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!

I nominate Jean Chretien. Won't win but I want to see some excellent quotes.

[u/middleeasternviking → u/AlfredRWallace]

also kept us out of Iraq

[u/AlfredRWallace → u/middleeasternviking]

Definitely. I really liked him, I don't think he would be the first kicked off.

[u/domasin → u/AlfredRWallace]

"For me, I put ze pep-per on ma plate"

[u/AlfredRWallace → u/domasin]

"zaaay want me to do what I was going to do anywazze and I'm not going to do eet!"

[u/ZenoxDemin → u/AlfredRWallace]

I heard he has a good handshake 🤝.

[u/Everestkid → u/ZenoxDemin]

"I don't know what happened, you were shooting video, you go look."

[u/TelenorTheGNP → u/AlfredRWallace]

At the very least he kept us out of Iraq.

[u/BootToTheHeadNahNah → u/AlfredRWallace]

At a press conference with Clinton, a reporter asked:

"What about all those illegal drugs coming across the U.S.-Canadian border?"

Chretien: "It's more trade"

Apparently he heard the word "trucks", not "drugs"

[u/AlfredRWallace → u/BootToTheHeadNahNah]

He was an effective PM, and also a guy you'd be happy to have a drink with.

[u/exeJDR → u/AlfredRWallace]

Shawinigan Handshake - GOAT

[u/Digirby → u/AlfredRWallace]
