RULES AND ELIGIBILITY

 

The Most Embarrassing Canadian doesn’t have many rules, except that we want you to actually vote (as opposed to federal, provincial, or municipal elections), and have fun! If you’re uncertain whether you are eligible to submit a nomination, or you’re not sure your pick for the Most Embarrassing Canadian is a suitable choice, here are some guidelines to help you out:

 

Who can participate?

 

  1. Participation is open to everyone with a sense of humour.
  2. The nomination period is open as long as Canadians continue to embarrass…
  3. We will accept only one e-mail nomination per person, unless very funny.
  4. Subjective democracy will apply: While all nominations will be accepted, preference will be given to the humourous and insightful over the mean and malicious, and submissions will be weighted accordingly.
  5. We reserve the right to edit or omit all submissions to fit literary requirements, legal constraints, and the barest modicum of good taste.
  6. All submissions become sole possession of TMEC along with all rights to publication, in print or electronically. So make it good.

 

Here’s who is eligible for nomination:

 

  1. Someone born in, residing in, or affiliated with Canada that has made a significant contribution to humbling out country’s self-image. Anyone you find embarrassing on the national or international stage is suitable.
  2. An individual (not a group, e.g. Bachman Turner Overdrive, not a pair, e.g. Wayne and Schuster, not an animal, e.g. Wiarton Willy)
  3. A real person. Fictitious characters (e.g. Red Green or Superman) will not be considered, but can and will be held against their Canadian creators (e.g. Steve Smith and Joe Shuster).
  4. The person you can nominate can be either living (e.g. Brian Mulroney), dead (e.g. Adrien Arcand), or both (e.g. Cory Hart).
  5. Often, one motive of many serious criminals is to seek attention through their evil deeds. While killers, rapists, and pedophiles are horrifying and reprehensible, and it embarrasses all Canadians that acts like theirs could happen in our country, they will not be eligible to win Most Embarrassing Canadian.
  6. The criminally stupid (Alliance MP Larry Spencer) will be thoroughly vilified, however.
