His body of work spans decades, not just a few seconds yesterday evening.
Ok but if we're judging his worth as a Canadian on his hockey prowess, how did he ever place above Gretzky? Just a weird ranking. And his advocacy has been very checkered and excessively, aggressively nationalist. He's a climate denier who expressed support for Donald Trump and has said these types of things for decades... remember when he called out French players for wearing visors? And said all these things on national TV while being paid handsomely to share his opinions?
