He wasn’t “just” nationalistic, and anyone who is pretending he was just a product of his time is being stupid, he was criticized repeatedly for his comments over the past 30 years. There are articles from the 90s of Don’s controversial bigotry. People who think it was ever “OK” just want to excuse their own past and present.

Can't you just disagree without insulting people?
I personally think he was so pro Canada that it got cringey ... said it above.
No need to refer to me or others as stupid, nor infer we are trying to cover for our own indiscretions.
Just disagree dude. I don't need you to agree with me or others.
