Fun fact
She carried Wynonna Earp for five seasons, a show whose fanbase mounted a successful campaign to save it from cancellation — the most Canadian outcome imaginable for a Canadian genre show.
The verdict
Mrs. McMurray on Letterkenny, but before that five seasons as the title character in Wynonna Earp — a genuinely Canadian genre institution shot in Alberta. Ottawa-born, Canadian Screen Award winner, and now a starship captain on Strange New Worlds. Born, raised, and working constantly. Five points.
