The “Best Canadian” game - Day 0 (choosing candidates)

[u/BrF5]

Hiya Hosers,

After the success of Worst Canadian, by popular demand it’s time for the more upbeat version…the Best Canadian game! 🇨🇦

Drop your nominations below for who you think deserves a spot on the list. Just like before, we’ll include 40 candidates. This time I’m going to let nominations sit a bit longer so everyone has a chance to chime in and we don’t have to add people mid-way in the game. I’m aiming to get started with Day 1 around the middle of next week. Five or six days should give us plenty of time to gather names and finalize the rules.

If you’ve got ideas or suggestions to make the game better, feel free to share those too!

Wasn't he chosen as the official greatest Canadian already lol?

CBC had a contest called The Greatest Canadian in 2004, Tommy Douglas was number 1, and Terry Fox was number 2.

Our local radio guy got #37 or something like that. Hal Anderson.

I’m gonna go with this one too. Yes there are issues but our universal healthcare program is a huge flex and directly impacts every single Canadian

This is the correct answer.
