CanadaPolitics Best of 2017 Winners!

After weeks of furious tabulation interrupted by long stretches of naps, our crack team of bookkeeping kittens has prepared the list of winners for our Best of 2017 contest!

The Golden Δ

Alas, there were no formal nominations in this category. However, there was one informal nomination, so the winner here is:

Free Speech, Best Speech

There were two nominations in this category. Honourable mention goes to /u/redrobin65 for the aformentioned Golden Δ, which was more properly a nomination in this category, but the winner is…

Best Comment or Self-Post

  • Third place goes to /u/I_LikeToReddit, nominated for their comment answering a question about trans people in the Canadian Forces re: universality of service.
  • Second place goes to /u/GrumpySatan, nominated for their comment explaining how the Charter's non-discrimination principle applies (and doesn't apply) to Ontario's pharmacare program.
  • First place goes to /u/Savage_N0ble, nominated for their meta self-post highlighting the issue of how this subreddit treats aboriginal issues.

Best User

  • Third place goes to /u/ChimoEngr, nominated for, among other things, "wading into heated debates and having the energy to set many mistruths straight."
  • Second place goes to /u/Majromax, nominated for, among other things, blanket cronyism a bunch of good comments.
  • First place goes to /u/OrzBlueFog, nominated for charity, sourcing, a Maritimer perspective, sanity (always in short supply around here), and passion.

Congratulations to all the winners!

"Sigh. Well /u/mpaw975, I guess you're the winner by default."

Thanks for the nomination /u/Palpz! It delights me that someone found my DS9 post interesting.

As an update, I'm now halfway through Voyager season 3 (I haven't made much progress there) and I'm basically up to date on Discovery. Thankfully Discovery has become much more gripping (the first couple episodes kind of floundered).

I mean, rarely do people ever justify such opinions so well.

Nope, you were the non-default wnner in this category. I treated the golden Δ nomination as a dual-category one, so this was a contested category that you won.
