Keep shoveling that dirt Don... soon, any positive impact you may have been remembered for are going to be buried under an avalanche of mocking memes...

Here's Tucker Carlson blessing someone "to continue their fight against the global tyranny of the Metric system"

Time to trade in the clown suits for the Fred Perry Proud Boys Polo, Mr. Cherry.

Ron has had to literally sit through decades of Don's bs. Decades of it. I can't help but think he just zones out and takes himself to a mental safe space whenever Don rants. He probably gave a thumbs up, nodded and moved on without even knowing what Don had said until watching a replay.

So yeah that seems to clarify what his true intent was. He meant what he said.

I begrudgingly tuned in a bit late and the first thing I heard Tucker say was "fascists" and had to nope out of there, hard.

LOL, I want to go on a serious tangent here, but I'll just leave it at this.

The Metric System simplifies conversion and makes the mathematics of scientific calculations simple. Compare that to the arbitrary and inconsistent imperial system. Anyone count up how many chains they travelled today? Any furlongs or leagues? No, I didn't think so. That's because those words are meaningless in the modern world. Not to mention the Metric System has been around since the late 1700's. This isn't some new fad Tucker, it's the way the world works now. You might want to get on board.


Ugh...Fox News is like a cornucopia of stupidity, and literally the worst place Cherry could go to garner support for his cause amongst Canadians.

Tucker Carlson claims immigrants pollute the purity of the United States.

So Bobby Orr is apparently a big Tucker fan too. That's sad.

Having different opinions is not "sad" it's what our veterans fought and died for. Freedom to have differing political, religious and personal beliefs.

I think Bobby's going to distance himself from Cherry over that. The Orr Group has a big stable of active player and prospects.

Pretty much ends the "Team Orr/Team Cherry" set-up for the 2020 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.

It’s absolutely sad when people you respect let you down with poor choices and being on the wrong side of history / morality.

Unless of course Orr is just a fan because of what a nitwit TC is.

Predominantly incoherent as ever in that interview. He was right though that the big cities change and the small towns don't change as quickly, which is a real source of the tensions and divisions we see now.

Having differing opinions is great.......unless it promotes intolerance, racism, bigotry, etc. I don't have time for that. Tucker is Tucker, we know who he is. Hearing Bobby Orr is a big fan just makes me think less of the man, that's all. So yeah, for me it is kinda sad that a guy I've looked up to for so long is a fan of someone who promotes things I find really terrible.

But what I really would like to know is...why hasn't the Metric clock yet been adopted as our primary source of time telling?

I'm sorry that this is I couldn't resist bringing up Metric time though.

Why are people surprised old WASPs seek out news programs that confirm their biases? Isn't that basically Fox News' entire business model?
