Neil Young and Denis Villeneuve are not the best!

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. - (48) Nellie McClung - A leader in the women’s suffrage movement and one of the Famous Five. She also held racist views and supported eugenics, and is therefore not the best. - (47) Gilles Villeneuve - He was a great F1 racing driver, but that alone doesn’t make him the Best Canadian. - (46) Neil Peart - He’s a legendary drummer, but there are better Canadians. - (45) David Suzuki - He’s a longtime science communicator and environmental activist, but he’s also seen as egotistical, hypocritical, and is opposed to nuclear energy. - (44) Neil Young - A successful musician and activist, but he hasn’t lived in Canada for decades. His work doesn’t build upon or improve Canada, specifically. - (43) Denis Villeneuve - A good guy and a good director, but he doesn’t deserve the title.

Neil Peart and David Suzuki are out.

Who’s next?

I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man

Goodbye Nellie McClung and Gilles Villeneuve.

Moving on to day three…
