Technically it is because he was generalizing all immigrants. Some wear poppies some dont. Some Canadian born people wear poppies, some dont.

I think personally think the idea that you have to buy a product to be appreciative and support those who died in war is ridiculous. Buying a poppy doesnt mean you care at all.

So? there are people that don't give a poop about the country and will just take advantage of the system and probably run if they're ever called to war

seems like a big nothing burger to me

It really was.

"You people that come here, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that," Cherry said.

"These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada."

Yea here, and on the Fox News comment section. 😜

the real issue is that Brian Burke probably replaces him, which would be equally as horrible

or claim bone spurs to avoid serving

I'm pretty sure commercial establishments pay more for their subs for exactly this reason.

They just have to keep their screens under 55" and the league exempts them.

My PC screen is much smaller than 55".

Agreed. It was a dumb remark that generalized a broad group of people. At the same time, I don’t think he should’ve lost his job over it if he apologizes.

I am not a Cherry fan although I did find him entertaining on some level. I watched Coaches Corner live on Saturday night. To be honest with you I came away with the notion that he was POed at everyone that didn’t support the Poppy program. The “Anti Immigrant” notion was not that obvious until you stop and read the words. This is why I believe Ron M didn’t respond negatively and I believe he actually gave the rant a “Thumbs Up” on air. Cherry has been living in the past for some time and what he said was wrong. Is it a firing offense? Unfortunately that is the Woke world we live in. If he would have offended only Veterans, Christians or working people he would still have his job today.

he’s predominantly interested in serving himself

How was it anti immigration? All he said was to pay the respect of buying the poppy.

He could have cleared it up by saying exactly that, all Canadians should support the vets

He throws in the you people who came here and gets into trouble

But he’s been against all non Canadians for ever, he rails on the Eastern European and Swedes all the time

He’s more nativist then racist
I’m sure he loves Wayne Simmonds as a good Canadian

ok mr both sides do it

Yea, Hakstol had the tough years when he had to use ice time to correct the repeated mistakes that players like Konceny and Sanheim made as young players. Helped make them better players. It's interesting that Rangers fans often criticized Vigneualt for over playing veterans and not playing young players. The inference is clear.
- MJL

I mean sure, do it with some tact though. You know your young player's family is coming to watch him play? Maybe don't scratch him for inferior players that game. Your young player's are playing well, reward them with more ice time. Hak literally said playing well was not a reason to increase ice time, explain the logic on that one pls.

I don't really care what Ranger's fans said about AV, you can clearly see that the whole coaching staff is letting the young guns make up for their mistakes.

clearly you don't watch south park RE: Douche and Turd

17 Games played 7 ROW, 5 losses, 3 OTW\SOW 2 OTL\SOL
- xShoot4WarAmpsx

Sorry man....you cant pull that poop on me. Its simple. Two teams play a game. One team wins, one team loses. Sugarcoat, distort, and spin it any way you want. Simple logic dictates if its not a win, then its a loss. 17 games 10 wins 7 loses

Ill piss on your head, tell you its raining and youll believe it
