I come from another aspect in life where I am not the type who is overly offended and triggered on other people's thoughts and opinion's. As a society we have become too soft and weak. I talk to immigrants and children of immigrants literally daily and you would be amazed how often the phrase or translated phrase "You Canadian's/ American's" have it so easy in life, or in this country or whatever. People grew up and came to Canada with serious level's of concern in life and a lot of people here have a La Dolce Vita life to them. Ironically "You people" is what got Don Cherry fired and everybody hating Ron.
For those who are easily triggered and need safe spaces in 2022, prepare yourself for when Ron MacLean is elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Order of Canada and other tv accolades. You aren't the host of the most watched TV program in Canada for countless years and part of TV history as the host of what I believe, to be the longest running TV program in the world. 35+ years and more without winning some major awards coming your way.

Why would that trigger me?
I don't like him. But on the strength of his accomplishments he will get those awards.
Which I have no issue with.
Weird response.
