In 1998, during CBC’s coverage of the men’s Olympic gold-medal hockey game in Nagano, Japan, Cherry referred to Quebec nationalists as “a bunch of whiners," and complained that the freestyle skier Jean-Luc Brassard, of Grand-Île, Que., who had said he regretted carrying the Canadian flag in the opening ceremonies because it had affected his performance in the moguls competition, was “a French guy, some skier nobody knows about.
For decades, he has railed against Europeans supposedly displacing Canadian hockey players in North American leagues: the sports equivalent of the xenophobic “white replacement” paranoia now sweeping across Europe and the United States. . So – I owe you an apology, too,” he said. “I sat there, did not catch it, did not respond. Kathryn Teneese of Ktunaxa First Nation once said, in any wrongdoing, the real key is recognition and acknowledgment. I wanted to let you know that first – and then you work on the relationship, so that it isn’t divisive, so that something can be a unifying event. Idle No More was a great lesson to all of us. Last night was a really great lesson to Don and me.
GlobeArts Point of no return reached.
GlobeArts We all have a best-before-date. Clearly Mr Cherry has reached his BBD!
GlobeArts Canadians should boycott “Hockey Night in Canada” until Cherry is gone for good!
GlobeArts Dragging this out to and including Remembrance Day. Embarrassing 'journalism'
GlobeArts Hey , you can argue only if you have done half for our veterans then Cherry. We are in times of righteousness, one cannot express his feelings without somebody feeling depress. Take a coffee and go see a doctor....
GlobeArts It's sad that this racist A$$hole has hijacked the day we pause to honour Heroes and Patriots that served. HE didn't! He ranted while playing dress-up, donning an unofficial poppy. Some gave their lives, all forfeited their youth, RememberThem. RemembranceDay LestWeForget
GlobeArts Time for Donny- boy to hang up the skates.
GlobeArts Left wing dingbats
GlobeArts This has nothing to do with Justin Trudeau so I'm not sure why his name is being brought up. Don Cherry's message was correct, his delivery was not. It isn't about immigrants, it's about everyone who calls Canada home. An awful lot of white Canadians aren't wearing poppies too
GlobeArts Do you know for a fact Cherry meant only immigrants, or did he mean All who move to Toronto & area for a better life. I am not sure he was referring to only immigrants. Perhaps a clarification would have been good.
GlobeArts Don I'm on your side. My. problem was the federal election in Toronto.. Did all those people have citizen ship?,
GlobeArts As always, his great failing is ineloquence. Give him a pass. ..he was also partly right. His ire should've been directed at young people in general.
GlobeArts Mr Blackface was elected.
GlobeArts This is a guy who has been through a lot and seen a lot. He’s got it right but he didn’t according to a couple of goody goodies running a paper scared to take a stand! It’s Canada, try representing Canada and out heritage and not worry abt immigrants and other bs!
GlobeArts Like all good Canadians, we should forgive Don Cherry after he apologizes and then move on. We watch him for his hockey insight, not his politics. He is very old-school Canadian and that won’t change at age 85. He clearly has a good heart but sometimes he veers off track.
GlobeArts Just put some Black face paint on him. And the CBC and Liberal cult will elect him.
GlobeArts Why isnt your article “why are some few immigrants in toronto and brampton wearing poppies?”?
GlobeArts Next question. Will he escape the so called cancel culture?🏴🇨🇦
GlobeArts Don Cherry has a history of racist& insensitive comments on HNIC. We give him a platform by watching. He has yet to apologize probably bc he doesn’t see anything wrong with this “you ppl rant”. Sad. I don’t wear a poppy, doesn’t make me less proud of our Vets or less Canadian.
GlobeArts Fire him, he’s had his day!
GlobeArts One of the atrocities of the WWII was the persecution of Jewish people and other minorities and now we have in Canada a public figure targeting immigrants on open tv. I hope something is done.
GlobeArts Does the bar we measure by include a blackface prime minister?
GlobeArts Great Don Cherry....always the best..
