Wear a Poppy, says Don Cherry

Taxes , taxes , and more taxes . Tell us how you single handily brought about the downfall of soviet Russia .
You mean British immigrants? You bet. However, in general non-Whites were not welcomed into the military. And French-Canadians weren't exactly leaping to join up to fight Britain's war either. Although to be sure, some of them did. There was also an all-Black construction battalion and a handful of Japanese soldiers. On top of that approximately 190,000 foreign-born males were not eligible to enlist because they were "un-naturalized" Canadians.
3500 out of roughly 600,000
Yeah after 3 years of war. A total of 600,000 Canadians volunteered during WW1. An additional 120,000 were conscripted from 1917 on of which only 47,000 actually went overseas. Of course conscription might not have been necessary if the friggin' French weren't such whiny shits.
Christ dude, do you ever get anything right? Your attempt to re-write history is pathetic.
Cherry's message wasn't wrong. He probably could have phrased it a bit better but it wasn't some racist rant either as you panty wastes seem to think it is.
But ya know what's really interesting? A group of sub-moronic whiners got Cherry fired and yet just a month ago, the same perpetually outraged PC brigade re-elected a sexist dipshit for PM with a history of cultural appropriation and wearing Black-face.
that wasn't the problem with that statement.
The problem was conflating someone who lost their job for promoting racism with someone who lost their job for protesting racism.
Young men of all nationalities, mostly conscripted and forced to fight on pain of execution, then killed in battle 70-odd years ago; why would anyone now thinking about their deaths, care which side they were on? And what difference does a fake poppy make? Apparently it can mask a lack of tolerance for others.
Curious indeed.

And how pray, tell, was Don promoting racism? He was promoting wearing the poppy. Only an intellectually deficient leftard could jump to the "racism" conclusion". Like I said, maybe Don should have dressed all Bollywood and wore Black face. Then you dumb f*cks would want him to be Prime Minister.
So to sum up, the term "you people" is racist when referring to immigrants from everywhere but being a sexist and engaging in cultural appropriation and wearing black face are admirable qualities for a Prime Minister.
That about sum up your pathetically hypocritical point of view?
To be scrupulously fair (why not?
) I think he was expressing 'immigrantism' rather than promoting racism (although he may have been completely happy if promotion of racism resulted )

I think Don Cherry should have a show called, “Immigrants Corner”, then give the immigrants an opportunity to tell us how they are contributing to Canada.
I for one would like to understand why we hardly ever see a visible minority driving a domestic car??
If they are so great, why hasn’t our automotive industry flourished with the high Immigration levels, why are we supporting foreign designed cars ??

Uh oh.....................
I think your quote about 47,000 Cdn conscripts going over
seas dates from WW2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it was only in the last 6 months of the European war that Cdn Zombies- conscripts actually reached the front lines!!!!!!!!!!!
WW2 PM LIE-beral Mackenzie King even campaigned on the
slogan :: "not necessarily conscription but conscription if necessary"!!!
LIE-berals DO LOVE those weasel word slogans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And in the end he was forced to start sending Zombies overseas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first Zombies went into supply units and anti aircraft gun
batteries - meaning places where they would not be directly shot at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the endless infantry casualties eventually pulled about 10,000 Zombies into rifle companies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
