It’s your right to, of course, but your points are not effective or sensical and contribute very little. I think you can do a lot better than this (because I’ve seen you have some pretty informed points as a poster before this).

You know you can attack my ideas without making it personal, right? Saying "you're wrong, you don't know what that means, etc." doesn't push the discussion. I could counter with "neither do you", but I don't bother because it's equally pointless.
I know I'm largely wasting my time talking politics to posters who predominantly live in a country I left 25 years ago. Hell, I suspect my political perspective now is alien to most Canadians who have fully jumped on the speech code bandwagon. I generally avoid the non-hockey boards on this forum because, in my opinion, they only permit a narrow one-sided political perspective, which has become the norm in Canada. Which is fine, if you like having your views reinforced and unchallenged, then that's likely a safe space.
Canada, and especially Alberta, used to have a wide political spectrum. Every time I come back to visit, I find it a bit narrower than before. Not to say the same isn't happening elsewhere in the world, it most certainly is, but I still find it both sad and disturbing.
But if we all just want to tow the line and proclaim Don Cherry as a racist who should be made an example of and to hell with critical thinking, then that's fine by me. I don't come to this forum to convince you otherwise, so just as well.
Back to hockey talk.
