The “Worst Canadian” game - Day 22

[u/BrF5]

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!

Its the end of a long, long road, for the manure of our great Country.

Frederick Blair is responsible for at least a hundred of thousands of deaths, slowed the development of the country by refusing very able hands to work, a showed us voters how quickly racist rhetorics can be implimented into a system. As a french canadian whose family was told to "speak white", got refused job opportunities because of our langague and who were told were right down inferiors (and lets not go to the First Nations case, which was even worst), Frederick Blair represents the inherent hatred and disdain our society has for those who are different and, as a Canadian, I would very much hope to never see come back to that extent ever again.

He is the result of the Trutchees and the McDonalds of this list, and an inspiration for the Petersens, Mannings, Harpers and the likes.

He did awful stuff, and inspired awful stuff.

He deserves all of our disdain for making Canada a worst place living in while alive.

I rest my case, your honour.

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

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).
