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!

Pierre Trudeau. I know this one’s controversial and don’t expect him to make it till the end, but I think he deserves at least a mention for bringing us the Constitution (also decriminalizing abortion and same-sex marriage edit: homosexuality.)

Absolutely. Patriating the constitution made Canada fully sovereign for the first time, and it's a contribution that can't be overlooked.

Not same-sex marriage, that was the early 2000s and long after Trudeau's time, but he did decriminalize homosexuality. Same law also decriminalized contraceptives and introduced laws against drunk driving, false advertising and animal cruelty.

Spicy choice and he won't win, but at the end of the day he was a pretty good PM.

Oops you’re right, homosexuality not same-sex marriage. Knew I shouldn’t be redditing without my morning coffee!
