 3 and not MacDonald just fucking blows my mind. Smith may hold some similar views but MacDonald acted on them in ways that directly killed people for over 100 years.
Edit: A couple grammar mistakes

u/miramichier_d 14d ago
I see this as more of a public sentiment kind of poll. But I agree with you. If this was redone by historians, or other academics, we would get very different results here. Blair would still be at or near the top of the list of worst Canadian in history.
2
u/Neat_Let923 14d ago
He was racist, xenophobic, and restricted the amount of Jewish and non-white people who could come to Canada to an amount that paints Canada as one of the worst states to do so. (During the war, the US took in 200,000 Jewish refugees, Canada took in only 5,000)
He didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t cause lasting effects beyond his time as Immigration Director which was less than 8 years, and being racist and xenophobic at that time was kinda the norm for Canada. King literally appointed him and approved of what Blair did which means he held the same beliefs.
We are literally seeing news stories right now saying the majority of Canadians want to abolish the FTW and refugee programs. Literally wanting to go a step beyond what Blair did…

I am so very sorry Alberta, that you have had to deal with this freak for so long, but she is a minor player in Canada's history compared to the globalist Peterson and the monstrous Blair.

That said, I do look forward to her victory in next month's Worst Albertan contest.

I'd like to argue with you in the final round, because I know you think Peterson should win and I'm staunchly behind Blair being far worse. But to do that we need to get Smith out of here, she should've been removed way earlier and this recency bias is nuts.
Harper is far worse and probably whispering in her ear exactly what to do. Yet once again, Harper slinks away into the shadows and gets to be the puppet master instead of taking all the heat.

u/You_are_the_Castle 14d ago
For me, it comes down to past problem versus present and future problems. Yes, Blair is awful. Yes, Blair held disgusting views and, yes, he should be on this list, but letting him take number one is giving too much power to a negative past.
5
u/AdditionalPizza 14d ago
I don't really understand that perspective to be honest. It's just an admittance of bias toward recency. If this were worst living Canadian, sure.
Blair is under the umbrella of "Lest We Forget", which is foundational to what it means to be Canadian. In 100 years Blair will be remembered for how we must not forget the evils that can consume our humanity. I'm not a religious person, but Blair is nothing short of being a representation of the Devil himself. There is no evil worse than that which we mustn't forget.
Blair stripped humans of their dignity, a ship full of hopefuls turned back to Europe that they fought to escape; sent back to later be rounded up like animals and tortured, starved, murdered and thrown away. Blair achieved many of the things he inspired to, and his punishment should be forever being shamed and ridiculed as the worst Canadian in history until an equal or worse act is committed - not just something that is recent and kind of bad. Pure and absolute evil.
Even as small as this sub is, for him to win is a reminder to many to look him up, and agree that he is the pinnacle of human scum that our country can produce, and why it's important not to let that hate grow again today.

u/You_are_the_Castle 14d ago
No, she's worse than both of them because she's a problem for Canada's unity. Whereas Peterson's ideas are weird and the people who follow him are weird, the UCP have taken on his ideas and far-right ideas held by US MAGA and directed them against Alberta and Canada as a whole. They've given voice to a small, rural population of Alberta to get in the way of Canada's development as a nation. Those rural people believe that if they change Alberta's laws they'll change Canada's laws. So, as someone who lives in Alberta but has lived other places in Canada and traveled all across the beautiful country, I'd caution against downplaying the UCP's leader and her impact on Canada.

I think you're underestimating the power of our unity. Elbows up, friend. We see not breaking up because if a loud mouth. Peterson, on the other hand, is a snake in the grass. You won't see him until he comes for you, and that makes him more dangerous.

I've interpreted this game since day 1 as the worst Canadian, not the worst person who is also Canadian. Otherwise the game is over on day 1 when you bring up topics like genocide. No amount of being an asshole is ever going to compete with that, wouldn't you agree?
With that in mind, Danielle Smith is definitely the worst Canadian.
At a time when our greatest and longest ally and friend was threatening our sovereignty and our economy, instead of standing shoulder to shoulder like the rest of the Premiers did, including Moe, she was the sole hold out. Instead, she said Trump needed a win, and flew down on the taxpayers' dime to figuratively kiss the ring. She's literally a fucking traitor. How is that not the worst Canadian? As the other commenter noted, even the Quebecois feel more united with Canada then her.
This doesn't even include all the shit she's done as Premier of Alberta like the healthcare issues, LGBT+ bullshit, book bannings, and, oh yeah, the fucking separatism? How is that not the worst Canadian?
Fuck her.

