Wear a Poppy, says Don Cherry
- Thread starter Durry
- Start date
I said to my native boss today,
"Hey Dave is it true non whites don't pay respects to veterans for Nov 11?, they just want a bunch of free handouts?"
He looked at me and said, "Get out of my country Don Cherry Jr".
It was a good laugh all around but one most of the people here wouldnt understand. Understand the type of humour we have.

Makes you think for sure.
WW2 started in China when Japan invaded Manchuria and I believe the Chinese lost the most people in WW2.
If they don't want to remember their dead together with us when we remember our dead then that's on them. **** em
I wish you a peaceful and happy Remembrance Day, Blackleaf.
And, as an American, a happy Veterans Day, brother.
Yes another year when the gales of November came early .Remember, remember the 10th of November.
Being that this thread was already off-track I thought I would take the opportunity to remember the 29 lives lost when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down to the depths.
Yes. One must not have an independent opinion anymore. Especially when you are right.
Alberta is where the oilsands are from, ergo, the Cree code talkers are to be denigrated for any and everything
Don Cherry fired over controversial poppy comment

I've included a link. A wussy action by Sportsnet.
Thanks for posting the link, when I heard about the firing it was fresh on radio so there no link at the time.
Yes I agree it was a wussy action by Sportsnet, I guess they don’t worry about truth, worry about feed back only.
Pretty much spot on.
Don's an icon, lots of people watch(ed) him.
Though the air time might be 'his', it's also bought and paid for by the employer. He fuked up by saying what he did. Makes the company look "Bad".
They could have asked him to apologize, but that was pointless.
So they rightly fired his ass.
BTW, very few countries actually use a poppy on Remembrance day.

So how many of those not wearing a poppy weren't because they didn't realize it was a 'thing'?
Of course because I didn't wear one for a few years, I'm now regulated as an ungrateful, ignorant waste of space person. Nevermind the reasons why I didn't and nevermind I staunchly support vets...
Well it's still a free country and I support his right to say what he did. He might have said it differently so as not to "offend" so many SJW's but then that's not Don. He's as un-PC as you can get and I admire him for that. We need to be more like him and try to get rid of this PC crap otherwise how can we have a decent conversation anymore? Too many "feelings" are killing debates and conversations all around the world. God forbid if we actually say what we mean! It's ridiculous!
