It’s not even a long stretch, it’s not even applicable as the legislation pertains to protection from actions of a government. And what actions of government did Omar challenge in the Supreme Court? In summarizing the wrongs committed against Khadr, the Supreme Court said “the interrogation of a youth detained without access to counsel, to elicit statements about serious criminal charges while knowing that the youth had been subjected to sleep deprivation... offends the most basic Canadian standards about the treatment of detained youth suspects.” 1
wkrp Posted November 17, 2019 Report Posted November 17, 2019 Don Cherry is and was a great hockey commentator and i don.t understand why he chose to paint himself with the same ideals as our southern man with the same first name. Lockdown I,m sure

As far as the wrongs committed against Khadr I'm sure some of the veterans that fought for this country (not against) Cherry was defending went through far worse without a 10 million dollar payday. I wonder if Omar bought a poppy? 1

Omar Khadr won his case because the Supreme Court seemed the Government to be in breach of laws that protect the freedoms of every Canadian, the very freedoms that people continue to sacrifice their lives for. 2
grimsbylander Posted November 17, 2019 Report Posted November 17, 2019 How I’d love to see who would stand up for Ron McLean right now if he got fired! Coward. 3

He FD up big time Strange that nobody complained for the last 30 years when he visited Belgium, France and countless cenotaphs here in Canada. Or, did tributes to fallen Canadian soldiers on Coaches Corner. Or did Remembrance Day segments every single year during Coaches Corner. So last week he said something that offended the pc crowd a bit and that was enough to undo decades of devotion to Canadian soldiers??? Give me a break...name another Canadian celebrity host that honoured the Canadian military sacrifice 1/10th as much a Don Cherry did. He had EVERY right to go there. That show was HIS and if the networks wanted it to be 100% hockey...they're 30 years too damn late to whine about it now. 8

aplumma Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 No so far no one has sent a report that it is going wrong. If people don't report an issue I am inclined to let things run if people are not attacking each other. Art 1
cisco Posted November 18, 2019 Report Posted November 18, 2019 Good man Art. I only wish the NHL Players Ass'n would muster a petition among its members to bring him back. No interviews with Sportsnet til then.Anyone else can interview them but that outfit.

There was nothing to complain about Grimsby because he didn't go off script and I'm sure he was paid handsomely to make all these trips. I don't think Mr. Cherry reached into his pocket once during any of those visits. And he was definitely being paid to recognize Remembrance Day while on TV and he did a good job doing it and I enjoyed it. I wonder if Don Cherry ever considered Military service when he was a young man? From Coaches Corner to Omar Kadre now? Talk about a stretch Limey Angler, you surprised me.

Guilty I am, sorry fellas I got off track with the charter talk. I'm was never a huge cherry fan but firing a colour commentator for colour in the comments speaks to the sick political climate these days. The pc crowd is going to far and screeming racist to end a debate is destructive and cowardly. 2

I'm not going to search through videos, but I can remember Cherry getting choked up a few times over the years when he's commemorating a soldier or veteran. I've watched coaches corner forever, I think it's genuine, from the heart, it's a topic he's passionate about, and rightfully so. my take on this- "you people" referred to people who are new to Canada. New Canadians are from all continents, hundreds of different countries, and have every possible skin colour, white, purple, whatever. I don't think there's anything wrong with Don asking them to show some respect and appreciation for the older generations of new Canadians and Indigenous people who DIED, GAVE THEIR LIVES in war, so now we can all enjoy this great country. I find it sad that Cherry who stood up for a lot great causes, and was a proud Canadian, will now go down in shame because of political climate crap. 4

So where did he get the idea that fewer immigrants wear poppies than those born here? Mark CritchVerified account @markcritch FollowFollow @markcritch More Re: Don Cherry - I’m at a Costco In St Johns. It’s whiter than a snow bank. 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 1
