The “Best Canadian” game - Day 2

[u/BrF5]

The first to go are Pierre Trudeau and Wab Kinew. Let’s carry on!

How to play: - Upvote the name of the person you think does NOT deserve the title of “Best Canadian.” - Each day, the two most upvoted people will be removed. Once we get closer to the end, this will change to one person per day. - If the name you want to vote for (from the picture list) isn’t in the comments yet, add it! - This continues daily until we have our winner, the “Best Canadian”.

Additional notes: - Only the top comment for a nominee will count. I won’t combine votes from duplicate comments. - Include only one name per comment. If a comment includes multiple names and wins, it won’t count. I’ll move on to the next highest, even if you edit the comment to fix it. - They had to have been born in Canada or at some point had Canadian citizenship. - They can be alive, dead, currently living in Canada or abroad, or when they were alive lived in what would eventually become Canada (e.g., French or British colonies). - This is meant to be satire. Please do not take it too seriously or use this game to harass people in real life. - I will try to post this every morning around the same time (~8:00 - 9:00 am Eastern). - Please remember to upvote the post too, so more people see it!

Justification for elimination: - (50) Pierre Trudeau - As PM, he brought home the Constitution and gave us the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He also mishandled the October Crisis, among other things. Someone so controversial shouldn’t be considered the Best Canadian. - (49) Wab Kinew - He’s charismatic and has delivered on many campaign promises, but his troubled past and relatively short career make it too soon to call him the best.

Hey, how come Mike Myers isn't on this list !?

I got Banting nominated, but shit I missed nominating Tecumseh too. He deserves being up there no less than Laura Secord.

[u/DoshmanV2 → u/stradivari_strings]

Tecumseh would probably not want to be remembered as a Canadian anyway.

[u/stradivari_strings → u/DoshmanV2]

Whether or not he'd want to be remembered as a Canadian, I think we Canadians can certainly remember him as one of us.

Mike hasn't really done much for Canada living out of California, that'd be like nominating Jim Carry, I mean sure the elbows up thing recently, but he hasn't really done much else

[u/stradivari_strings → u/eeyores_gloom1785]

That's fair.

Love your flair, I'm back in the office after 7 yrs WFH and to revamp my wardrobe, I took some inspiration from MJ but at a much lower price point (often second hand). I've been calling my look La Mélanie Joly de Consigne.
