the CBC and the NHL profited handsomely from Don Cherry who put hockey night Canada on the map and was a vital part of our uni culture as Canadians for decades. I really doubt the guys a bigot in the traditional sense that people think of the word. He was pretty backwards about europeans and anyone who wasn't Canadian. He loves Canada and is a patriot.
Was he becoming a little embarrassing like my Dad and many of your Dads and uncles? Yeah for sure. but the CBC was happy to trot him out for ratings then that weasel Maclean and the cbc/sportsnet apparatus turned on him when the woke mob came , frothily , for blood. I don't think I'd vote for a guy like Don Cherry for PM but that doesn't mean he's a bad person or some hateful biggot.
It's a disgrace what happened to him.
