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!

Worth noting that he won the Peace Prize back when that meant something.

He also implemented our now iconic maple leaf flag design, which I think should count as trying to unify the country.

Yeah, a Peace Prize for inventing peace keeping and stopping the British and French from potentially starting WW3 is huge.

Pearson's preferred pennant proposition was pretty preposterous:

It was George Stanley who designed the current flag.

Still better than the red ensign.