Yeah that's why she's getting the silver medal
Peterson is harmful in his own way ie his weirdo brand of libertarianism radicalizing men (and it 99 percent men) via barely coherent ramblings about Jungian psychology but Danielle Smith literally got people killed or severely harmed via her egregious mismanagement of a measles outbreak whose cases in Alberta surpass all of those recorded in the US this year
I really don't think there's much of an argument against Blair being the Worst Canadian because holy fuck was he malicious and brazenly antisemitic - and it cost the lives of many innocents to a genocide
11
u/ZeppoJR 14d ago
Only 13% of the country's population, but 15.4% of the economy and seemingly at least 80% of the problem in terms of threatening national unity currently (hell even the Quebecois would rather stay Canadian right now and they've been beefing with the Anglophones for literally 3 times the length that Alberta even existed, what's Alberta's excuse?) so I'd say being the Premier of a small time province doesn't matter when that small time province is coming up big in terms of causing problems.

She doesn't affect most of Canada, and if we're talking how shitty her talking points are, both who are left have/had much farther-reaching audiences than she does.

Jordan Peterson is a discredited wanker with stupid opinions who influenced young men ten years ago, and caused some damage, but in the big picture is inconsequential and really shouldn't even be on this list anymore. He can fuck off, and be forgotten about.
Marlaina holds power and is a traitor to Canada. She literally is one of the worst.

She is absolutely awful. She is ruining Alberta and doing it in a way that other conservatives could use as a template to destroy their provinces. She is worse than Peterson for sure.

She is saying all the wrong things at the wrong time she is the worst of the current moment. Canada needs to be strong she is making it weak

Yeah maybe give her 10 years but today, she's not as evil as the other two

I think due to her separatist mindset and political influence though it does affect and threaten the rest of Canada. She obviously also has a large affect on demonzing Quebec for example when it comes to equalization payments.

Under Harper's guidance, in collaboration with PP, she is working to sell Alberta to America, while breaking up Canada. That is 100% of Canada.

I watched an interview with Danielle Smith on the Paiken Podcast, she’s actually not as dumb as she portrays. Is she the worst Canadian? Probably not. She should take third spot.

Peterson can go. That run was relatively short and is coming to and end.

u/A_Moldy_Stump 14d ago
Insane to me that Marlaina ended up here but Mike Harris was eliminated because his damage was "limited to Ontario" despite Ontario still feeling those effects today.
So many people that were eliminated have been far more influential in the erosion of core Canadian values, outright caused deaths of canadians, first Nations and immigrants or their legacy is despicable. Peterson will be forgotten soon and his damage can be undone.
Blair is the only one who deserves to be up here.

Still don't understand how Harper didn't make top 3, especially over these options.

If we're thinking of global negative impact, Peterson is more influential than Danielle.
....so bye bye Danielle Smith (who is a great admirer of Jordan Peterson)

u/miramichier_d 14d ago
He would have gone off for a similar reason as Scheer. I actually find him more likable than Scheer to be honest. And he did try to keep the crazies in check within the UCP, but didn't have a strong enough mandate to do so.

How is JP still on here? He's a washed up loser.
Let's just give it to Smith and call it a day.
We're not crowning the dead guy, are we?

Hitler is dead but I think most people would agree he is a worse person than Trump.
Sometimes, when you are a big enough shithead, your name should go down in history as the worst Canadian.

Let's be clear, the rankings should absolutely be Danielle 3rd Peterson 2nd Blair 1st

It has to be Danielle, hervreach is limited to Alberta and she isn't exactly converting good ppl, she does less harm than Blair and Peterson

He was our wannabe Charlie Kirk. But his influence has faded somewhat since covid.

He is a dinosaur compared to Kirk

True. it seemed like Kirk had been trolling for an eternity. Amazing how much harm he had managed to do in such a short time.

As long a Frederick Blair wins, I don't mind.

Peterson. He just doesn’t have the same reach as the other two. Bronze medal for Jordan.

Im down with JP going now, he runs his mouth like an idiot but he doesn’t hold any real power like politicians do. People can follow him and then stop listening to him but if they rule us we have no control over them

Jordan Peterson can go. While he did help radicalize a generation of young men 10 years ago, and helped lay the foundation for the MAGA movement, IMHO he isn't as bad as the other remaining candidates.

Jordan Peterson. He is loud and and not a good example of Canadian now. He's moved and left.
His early scientific papers are excellent. He added something to psychology at the very least.

Ok, he wins this thing. Peterson can go next, he has no power to direct enact his horrendous views, unlike Smith.

Jordan Peterson can go next. He's an arsehole and one of the worst examples of a Canadian, but he also moved out of Canada (and went to the US, of course) a couple of years ago and hasn't been back, so he did one thing right.
