Ralph Klein’s Tories used to dominate the Provincial legislature, holding over 90% of the seats, and you think Alberta is becoming progressively more politically narrow? You’re going to have to explain that one.

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.
"Toe the line." Sorry. I just don’t see a lot of evidence for critical thinking in your responses here. I am still waiting for a cogent defense of how Cherry’s comments can be construed as anything but racist. Some posters have suggested he probably didn’t mean what he said, despite his own fierce insistence that he meant every word. If you think Cherry is being unfairly treated and mislabelled, then convince me.
