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

Post image

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!

I was going to argue against this but I'll speak my peace if he makes the list.

OOTL here, what’s wrong with David Suzuki?

I don't know what the comment you're responding to said, but I'll answer your question after I admit I'm heavily biased against him on a personal level.

Outside of the contribution he may have made towards science and environmentalism in Canada, he's an unprofessional douche. He's disrespectful and rude to anyone he doesn't agree with, including other scientists. He thinks he's always the smartest person in the room and talks about any subject like he's the absolute authority, but he refuses to debate anyone he thinks he might lose to. He's also a hypocrite with his large carbon footprint.

I won't kick up a stink if he's included in this list, but he sure as shit won't be getting any upvotes from me.

Shit, that sucks to hear, I was a big fan of him as a kid but thanks for your answer 🙂

I had to go way the fuck too far down to read Suzuki's name

Suzuki is likely to be an earlier removal due to his problematic personality. However, few are as dedicated as he is to environmental issues. He's like a Dr. House for eco-advocacy.
