I , when I heard it 100%. Thought he was taking about immigrants I did not put a colour race or gender to the word immigrant and I believe a lot of people posting here think the same

Yes, so if you are an immigrant and don’t wear a poppy. He was talking about you. anyone else upset is looking for an excuse to be racist against an 85 year old white man

Have to agree with that. Don never mentioned or implied color/race.

...and there it is. Everyone has their own interpretation of what Don said. Of course the snowflakes that are so sensitive to absolutely everything will jump on this and think it's racist. Perhaps they should look up the word racist and read it's definition before using it in a sentence.

ok here is my problem seems I don’t understand the new meaning of words ,is it because I am old or because I am a wasp but when I say “you people”. I mean the people I am talking to or about when I say “immigrant “. I mean someone who has come to this country to me it is non gender, non political, non religious , no race , no language implied nor country of origin but some people seem to think they are talking directly at them It to me it is what it is maybe it is time for a new dictionary

How come it seems only people of south Asian decent are angry? Last I checked Mississauga & down town Toronto is home to a rather large population of Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Indian/Pakistani, Persian/middle east & every other country on the planet yet it is the south Asian's that have taken this to heart the most. I haven't watched hockey in quite some time & truth is I only really watched Coaches Corner for the banter back & forth between the 2 waiting for MacLean to get in his "a-ha" jab at Cherry. I know this is a touchy subject but honestly, look at Don's demeanour & posture, even his tone of voice is somewhat muted, he not at all aggressive like some racist or Nazi would be when spewing that nonsense, he's speaking from a passionate place. Bad wording on his part no doubt & yes he should lose his job over it but lets please stop throwing around the "racist" term, it will lose its meaning if we keep attaching it to everything we don't agree with. And yes freedom of speech is not a Canadian thing (just ask the English in Quebec...jab)

I'm not sure what you mean by this , are you implying that people that live in trailers are ignorant racists? Oh, and just so you know " Although Sportsnet desperately attempted to limit the damage, the vast majority of reactions to their post was negative. In the statement’s comment section, Thousands of tempestuous hockey fanatics (some of whom would’ve grown up with Cherry), made their feelings known!

I would 10/10 roe crust the heck out of that thing. Beauty piece Spiel.

No but I've heard a large grizzly bear sniffing at the side of my tent!!! 😮 That's a real sphincter tightener!!!!

I think we've all said our peace, I'd suggest an admin just lock this thread and we can go back to talking about heated guides and when we can start icefishing

The Bahamas got it really bad but Bermuda took a pretty good hit too from what I understand, trees down, roofs blown off, flooding. It may be fine now but I think I'd want to be sure before I planned a trip there this soon.

I still don’t see anything that makes me think he was talking about people of colour I guess you can read anything you want into just about anything

Hey Matt Save me a seat for the parade .

I have learned after all these years, if they are going to freeze up, sleep in and go later in the day.LOL

How are the Sens doing Matt? 😜

Don Cherry said...“You people, that come here”. So he is addressing people that have come from somewhere else. He says that he sees those people walking around Mississauga and Toronto. How does Don know who is an immigrant or not? It’s not like “New Canadians” wear a badge with that on it, he is talking about visible minorities. So Don is making assumptions about people based on the color of their skin, can’t think of a better description of ‘racist’ if I tried.

And I remember when you use to get banned here for just posting "FnA" !

Automatic line threader/hook tier!!! I hate squinting!!!

A few big pike to add to the collection. Some real beauties from various members.

When discussing topics like this, I always like to keep in mind that I was just "luck of the universe" not born into a war-torn country. I could've very easily been born in Afghanistan, escaped in desperation with my family, and ended up in Canada, rather than being lucky enough to be born here. Nothing more than luck that I was born to my parents and not another set of parents. Many of the people immigrating have experienced war firsthand, and live with the memories every day. I'm not going to fault someone coming from a situation I know nothing about for either not being aware of the meaning of a poppy, or choosing not to wear it because they just came from war and choose not to relive it. I was born here, I'm certainly aware of how pivotal our veterans were in Canada BEING such a great country, so I'll wear a poppy every year and make sure I donate a reasonable sum to the poppy box when I purchase one. I mean, if you want to get mad about something, get mad at people who pull into a store in a high end Range Rover and drop a quarter into the box. Personally, not something that I let bother me, but if I was going to get mad about something around poppies, that'd be what would grind my gears.

Some little critter. Maybe a young rabbit or fox of yearling deer whimpering? I do some coyote hunting, and my electronic call has several distress calls that sound similar to that. Some sort of distress call.

Heard the same sound last week deer hunting. A fox yowling is my guess!

YOU PEOPLE You and you and you and you and ME. YOU PEOPLE Warm milk and honey. Great stuff. The greatest D man you will ever see.

Learn to ice fish, the ice fish, Jer. LOL
