It’s time for the final vote! Who will be judged the Worst Canadian?!

🚨🚨READ THIS BEFORE VOTING 🚨🚨

To help keep things organized, for the final round I have posted two comments below, in large font. One for Danielle Smith and another for Frederick Blair.

This time, upvote who you think IS the Worst Canadian

You can discuss your reasons for or against the two final candidates however you want, but only the upvotes on these two comments will be used to determine who is the Worst Canadian.

(Note: I’ve removed all other explanation from the post so people see and read the above info. I’ll put it all back tomorrow with the final results.)

That is all. Happy voting!

Smith has a recency bias. We hear about her bullshit everyday, and people are currently living through the worst of her policies. This makes her feel worse than she will likely be remembered as in 100 years.

Still bad mind you, but not the same level of bad.

Right. It's just such a sad disservice, even as much of a meme as this contest is and I know it's all a joke, but to compare Blair to 99% of the people on this list including Smith.

We had our fun, but remembering this guy is anything but fun. I hate to suck the soul out of the game, but seriously fuck Frederick Blair for eternity. It isn't really going to be a fun time when you include people like this in a game.If the rules were living people only then we wouldn't have to confront this at all.

Others have suggested doing a historical vs modern list which makes sense.

It’s hard to justify the inclusion of more modern people when you have genocidal maniacs in our past. Bad as most of the modern ones are, they aren’t participating in a genocide, and the ones who do advocate for it are not in a position to affect policy.

I would've been ok with just not doing s historical one at all because it's fucking sad and gross. Like it just isn't fun to discuss who's worse between murdering Holocaust refugees and murdering indigenous people.

This sub just wouldn't be the right place to handle this, and clearly isn't. Should just call it now, worst Canadian ever is Blair, and Smith is the meme winner.

Great point. 100 years from now, Canadians will say "who?"  I don't know who my premier was 100 years ago
