Shove Off, Eh?

If it's alright with the mods, I started this thread, for famous Canadians, mostly for the ones that are only famous in Canada, or have little exposure to the rest of the world, such as Red Green, or Mike MacDonald, or Jason Rouse, etc. But other famous Canadians can be mentioned in here, too.

[Handrejka 1,904]

Margot Kidder, William Shatner, Justin Bieber, Celine Dion all the really annoying famous people seem to be Canadian.

I'm sure we already have a thread for this.

I know we have a famous Belgian thread. I'll have a look and merge if we have a Canadian thread.

 

Edit - Couldn't find one, but there is a Canadian Paul deadpool thread. Do you think you might be thinking of that one?

Jim Carrey is Canadian, too. So was Conrad Bain.

[Octopus of Odstock 2,206]

The old Canadian Paul Death Pool had a number of decent Canadian options - Maurice Strong was the one I picked donkeys years ago and he's still going strong.

[Guest American Sports Fan]

No shortage of hockey players who could be listed here, of course.

 

Lots of well-known Canadian pro wrestlers too, including the Harts, the Rougeaus, The Vachons (Mad Dog Vachon turns 84 this year), Abdullah the Butcher, Chris Jericho, Roddy Piper, and Edge.

 

Conservative senator and former party campaign director Doug Finley is someone I had marked as a person to watch. He was given 2.5 years to live on a terminal cancer diagnosis, and that was about a year ago.

[Lewd_Squirrel 331]

Christopher Plummer, too

[lorna doom 18]

Michael J Fox as well (although I think he has his own thread?)

[BadEgg 38]

Terence and Phillip

[BadEgg 38]

Mr.Karen Brady is Canadian

Leonard Cohen!

[CaptainChorizo 1,988]

Here are 3 people due to age who would be reasonable options

 

Monty Hall

The Let's Make A Deal Host is 91,and would probably get at least a Daily Mail Obit since he was a staple of American tv for decades.

 

Alice Munro

Her short story The Bear Came Over The Mountain which was later adapted in the Oscar/Bafta nominated film Away From Her is 81 and has cancelled appearance in recent years for health concerns.

 

Gordie Howe

Turns 85 this month and is considered one of the top 2 or 3 Hockey players ever. I assume almost no other hockey player will ever get a UK Obit if he doesn't.

Long-ailing former Ontario premier Ralph Klein's health is deteriorating rapidly.

Whatever happened to Canadian Paul?

Don't jinx it. I'm still getting over the death of Levon Helm. I don't want anymore of them to die :-(

I always end up up jinxing things. I'm doing my best to avoid asking the question "whatever happened to....." because usually within a month or two, they're dead

Whatever happened to Canadian Paul?

 

He's taken a step-back from dead pooling to concentrate on other stuff, like his PhD.

 

Personally, I love hanging out here to give me a break from the mental anguish of doctoral studies, but CP clearly copes in a different way.

Now if only he'd chosen deadpooling as a subject for his PhD, he'd have covered both bases.

I've tried that already. There's strong voodoo shit keeping that woman alive.

Yes and then he could take his position at the Institute for Deadpool Research on a Government funded salary of millions.
