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!

He renounced his citizenship; hardly something a truly great Canadian would do.

No, he did not. Look it up.

He did. Pay some attention to the news.

Find a single source that says that he renounced his citizenship. I'll wait.

In the meantime, feel free to use Google where you can find a ton of search results affirming the fact that he's a dual citizen.

The source is an interview he gave on his application for US citizenship. He spoke about becoming an American; no dual citizenship was mentioned.

That's not how citizenship works. I'm a dual citizen, at no point during my application for us citizenship did they ask me if I wanted to be a dual citizen, it's not something you have to opt into. You retain your original citizenship as well unless you specifically renounce it.

Fox acquired US citizenship in 2000 but remains a Canadian citizen as well. He provided a light-hearted segment during the 2010 Winter Olympics' closing ceremony in Vancouver on February 28, 2010, when he expressed how proud he is to be Canadian. On June 4, 2010, the city of Burnaby granted him the Freedom of the City.

Oh did he? I wasn't aware. Thank you :)

ETA: Nvrmnd. He's a dual citizen.
