Why not McInnes for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 54-year-old author, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes McInnes so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the author have already been named ‘Canadian Of The Year’ by some major Canadian newspapers and even ‘Hitchin Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Hitchin (Gavin McInnes' hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the author was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#McInnesPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Gavin has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Gavin McInnes?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Gavin McInnes?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
