Can we replace Don with Red Green? He's already got the whole hockey saying and everything.

LadyPictureShow posted:With Don gone, does that mean Moores is soon to follow? Don Cherry literally just goes to Fabricland, picks out some fabrics and takes them to his personal tailor to get a suit made. There is nothing professional about his suit choices. Also I went to the comments section on the Sun Media page and it was exactly what I thought it was going to be....hilarious.

Bonzo posted:The head of the Legion has come out to say Cherry was wrong and now people are calling for his head. lol goddamn Hahaha goddamn are people ever stupid. I bet a bunch of these rear end hats just wear the same poppy year after year, secured with a flag pin, and never buy a new one. The whole point of the poppies is to raise money. Showing respect doesn't buy veterans meals. They don't need your dumb symbol. They need money and resources.

Mooey Cow posted:lmao, imagine feeling proud for people involved in WW1. Probably not a single one in those graves could have accurately explained what the hell they were even dying for, except that their own governments could have them shot if they refused to fight. Canada and other overseas dominions of the Empire have a weird relationship with the Great War, and Canada has an even stranger one with WW2. The first wave of guys to go over all wanted to be more British and impress daddy England, and by the time conscription was enforced there was a lot of blowback as to why we were even bothering. The war did not have a severe impact on Canadian home life the way it did other countries, and doubly so in WW2 where we were a big contributor but our own territory was barely threatened while Britain got bombed to poo poo. So our wartime memory is about volunteers and victimized conscripts and less about the endless dead of broken empires. Then you get revisionist nonsense about how WW1 made us into a country (and ignore how that national identity was torn down by the veterans returning home) and you get jingoist idiots like Grapes who perpetuate the idea that we're a warrior nation who fight the good fight even when we don't have to because we're such a noble country. gently caress that poo poo, gently caress Don Cherry and gently caress the idiots defending him.

Blast of Confetti posted:imagine being patriotic for canada. its like being patriotic over idk geese or something Being patriotic over any nation is a bit silly when you think about it, since nations are lines on maps and cultures shift and change with regions and time. "Your country" is a mass of dirt like any other and "your culture" is just a group of people doing similar things and thinking similar thoughts and having similar traditions, which are literally people doing the same things because others before them were doing them but with more pomp and circumstances added in than usual. "Pride" is an inherently narcissistic and selfish thing anyway, but some things are dumber to have pride in than others. (I'd bet money these are all things Don Cherry never thought about because, akin to "Ugly American" syndrome he's the patriot equivalent of a used car salesman.) Whoria Discordia posted:It's mostly just being patriotic over not being America. It's like "We have our issues, but at least we're not involved in that shitshow down south. And thank gently caress for that. " Anyone who reads these words and presumes WD isn't being genuine either wasn't born and raised here or hasn't visited Canada for long. However you consider the concept of "National Identity", a huge part of Canada's, possibly the largest, is that "We're not the USA." Being in the Commonwealth with British ties equally so but seems diminished in the modern era, especially after the Cold War. Those, plus all that pristine wilderness. Study Canadian Literature, and you'll see the recurring cultural flags of "Nature", "First Nations + British + French + New Immigrants", and "North America but not the United States." (Hockey as a national pastime is a thing in the latter half of the 20th century.)

I'm sure Don is already in Florida. He'll come out next year for Ford Fest to make a long rambling speech. I bet his restaurants are going to be a GREAT place to be for the next few days.

Don Cherry is a friend of my step mothers and they do a lot of charity work together. I can absolutely confirm that he is a total rear end in a top hat in person and the racist poo poo he says on tv barely scratches the surface of what he says privately. He also never not “on,” the loud, talk over everyone stuff, literally every conversation with him, no matter how inconsequential the topic, it’s the most obnoxious thing. Like he’ll raise his voice and give a sermon if you ask him about the weather. It’s nice that he’s actually attracting consequences for something he said but I suspect he’s never ever going to shut up about this so enjoy seeing him on every network who will let him speak ranting about this.
