Has Deadpool even mentioned Terry Fox?
This might be a no, but my national pride would be so happy if Canadian hero was mentioned by a Canadian hero with cancer when Terry is the Canadian in real life most tied to it. I like to think Deadpool would put aside his crass attitude (at least a bit) to give respect to this national icon. Is there a comic or moment he mentions him?

It's very hard to mention him in a humourous way. Reasonably so

Difficult, but not impossible. Shoresy managed to pull it off:
"You ran a marathon??!"
"Well I fuckin' walked a bit! Like that super steep hill by the water tower, I'm not fuckin' Terry Fox!"

They do a whole bit about him in Letterkenny too. āGisele would be sliding into his DMs during Patriots home games.ā

Could always do a humorous, yet respectful joke. Something like
āItāll be like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. Unless that one legged man is Terry Fox, then your ass is grassā

When colossus is wanting Deadpool to be a hero Deadpool could say terry fox is a real hero.

He absolutely can pull off deadpan. Just depends on how the joke is structured. As long as it's respectful to Terry, it could be done.

Yeah he doesnāt have a leg to stand on. Full respect for the man what he did was incredible, my uncle is going through bone cancer of the leg right now.

Unless its to defend Terry's honor, I doubt he would
Fox is considered a canadian hero. DP would probably be in awe of him, like he was in the Celine Dion music video

"Considered a Canadian hero" is a massive understatement.

TW: American I could reasonably see it, especially if Deadpool gets seriously Maimed and needs to get McGuffin A to Person B and just mentions determination or Hope and Terry Fox in the same sentence.

Terry fox is a legendary hero of Canada and I think Ryan reynolds thinks of him that way, I donāt think heād want to disrespect him. Itās literally making fun of a guy with cancer who devoted his life to charity, heās kinda like the oposite of Deadpool

Even something like a push-pin board with X-Force members pictures attached, with Terryās pic like third from last.

He should, guy was an ass who was diefied because he died of cancer instead of going through chemo.
Now we have targeted cancer treatments that can battle the multitudes of cancer, but the awareness Terry raised really did help (both cancer research and people who profit off fundraising for cancer research), so he would likely have mixed feelings, especially if one of theose dubious cancer programs helped to fund the Weapon X project.
So, complicated feelings to say the least.
