His opinion is akin to the meme "old guy yelling at clouds".
I am an immigrant and a vet.
I really don't give his comment any validation.
He should have been gone years ago for many other ridiculous xenophobic comments he has made.
Today HNIC is better.

Totally fair, but the guy was voted the 7th Greatest Canadian in a nationwide poll and held a 30+ year segment within a cornerstone cultural program on the most wide reaching network in Canadian media.
Personally, I agree with you, but Don Cherry is substantially relevant in Canada, so his comments have to be given measurable validation whether we like it or not. He's simply not relevant in the same way Abe Simpson is to The Simpsons' universe.
I'm glad his thoughtless comments didn't negatively affect you, but unfortunately we can't dismiss the guy's sociocultural influence.
