The full transcript of Cherry's response reads:
"You people love—you, that come here, whatever it is—you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you could pay a couple of bucks for a poppy or something like that. These guys pay for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada; these guys paid the biggest price."
I think it was a slip. I don't think Cherry intended to say "you people that come here," but he said it most likely because that is what he believes deep down.
In the
National Post article I posted above he confirms that he meant what he said, and I understand that to include the slip. I think it is actually very telling.
