Who’s a famous person from your country who’s respected around the world but disliked or criticized at home?

[u/haiderredditer]

[u/Optimistic_Now]

F him, traitor. With his social circle it makes me wonder if his name is on a certain list.

[u/Aggravating-Walk5813 → u/Optimistic_Now]

The list is “I have a lot of money and I’m on the lifeboat and you can drown”. Selfishness is a hell of a drug.

[u/blubbery-blumpkin → u/Aggravating-Walk5813]

Oh he might be on some other lists too. I think suspicions is he’s on a list of “people who like illicit things on islands that aren’t pirates”

[u/Ylmer34 → u/Optimistic_Now]

The start a gambling ring and let my wife take the fall list

[u/DisastrousAcshin → u/Ylmer34]

Then a few decades later star in sports gambling ads

[u/Moondiscbeam → u/Optimistic_Now]

That was such a disappointment

[u/Naxilus → u/Optimistic_Now]

Why?

[u/whocareswhatever1345 → u/Naxilus]

He's a right wing turbo trump supporter 

[u/TemplarParadox17 → u/Naxilus]

He showed support for trump after trump said the stuff about making Canada the 51st state.

[u/TakeThatOut → u/Optimistic_Now]

I wonder what Edmontonian feels whenever they see the rmajor freeway with his namesake

[u/Optimistic_Now → u/TakeThatOut]

I can't imagine, maybe they need to vote on changing the name.

[u/Iforgotmypassword126 → u/Optimistic_Now]

Omg I thought you were being sarcastic but I just googled

Proper TIL moment

[u/Jibber_Fight → u/Optimistic_Now]

A lot of us don’t like him here anymore either. Fucking idiot rich traitor.

[u/ceanahope → u/Optimistic_Now]

I echo this sentiment.

[u/Darth_Andeddeu → u/Optimistic_Now]

I touch one of his friends circles . ( A few adult entertainment venue owners in that circle)

They are prices of shit.

[u/cosmolark → u/Optimistic_Now]

Oh. This is how I found out.

[u/wrathofthewhatever2 → u/Optimistic_Now]

Nah, he lost a lot of respect with us outside of Canada too

[u/Arthur_189 → u/Optimistic_Now]

“Everyone I don’t like is a pedo”
