But that’s what I’m saying. The recent immigrants don’t follow the tradition yet and Don is upset over it.

Is it fair to expect the same degree of understanding of Canadian history from recent immigrants? Probably not. It’s probably wrong for Don to expect people to understand the meaning of the Remembrance Day the moment they land in Canada, but if he meant, “be more respectful of Canadian history and try to assimilate “, I can understand where he is coming from. bacause, trust me, many recent immigrants have no interest in assimilation; it is a fact. However if they want to get ahead in Canada, they can’t stay that way forever, so most people (or 2nd generation at least) come around after a while. Don sees people before they realize it’s to their own advantage to assimilate and gets frustrated because he feels they don’t respect the country they’ve moved to (yet), it’s entirely ok. His actual wording, left a lot to be desired but that’s don.

Thats also to assume that people come from areas that dont have conflict themselves...To wear a poppy is symbolic to remembrance.... some of these people might want to forget. Be happy with the people that do wear the poppy, and the stories they share with new Canadians etc should be how the tradition is passed. Not forced remembrance.

TBH im done with the poppy.... its a never ending justification for war and propaganda. Ive lost friends in Afghanistan, i had gramps in ww2 and great uncles in ww1... both the wars to end all wars until rich nations realized what kind of profits can be made with conflict. WW1 and WW2 you had to go....it trully was a war on freedom.... people that join the army today is by choice and no, it is not to fight for our freedoms.... far from it.

aslo assimilation in canada is silly to say. Canada, is what? We have the benefit to be made up of many different walks of life. Dons old tired white privilege narratives are tired. he is stuck on this idea Canada is a white christian nation and any people other then that mold are not true parts of the make up of "Canadian identity"

There are plenty of young people that don't want to be 'global citizens'.

Younger people are more open to change. It is the product of their times.

And everyone doesn't have to be okay with change, the majority of people have to.

I thought as society we moved beyond all the tribalism/nationalism stuff..

It’s divisive. Most bumhole Canadians I know are established white people

That’s what old ppl/boomers do, it’s what they’ve always done. Casual racism and maintain the status-quo. People don’t like change because they’re most comfortable with how things are. But young people will always want change, it all depends on who holds the balance of power, and boomers are in a very peculiar situation..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

you're doing exactly the same thing - generalizing "old ppl/boomers"... yup 'cause they are all exactly the same...

there's plenty of ignorant wieners in every generation / age range - from old guys "yelling at kids on their lawns" thru generation XYZ "who refuse to be labelled" and who learn how to spell outrage before they learn how to spell logic.

its hilarious

Canada wants to be diverse.

We want people to feel comfortable in participating in their cultures.

It goes too far sometimes but it will never be perfect.

My view is that if you don't want to adapt to the culture of your receiving country, you better not come to that country.
That includes in particular learning the new language asap, and leaving your own country's religion and traditions behind - and change them for the receiving country's ones..

So Don Cherry isn't racist because he has a black friend?
- Scabeh

Richard Spencer has many black friends. It's why he, as a racist, wants to enslave them!

Sorry to break it to you but this is the exact opposite message that Canada is trying to get across

It sorta is..

Folks 55+ grew up with a different philosophy.. fwiw I not putting the blame squarely on them, and all this racism stuff takes a back seat to climate change deniers..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Canada was always renowned for not being racist. You realize it was Boomers who legalized the current immigration policy right? The migrants living in hotels not withstanding.

Racist Canada started with Trudeau expanding to meet UN demanded migration rates and then calling anyone who questioned that policy a racist. Obama did the exact same thing. It was used for political cover.

I saw Campbell in previous seasons as well, including some AHL games (recaps). WC as well.
He's just very meh.
I agree he's better than Hutch - but Leafs actually need a guy that can play more than 20 games.
- MaximusAurelius

He played 37 games last year 25 wins on a kings team who couldn’t win anything.

Also kings goalie coaches are masters at rejuvenating a goalie i.e. kuemper. 😬

Again, I’m in no rush to trade him I just figured TOR desperately needs a better back up and could be a trade option.

I don't think that's ay more quantifiable than stating that older generations are less apt to change. You guy need to understand it was Boomers who wrote all the diversity into law. Yes. Old white men legislated more diversity into Canada.

This is true.

Signed for 2 years after this one. I’d definitely say it’s an option. It’s fine either way by me though, traded or not. I just want to see Petersen up and stay up.
- KINGS67

I'd gladly take Campbell as a backup.

He's a better option than any other goalie that would be available.

he simply should have said - that all Canadians and all people who want to be Canadian should learn about Canada's history, its traditions and why certain holidays exist - what they commemorate. Remember Day exists for a reason - find out about it. Support the veterans and the memory of veterans passed.
- BorjeFan4Ever

I concur with the wording he used should of been better.

They made a good decision.

changing from an iPhone 6 to iPhone X ... isn't changing

changing from playstation to XBox ... isn't changing

changing from a car that doesn't have a back-up-camera to one that does - isn't changing.

changing from non-shaped skis to shaped skis - is a good thing - but it ain't changing.

I get it... recycling... we've changed, cause we separate paper and plastic now.

moving out of your parents home or "off their payroll" is changing... moving back in again isn't changing.

change implies that you know that something you did or are doing could be replaced/altered to be done differently.... which means you actually have to have done something previously...

what have the millenials changed? and won't even bother asking about the GenXYZs...


I can't want (insert sarcasm detector here) for this one

You guys are missing the point. Its not about wording or the opinion. It's about the platform.

Coaches corner is a segment for hockey fans and freaking kids. Leave the PC topics flat out of it. Half of us that are adults only stick around for these intermission shows because it's one of the few places on earth you're not going to be subjected to pissant political discussions anymore.

More hockey less immigrants please.

racism is not a generational issue.

looking only at the US... who are most of the Skinheads and NeoNazi's you see on TV? are they 50+ year olds... or are they 20-30?

what do think the drug gangs are filled with... young guys, white, black brown... whatever... follow the intellectual area where's the most anger and frustration... usually young men... accompanies the greatest degree of stupidity and immaturity.

hint: it ain't old guys.
