Hockey fans, players react to Don Cherry's firing over poppy comments

Ron MacLean should start a new career in pro wrestling, as “Ron The Weasel”.

Francois, I agree that we should be educating people who are new to Canada about our traditions, culture and history — Indigenous, French and English. If the government isn’t doing this, they should be — but your suggestion to give out poppies to people without one and explain why we wear them (or remind them) is a good one.

OF COURSE they are nervous, if not afraid. Who wants to be fired or bankrupted? The only place we can safely express our opinion now is in the voting booth, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the secret ballot taken away before long.

I nominate Ron MacLean for “Captain Canada”. After all, his qualities are truly representative of what much of urban Canada has become.

Québec Premier François Legault mentioned that he often saw Don Cherry whining about francophones.

Francois Donneur, you should apologize for getting out of bed this morning.

If the CBC would have listened to Quebeckers complaints against Don Cherry starting in 1998 including Rejean Tremblay complaints asking Don Cherry to apologize for rants against French Canadians nothing of that would have happened. Don Cherry would then have learned to be civil with minorities. But I see on this site that a lot of people are uncivil even though it is forbidden. I have received countless insults instead of responding to my arguments but as a, Christian I forgive you although it does not change my perception of Western separatism. I am glad we are in a country where all main politicians are polite contrary to the US who has gone really down.

Rejean Tremblay, the famous sportscaster and creator of the TV series “He shoots he scores” “Lance et compte” knows Don Cherry personally and is the first to say that Don Cherry has gone off the wall on Québec and the CBC said nothing not even asking him to apologize to French and English Quebeckers. Now Rogers fires him because he says something about Toronto and Mississauga immigrants. What does Toronto and Mississauga have that Quebec don’t? As I said before Apologies would have been sufficient. Anyway I prefer to see TV series by Rejean Tremblay than listen to the anti Québec and anti francophone crap.

I already said if you see a loved you without a poppy give her or him one and explain. As for WEXIT lovers they should have been very ashamed to have disrupted the CPAC during the remembrance day ceremony transmission.

As for the view on Don Cherry and Québec asks Rejean Tremblay the famous Québec sportscaster what he thing. Shame. Shame. Shame and Shame.

As for Bernier he should have apologized during the Couillard affair when he put national security at risk as Minister of foreign affairs.

I support the Ottawa mayor whose meeting with former Governor General Johnston today was troubled by an anti francophone group called CFL. Francophones have to fight even in Ottawa… SHAME

I love Don Cherry I watch Coaches Corner and I support you on every word.Coaches Corner will not be the same again.You are the reason I watch hockey night in CANADA and well when Toronto and Montreal come together now that’s a hockey night in Canada.We are going to miss you and your wardrobe as well.I you Don take care😔❤🤗BYE

Frank ought to be ashamed of himself, he’s not representing his fellow Quebecers very well.
Sounds really triggered. I guess he is terrified of the trough drying up… and why would he be attacking Grapes? To Quebecers I would like to say, ‘you people’ shouldn’t let someone like Frank speak for you. It looks bad. We know ‘you people’ are not all asspoles like Frank here. That also goes for immigrants who exhibit, arrogant, anger and annoyance at nothing. As shown, many don’t have chips on their shoulders because the cbc told them they should. To the terminally offended, “You people” shouldn’t be so easily offended, and ‘you people’ should learn not to follow what the cbc tells you that you should be offended by. To the self righteous liberal progs, I say the same thing, ‘you people’ should get a life’ AND WEAR A POPPY to show respect and gratitude for what you have.
Darn Streisand effect. ‘You people’ really ought to know better than to label innocent words and phrases as verboten.

Francois you also said Quebec hydroelectric was green energy . Please read what methane gas does in the atmosphere . So is it green , NO

Francois what the hell does what you say have anything to do with the under handed way Quebec treats the rest of Canada and the treasonous politician coming from said province .

He’s going off the wall now. Its time to haul him off stage.

