Don was an 85 year old man when he lost his job - he overstayed his welcome. He won’t be the first, he won’t be the last.

Let’s not act like Don Cherry’s actual contributions to the world aren’t a net positive. In charitable efforts alone, I’d guess he’s done more to help people than this entire forum put together.
