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.if you look at the Canadians involved in world war one the immigrants to Canada enlisted at a far higher rate and much earlier than native born.
3500 out of roughly 600,000As did indigenous people
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.it was the lack of enlistment from Canadian born citizens that led to conscription.
So, you're saying that it's ok to condemn Cherry but we can't object or condemn Colin? The hypocrisy is well embedded now isn't it? Huh, who knew? It is a free country and Don and Colin are entitled to their opinions. We, as Canadians (and Americans in Colin's case) are "free" to condemn or applaud as we like. You are YOU to tell us differently? Seriously guy?
Has nothing to do with Trump BTW so stop with the B.S.
JMHO
that wasn't the problem with that statement.Ah crap - should read "who" are you to condemn or applaud...."
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.http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/peter-mansbridge-don-cherry-immigrants-remembrance-day-1.5354863
Do you wear a poppy?
Any of your "white," tribe buried in the fields of Flanders?
If they are, on which side?
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.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.
And how pray, tell, was Don promoting racism?
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 )And how pray, tell, was Don promoting racism?
People not wearing poppies.Whoever Da Coach was yapping about it was someone who you could look at and know who they were.
Just by looking.
And all his fans know who he was talking about
Actually he said "A poppy or something like that." Verbal diarrhea.People not wearing poppies.

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.
