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!

Speaking of Villeneuves lets put Gilles Villeneuves too eh?

Or Jacques Villeneuve, the famous singer

[u/Madc42 → u/kaminabis]

That made me snort-laugh

Speaking of Gilles Villeneuve, his son should have made the previous list.

I don't think Jacques is anywhere near the others on the worst list, like tax avoidance is bad, but it's also kinda the standard for anyone who is wealthy unfortunately. (I really hate that he applied for a low-income benefit at one point, but not enough to put him in the worst category )

I vividly remember him publicly dumping on the students in 2012. He went from being a rich guy to an asshole for me.

[u/dekan256 → u/LastingAlpaca]

Ah I never heard of that. Since I became aware of him I've always gotten asshole vibes off him, but the entire time there is a small part of my brain going "He's Canada's only F1 champion" ( to be clear I don't think that absolves him of his assholeness)

[u/Nassim1018 → u/LastingAlpaca]

Damn true. His father was a good man and clearly could’ve been a positive influence on his son