GlobeArts All I heard was for any who choose to become Canadian, thank you and we welcome you to participate in our culture. Please wear a poppy to show your support and understand our history. Don’t judge a passionate man of that age. Listen to his heart felt message instead.
GlobeArts The truth is never far. It’s the people who are complaining that are going too far.
GlobeArts Someone needs a reality check re: the definition of hateful simonhoupt
GlobeArts I hope they give him a raise and higher position keep up the great work ... Don
GlobeArts Good lord, what a fake controversy. He thinks immigrants should support vets and wear poppies. What a terrible crime. If the media wants someone to vilify, look no farther than our criminal, blackface wearing PM.
GlobeArts How far is too far for blackface by a leader of a country
GlobeArts Just stating the obvious - well said Don standing up for those that sacrificed more than we’ll ever know.
GlobeArts He's entitled to his opinion..freedom of speech is for all..
GlobeArts Who cares? Is he that wrong
GlobeArts
GlobeArts Cherry must go. Period.
GlobeArts “You people” is too far.
GlobeArts Do you think he cares.......I’m an immigrant, this is more about media selling ads than righteousness
GlobeArts Too far!
GlobeArts Let’s get all of the people trying to have him fired, fired from their jobs. I find you all deeply offensive.
GlobeArts The Canadian media is out to get him. They hate traditional Canadians.
GlobeArts Now do TrudeauBlackface IStandWithDonCherry
GlobeArts This is too far. Fire him.
GlobeArts Leftist politically correct lunatics
GlobeArts Leave him alone! Many times he says what lots of Canadians are thinking!
GlobeArts Don Cherry did nothing wrong.
GlobeArts Didn’t he used to always say the Fins and Swedes were soft players....if they didn’t replace him then, then what did they expect.
GlobeArts He always goes as far as needed.
GlobeArts Tell like it is 👍
GlobeArts It’s ok for Quebec to discriminate minority. But a private citizen to speak their mind he’ll break loose. godmustbecrazy
GlobeArts Our Prime Minister has been in blackface so often he refused to give it a number however Don Cherry has gone too far?
GlobeArts good old sour cherry is losing it all...
GlobeArts Thank you Don for standing up for Canada's hero's.
GlobeArts Cue a week of fake heart attack outrage on what a 150 year old man said. The posturing is so repetitive
GlobeArts Rock em sock em poppies
GlobeArts wow he didn't gush over immigrants, absolute monster
GlobeArts Let's be fair, a lot young people don't wear poppies..
GlobeArts He didn’t go far enough it seems. The Truth.
GlobeArts Don Cherry did not go too far. People just can't stand hearing the truth anymore.
GlobeArts Move on Don. Give a young person a chance.
GlobeArts He isn't relevant anymore. Lose him.
GlobeArts Liberal-minded paper.
GlobeArts 5000 Canadians are dying every year from overdoses, vast regions of the country are suffering unnecessary economic despair, my cat can get faster better health care than my daughter. Canada’s press is yelling about nasty sportscasters and one politician’s religion. WTF people?
GlobeArts cancelculture doesn’t work. chancetochange or context
GlobeArts Has just happened,
GlobeArts How far is too far for Trudeau?
GlobeArts blah, blah, blah. Amazing the outrage on this yet no one is outraged that Huawei is a major sponsor on Hockey Night....a company that has known interference in other countries, known connections to communist China UNREAL! Wake up Canada
GlobeArts Asking people who enjoy everything Canada has to offer, to spend a couple of bucks on a poppy is considered to far 😂🤣
GlobeArts if he were to criticize wexit that would be too far !!!
GlobeArts Prime Minister wears black face, alienates 3/4 of the country and deserves a pass, but I’ll be damned if we don’t crucify a Canadian legend for wanting all Canadians to respect those who fought and sacrificed all for this nation.
GlobeArts He’s an old fool.
GlobeArts
GlobeArts Dude is 86 years old... not much further
GlobeArts His time is done
GlobeArts Take out the trash.
GlobeArts How about we focus on the monsters who rape, kill or torture ppl instead?
GlobeArts Beat it, snowflakes
