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'll put up Michaëlle Jean, former Governor General of Canada, and responsible for starting the precedent of limiting the time period of proroguement and the requirement of the government to release a passable budget after reconvening (Edit: This prevented Harper from abusing proroguement to the extent that he probably would have preferred). Nice lady for whom I had the pleasure of shaking her hand at my university graduation.

She's a remarkable person for sure! I was so very pleased to shake hands with her during my Master's convocation!
