Is he wrong though?

In my lifetime its never been allowed to be white and proud.. i get that... but now canadian pride is extremely conditional

Did both my great grandfathers die for this country to be forgotten and walked over?


I'm not going to debate wether he's right or wrong, especially at 1AM 😅, I was just stating that he missed the point in his answer

Good n8 y'all.

He was def out of touch with the times

But all the same these times are completely out of touch with reality.

Change my mind...


I live in Toronto and i bet it's the least Canadian place in the country

But here we act like toronto is the epitome of canada.

The racial segregation is killing the city. In the 90s, people used to talk to each other regardless of their racial / religious backgrounds, now we have way more people yet everyone is stuck in their own community ignoring and despising the rest, feeling lonely. Waiting for opportunity to point the pc finger of hypocrisy.

Diversity is our cancer.

I know we had a moment of silence at 11am

Did you guys?


What are you even talking about lol.

He clearly targeted immigrants; it's not like 3rd generation white people are wearing them, either. Also possible new immigrants have no idea what a poppy is whereas that's obviously not possible for anyone who was raised in Canada.

This has nothing to do with you not being able to be white proud. Nobody is disrespecting your great grandfathers, you're just choosing to miss the point. Nobody argues against the poppy or remembering veterans

It's the way he says it.

+ this has nothing to do with hockey, he was way off topic on this one. You can't go on tv say racist remarks.

Don Cherry fired for discrimination against immigrants "you people... that come here.." being the cause of low poppy sales on national televised hockey panel. Sounds more like it

I feel like you answered your own question here.

A anyone who isnt native to this land is an immigrant. I felt like he was targeting not only immigrants that in fact mostly shit on canadian values, but also the people who are seeming to forget why they have rights/ freedom in Canada. But lets ban talking about christmas and being proud about an old tradition yet those same hypocrites dont mind taking the paid xmas vacations/ bonuses.


B 3rd gen white people do wear the poppy.. educated/ respectful/ proud canadians wear the poppy. Liberal/ anti establishment/ easily offended cry babies dont wear them.


C new immigrants do know what the poppy is because most of them come from war torn countries and lobby to have the poppy removed out of sight because the idea of war hurts their feelings.

The focuse is that his comments were "Divisive" yeah the GTA he and i live in is the most divisive city in Canada... lmao

So what are you even talking about?
