DON CHERRY IS RIGHT ABOUT REMEMBRANCE DAY POPPIES
Don Cherry is right.
More Canadians should be wearing poppies.
And new immigrants to Canada must be taught about our Remembrance Day traditions, be it wearing a poppy or observing a minute of silence on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Don Cherry must not be censored or de-platformed simply for speaking out on behalf of so many patriotic Canadians — including new Canadians. Aren’t freedom of speech and freedom of expression just a couple of our cherished freedoms that so many patriots gave their lives defending?
But Don Cherry is under attack, especially by those in the Media Party who have always loathed him. They want this national icon off the air and relegated to the scrapheap of obsolescence — simply for making an observation about a troubling trend he'd noticed. These nattering nabobs of negativity want you to believe that Grapes is a racist, but anyone who has dealt with Don Cherry knows this is an outright falsehood.
And where was the outrage from so many in the media when it was discovered that Justin Trudeau had donned blackface and brownface on multiple occasions, so many occasions that not even the Prime Minister knows for sure?
They defended his behaviour, or at the very least, ignored or minimized such odious actions. Clearly, those calling for the removal of Don Cherry from Coach’s Corner subscribe to a different standard when it comes to a personality who leans right-of-centre.
This is wrong, as is the vulgar politicization of Remembrance Day. On this day, we should be honouring those who died, those who served, and those who continue to serve. That’s what Remembrance Day is all about — not some grotesque witch-hunt to de-platform someone for the sin of being politically incorrect.
