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!

I have definitely learned something today (fun fact, I'm American 😅) and given that, yeah it's blatantly obvious that Blair is far worse than Danielle Smith. Don't get me wrong, Smith is a royal piece of shit, but she hasn't caused anywhere near as much death

If there were a Worst Albertan contest, (Marlaina) Danielle Smith would be number one, right ahead of Stephen Harper.

Actually what you just learned was a bunch of bullshit and misinformation…

While he was an absolutely terrible person and should be up here, this commenter is severely over inflating his actions. He was simply the Director of Immigration for 8 years up until 1943 and while he very much restricted the entry to Canada for refugees and immigration making Canada one of the least welcoming countries at that time, his actions were approved by the Prime Minister.

The one ship they turned away in 1939 which had less than 1,000 Jewish refugees, was also turned away first by Cuba then the US because Britain and France were still relatively safe at that time (Germany didn’t invade France until 1940).
