I doubt Cherry ever fretted about the fact a lot of Irish will never wear a poppy. Follow me?

well he did say exactly this:
And I said, ‘You people,’” he added. “Irish, Scottish, anybody that’s newcomers to Canada, and they should wear a poppy to honour our dead from the past, whether they’re Scottish or Irish or English, or where they come from.”

His point was about newcomers to Canada not paying respect to our historical sacrifices. Is it Don Cherry's fault that said newcomer's are mostly non-white?

While coping with a feeling of betrayal, Cherry said he has been uplifted by the support from friends and fans across the country and in the United States.
It is true. I have also received hundreds up hundreds of emails of support — many saying they will be at a planned protest at Sportsnet’s studios on Wednesday at 1 p.m.
Even former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion says she will be there and has also signed a petition which already has more than 103,000 signatures demanding that Don be reinstated.

and he said this:
“He may be politically incorrect, and may not have been as careful as he should have in his remarks, but his offence does not warrant firing.”
Howard Levitt, a Toronto-based employment and labour lawyer, disagrees. Attacking immigrants, he said, is inherently attacking people based on the national origin — something larger organizations, like Rogers, openly prohibit in their ethical code of conduct.
“Just like gender or race, national origin is a prohibited ground that you can’t discriminate based on,” he said.

anyway he was not "discriminating against" anyone. he was making fair commentary.

how about this guy quoted in the article. should he lose his job now? (he's also way off with his "boomer" attack cherry was born at least a decade before boomers)
Ryan Packman, 26, who served in the Canadian Armed Forces from 2008 to 2011, described Cherry as an “intolerable baby boomer with a habit of saying things he shouldn’t,” but thought Cherry brought up an interesting point when it came to showing respect for the military’s contributions to Canadian society.
Over the years, Packman said he’d noticed a visible decrease in people wearing poppies on Remembrance Day, which he views as disrespectful.
“There’s a reason people want to move here,” said Packman, who resides in Montreal. “It would be nice to show a little bit of visible appreciation to the people that did give their lives or watched to watch their friends give their lives.
“If it weren’t for the troops that served, then our country would be very different than it is today.”

How many of those 157k will switch their phone plan or cable service to another provider? I bet very few.
Posted 12 November 2019 - 10:30 PM
no. because most canadians think they are all mostly the same. but show me one other petition in the history of change.org with that many canadian signatures. I suspect there are none.
There are many, many Canadian-based change.org petition to have surpassed that threshold.
End the cruel shark fin trade in Canada - 313,030 signatures
Ban the Sale of Elephant Ivory in Canada #IvoryFreeCanada - 510,000+ signatures
Tim Hortons, we know you can make and use a #BetterCup! - 175,000+ signatures
End food waste in Canada! - 260,000+ signatures

I used to like Tucker 20 years ago on CNN in his bow tie days. Now his show is The White Power Hour. To save you clicking the link, Cherry says he should have said "everybody" instead of "those people" because people are sensitive to which Tucker replied, they're not sensitive, "they're fascists with no real feelings", to which Cherry nods along.
It makes me feels sick and that's not a fake feeling.
It's sick that Remembrance Day, the most solemn day on our calendar, is fodder for Carlson, Ben Shapiro the rest of the Julius Streicher fanboy club to whine about how they can't complain about immigrants like they could in the old days.
