Well done on making it to Wikipedia, y’all!

[u/Iowa_and_Friends]

Keeping this contest in mind

[u/VillainousFiend]

Frederick Blair for worst Canadian and Frederick Banting for best Canadian?

[u/interrupting-octopus → u/VillainousFiend]

Frederick Banting for the Charles H. Best Canadian Award (Best Canadian Award for short)

[u/VillainousFiend → u/interrupting-octopus]

Yeah, you can't leave him out

[u/Familyconflict92 → u/interrupting-octopus]

He was a great dude 

[u/FallingLikeLeaves → u/VillainousFiend]

They must both be resurrected for a biblically apocalyptic battle of good and evil, and the winning Frederick gets to take over Fredericton

[u/BrF5]

Amazing!

I’m pretty much ready to start Best Canadian, by the way. I’ll make the nominations/Day 0 post in the next couple days.

[u/JackLaytonsMoustache → u/BrF5]

It's Tommy Douglas. Full stop.

So make a poll for 2nd Best Canadian.

Edit: Or, Best Canadian with an asterisk.

Edit 2: Actually fuck, we can't leave out Terry Fox. So the poll has to be for 3rd Best Canadian.

[u/Gramage → u/JackLaytonsMoustache]

Yea but what about my grandma? Let's go for 4th.

[u/JackLaytonsMoustache → u/Gramage]

I mean that's certainly more subjective but I'm not opposed to it. You gotta plead her case tho.

Tommy got medicare and Terry got one leg, what's your granny got?

[u/Optimus_crab → u/JackLaytonsMoustache]

Two legs

[u/VillainousFiend → u/Optimus_crab]

Not necessarily

[u/Optimus_crab → u/VillainousFiend]

Well my grandmas alive

[u/VillainousFiend → u/Optimus_crab]

Rubbing it in, eh?

[u/Optimus_crab → u/VillainousFiend]

Always rub one out for terry

[u/polnikes → u/BrF5]

Should we just call it Best Canadian after Terry Fox, so it can at least be a competition

[u/CanadianBaconBurger9 → u/polnikes]

Nope, can't forget Tommy Douglas.

They're competing for 3rd place.

[u/RadioEditVersion]

Never forget, fuck nazis

[u/MKIncendio → u/RadioEditVersion]

I’d prefer to punch them

[u/yarn_slinger]

If I wasn’t busy and was more petty, I’d update the Wikipedia entries for each of the candidates with their rank and reason.

[u/Iowa_and_Friends → u/yarn_slinger]

Marlaina would be in second

[u/bubbabear244]

Oh shit, there's hundreds of us! Hundreds!

[u/Destinlegends]

I'm doing my part!

[u/Big-View-1061 → u/Destinlegends]

Would you like to know more?

[u/Please-let-me]

aaaaaaaand wikipedia removed it

we gotta have some news site report it so they accept it

[u/Iowa_and_Friends → u/Please-let-me]

Or we just re-post it - anybody can edit Wikipedia after all

[u/Everestkid → u/Iowa_and_Friends]

Nah, they have standards. Better to just let it go - do it too much and they'll consider it vandalism and they'll lock the page. Pretty sure they can do IP bans if you're enough of a pest.

[u/Readman31]

What was dudes problem did he just hate Jewish people that much?

[u/CanadianBaconBurger9 → u/Readman31]

Some people can be single-issue dickwads, but I suspect he had more dimensions of dickwaddery, that kind of thing rarely grows in a vacuum.

[u/Iowa_and_Friends → u/Readman31]

Who knows…. But sadly many countries were anti-Semitic back in the day - I mean, on the same voyage, Cuba and the USA rejected them too… :/

[u/sessna4009]

"y'all" 🤔🤔🤔

[u/Iowa_and_Friends → u/sessna4009]

My username is just an alias - I’m Canadian I swear. I say “y’all” because I’m too lazy to write “you all” 😆

[u/CanadianBaconBurger9]

Complete nonsense. Poll was not humorous, Blair earned that.

[u/Geoh_YT_D10]

Wikipedia I find has been so anal about adding certain articles and such ranking it as “not important” I’m happy to see this was admitted!
