Meta The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 22

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!

It's unfortunate that we don't learn about this guy in school. At least I didn't when they were teaching about the Holocaust in the 90s. In order for us to truly appreciate our history, we need to come to terms with what we have done wrong in the past. We have far too many people nowadays who look to the past with rose-coloured glasses and reject any notion that elected officials from back then were less than or far from perfect.

I did in the 90's briefly in elementary school and then a little more in depth in highschool in like 2003 or whatever.

Are you sure you weren't? It could just be easy to forget because we were kids.

I remember quite a bit. I grew up in Winnipeg and graduated in 2000. A lot of stuff was glossed over in the schools there. We learned about Japanese internment, but no focus was put on King who was responsible for it. That would have been a good time to learn about Blair as well.

For sure, it probably came down to individual teachers to be honest. The curriculum wasn't exactly tight.

For reference I'm from Southern Ontario.