Mark the Québec federalists have fought successfully the Québec separatistsvin 2 referendums and the majority of MPs are federalists. At the same time we will fight all hate speeches against Québec or French Canadians all over Canada. There are also still fights to be won like a University in Ontario or an hospital in New Brunswick. Don Cherry hate rants against Québec did not help Canadian unity.

The homicide rate in Canada has decreased by 44 % between 1975 and 2016. This is a fact and you cannot argue with a fact.

The homicide rate in Canada has decreased by 44 % between 1975 and 2016

Overall crime rates decreased by 23 % between 2007 and 2017. Overall homicide rates decreased since 1975 although Western province s have the highest rates.

Overall crime rate has decreased in all provinces by an average of 23 %. The lower crime rate per 100 000 people are in Québec and after in Ontario.

The homicide crime rate decreased since 2975. Statistics are available. Those are facts. Also you cannot judge by names if a person is an immigrant or a second generation Canadian. Moreover the list of wanted person persons are for the ones that disappeared and it does not includes the persons being caught.

As for the plains of Abraham and lord Durham French Canadians showed that demographics and perseverance permitted finally to have an equal footing in the Confederation after decades of being told SPEAK WHITE

Hey franswaa….apologizing for telling the truth is only a sign of weakness. Apologizing to save ones hide is even a bigger sign on weakness……ever notice how often the sock puppet in the PMO has apologized.

Francois you are so full of you know what . The PPC was held to a higher standard . Your Liberal MSM never gave air time and tried their best to not even mention their name . They were called racists for wanting to reduce immigration and close the border to illegals walking in . Quebec is letting these people in and sending them to Ontario where the tax payers in Ontario pick up the tab . Trudeau subsidises Quebec and screws Ontario . But when the Block wants reduced immigration it’s all good because we know Quebecers aren’t racists . In the words of our twit PM they are just better than anyone because they’re from Quebec . The French lost the war on the plans of Abraham and it was only the mercy of the British that they weren’t wiped off the map . Or Canada would be a totally different country today . So quit being a hypocrite . You have a separative party and a prejudice PM all from Quebec so please give it a rest .

Francois Donneur commented: “Actually although we had a stronger immigration, the homicide rate have diminished in Canada since 1975.”
I guess you’ve not seen the latest stats (actually going back to decade & a half), certain areas of metro cities in Canada have become more dangerous than Chicago. If you are so certain of lower crime in our cities take an evening walk through the neighborhood of Surrey, south/east Vancouver in BC or Scarborough, Brampton, Mississauga, Toronto in ON. It’s not a coincidence that cities with most immigrant population have the highest crime rate in Canada. Neither is this an anomaly that almost all of the most wanted criminals on Toronto Police & RCMP list are new immigrants.
Toronto Police List:

RCMP National List:

Check it out and see for yourself after 1990 the list is dominated by mohammedans, blacks & so called new immigrants.

The real scandal was the CBC paying a high salary for a guy that spits venom on 25 % of the Canadian population. Rogers should have make him apologize but if the CBC had integrity already 30 years ago nothing of that would have happened.

Don Cherry used his well paid post in the CBC of 1 million per year to spread anti Québec feelings accross Canada. And the CBC did nothing to make him apologize. No wonder that the rednecks and I use that word correctly because it is what it is, no wonder the rednecks were so happy with Don Cherry unchecked rants. Don Cherry behavior was unacceptable as was Trudeau but at least Trudeau was man enough to apologize.

“Actually although we had a stronger immigration, the homicide rate have diminished in Canada since 1975.” says frank plant.
Oh for sure. Canada’s cities today are like almost as safe as New York and Los Angeles, anyone can see that. If you want to go there Frank , we’ll start pulling up T.O. rap sheets. Do you really want to go there?

That Frank is so delicate he would melt in the rain.
So why is it that Don Cherry is held to a higher standard than Canada’s Prime Minister .

There was on this site falsehoods disseminated by immigrants and crime rates.

Actually although we had a stronger immigration, the homicide rate have diminished in Canada since 1975.

Most Canadians are fringen tired of anti immigration whinings and the only anti immigrant party, the PPC, got less than 2 % in the 2019 federal election.
