Hey, wait a minute---it was a 'crap' team yet they were beating the Leafs by 4 or 5?? What does that make the Leafs??😁😀🤐

Thx--I just e-mailed them. I'll see what their response is.

But they identified the exact amount I had paid and the company i had paid it to.

I bought tix on line using Paypal. QA few days later I got a txt msg saying that my payment had not gone thru and to log on to the seller's site and pay again. I phoned the venue and they said everything was hunky dory---payment had gone thru. My basic question--what the hell?? Also curious how they got my cell #.

This is cribbed from the internet and is not aimed at anyone in particular, so don't take it personally. It might give something to think about though---a mile in someone else's shoes and all that.. ==================================================================- "Notice how it's white people who tend to say "people these days are too sensitive. Remember when people could say what they want and people were thick-skinned enough to not freak out?" Here's the thing: such times never existed. What you actually remember is a time when you could be an my father to people who society systemically discriminated against and they were too afraid to tell you that you were being an asshat because, if they did, society (including the police) would take your side and punish them for standing up to you. What you're experiencing now isn't people being "too sensitive." You're experiencing a time when sufficient equality exists that people can now safely tell you what an asshat you are."

Not true---I already posted above that I think DC has done some quite good stuff. Hater?? A difference of opinion and 'hate' are 2 very different things. I didn't mean to offend you with that clock comment. I have a weakness for smart assed comments. It's just that the silly 'logic' from your fictitious(I assume) incompetent lawyer didn't merit any detailed response. You do have a point about cutting people some slack when they mess up though. Sportsnet and the general public prob would have cut him some slack if he had offered an apology instead of a 'clarification'----did not seem very contrite. I don't buy this 'leftie' vs 'rightie' business when it comes to people taking offence. It wasn't the 'lefties' who object to the Arabic being shown on police cars in London a few years back. (Heck, if they disallowed Arabic they would need to replace 911 with IX---try that on your cell!😁) Racism is the the right word. Not to nitpick, but the experts class the people from the Indian sub-continent all the way over to the European sub-continent as being of the same race. Those brown skinned Indians are the same race as the whities---Google it! '

My thoughts entirely----sounds like that lawyer is eager to have his clock cleaned!!

Ouch---painful to imagine!!

unlike the previous incumbent!!

there is some truth in that. Like OI said, I don't think anybody is doubting DC's patriotism or the good work he has done. I understand that he has done quite a bit apart from those with the troops. But that's not the issue here. Standing up there on TV and spouting off leaves himself very open to criticism. Can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen and all that tommyrot.

You are quite right about immigrants being white. So what magic crystal ball did he use to determine that fewer immigrants wear poppies than those born here? I am quite baffled as to how he could do this!!

Dont forget Viola desmond

So where did he get the idea that fewer immigrants wear poppies than those born here?

Hundreds here but I’ve only counted 7 poppies so far. The problem isn’t “you people”. It’s “we people.” #remberanceday PS you can buy poppies here. Even in bulk. 11:08 AM - 10 Nov 2019

Correction, OI. It was Jmeyer, not LA, who made that leap.

a little topic drift, eh???

Agreed---right or wrong, everyone seems to have an entrenched position so it's pointless to fling more arguments back and forth. Pull the plug, mods

Don is a very popular guy. I bet his new book-----The Wrath of Grapes(The Don Cherry Story) will be a bestseller.

Yup---that is pretty clear.

a bit delusional doncha think??

Again---nothing to do with any right of free speech or expression. If the mods don't like what you say on here they have every right to kick you off. If you are offended by what guests say in your house you have the right to kick them out. No different from Rogers and DC. You are free to say what you like but you are also 'free' to suffer the consequences----something we experience in day-to-day life.

I vote for lynx too
