I have to agree with you guys there. They should have known this would make top headlines. Very bad timing indeed. I also wanted to say that I understand why guys agree with what he said. Perhaps in some cases this may be true. But you can't generalize like that, you just can't. My grandparents immigrated here in the early 50's and I would guess it took them a few years just to get their bearings let alone understand every tradition. They died proud Canadians. Racist as all hell but that's just the way it was BACK THEN.The national on CBC , Don Cherry top story, disgusting!
Sons and Daughters lost their lives for the freedom you all enjoy, they still do, it’s not all rainbows and sunny ways!
World war 2 veteran tells Natasha fata of CBC he wanted to kill as many Germans as he could. Fata is flabbergasted... well that’s not politically correct now a days she says....and Don Cherry is our if touch?
Truth is on Dons side bud.

Saxe point ...you missed the point, to left to see I guess. It’s not who fought, it’s who pays respect. Carry on cancel culture.
I don’t think so. If you’re siding with Cherry, you will be tagged with the same label. He, and you, have missed the point entirely. The good news is that right thinking people have had enough of Cherry and his bigoted drivel.

Free speech, freedom, and democracy is what was fought for.
Hmmm...”it’s who pays respect...”. Check the picture. Enlarge it even. Try to find a poppy...

Poppies were available on Oct 25. So "respect" doesn't start until Nov 5th? Don Cherry walks down a street in Toronto, doesn't see enough poppies on "those people" and feels free to make a gross xenophobic generalization on national TV. Tell me again about "relevance".That rally occurred Nov 2nd. I know I didn't have mine on till Nov 5th. Not really relevant.
But more importantly - my Father was a veteran, and he repeatedly said he fought explicitly so people had the right to say/do whatever they wanted. As soon as you start dictating how people should respond, how they should act, how they should show respect, you are one step on the path towards exactly the thing he was fighting against.
Oh, and this (assuming the link works).
