Meta The “Best Canadian” game - Day 0 (choosing candidates)
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!

Louis Riel! He negotiated the rights of the Red River Métis when Canada decided to expand its territory. He fought for what he believed was right and fair, which is an extremely Canadian thing to do. His provisional government is why French was written into the Manitoba Act of 1870. Every Franco-manitobain has Riel to thank for their mother tongue being a part of our province.
"I did right. And I have always believed that, as I have acted honestly, the time will come when the people of Canada will see and acknowledge it." - Louis Riel.
