Now I know the true meaning of remembrance day.
Is trying to spot how many non-white people are not wearing a poppy.

"Immigrants should wear a Poppy to show respect for the people who fought for our freedoms"

"What about the freedom to not wear a poppy?"

"... FUCK YOUR FREEDOMS! SHOW SOME RESPECT!!"

Wearing a poppy is a sign of respect.

Khadr got $10 million and an apology. Most veterans are lucky if they get a "thank you" on Remembrance Day.
Khadr got $10 million because his government abused his rights as a Canadian citizen... The very same rights (and freedoms) that you would claim that our soldiers fought and died for during the 1st and 2nd World Wars (and probably any wars beyond).

So most people of all stripes do not wear a poppy.
I see thousands of white people every day walking around the city with no poppy on. But it doesn’t look as though they are being criticized.
People only see what they want to see.

Report: Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet over ‘you people’ rant

Report: Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet over ‘you people’ rant
– National Post

By National Post Staff, The Canadian Press
Originally Published: Nov 11, 2019

It was reported Monday afternoon that Don Cherry has been fired from Hockey Night in Canada over recent remarks that caused uproar.

Cherry, 85, had singled out new immigrants in Toronto and Mississauga, Ont., where he lives, for not honouring Canada’s veterans and dead soldiers.

“You people … you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that,” Cherry said Saturday night. “These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price.”

Sportsnet apologized Sunday for Cherry’s comments on “Coach’s Corner.” The outburst sparked a swift backlash from the public, politicians and the National Hockey League.

The Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington tweeted Monday that he had been told by Cherry that he had been fired. Cherry is reported to have told Warmington that he was hurt to be fired today of all days, given it is Remembrance Day.

It emerged Monday that the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council had been so overloaded with complaints about the hockey commentator’s rant that it hit the limit of the organization’s technical processing capacity.

“The CBSC has received a large number of very similar complaints concerning Coach’s Corner broadcast on CBC (Sportsnet) on November 9, 2019, exceeding the CBSC’s technical processing capacities,” the CBSC said on its website.

“Accordingly, while the CBSC will be dealing with this broadcast under its normal process, it is not able to accept any further complaints.”

The CBSC is a self-regulatory organization created by Canada’s private broadcasters to deal with complaints from viewers or listeners about programs they have seen or heard broadcast on a participating station.

Coach’s Corner is a popular segment on “Hockey Night in Canada,” which is broadcast on CBC in a sub-licensing deal with Rogers Media, which owns Sportsnet.

Cherry did not respond to phone calls seeking comment and has not publicly apologized. Segment co-host Ron MacLean apologized Sunday evening.

“Don Cherry made remarks which were hurtful, discriminatory, which were flat out wrong … I owe you an apology, too. I sat there, did not catch it, did not respond,” MacLean said. “Last night was a really great lesson to Don and me. We were wrong, and I sincerely apologize. I wanted to thank you for calling me and Don on that last night.”

Sportsnet president Bart Yabsley had provided a statement on Sunday morning.

“Don’s discriminatory comments are offensive and they do not represent our values and what we stand for as a network,” he said. “We have spoken with Don about the severity of this issue and we sincerely apologize for these divisive remarks.”

It wasn’t clear at that point if discipline might be forthcoming ahead of the next scheduled “Coach’s Corner” segment on Saturday.

A message left with a Rogers Media spokesperson requesting an interview with Yabsley and/or Rogers Media president Jordan Banks was not immediately returned.

Most veterans weren't held without trial for 10 years in Gitmo.

That there's the difference. It's not about how nice or likeable you are or whether folks would have you over for dinner. It's about whether your constitutional rights were infringed.

The dude "Miranda" - as in "Miranda Rights", the US term for reading rights on arrest of a suspect?.... Miranda was a mafia boss charged with multiple contract killings. Got off because his rights were infringed. Not because he was a nice man.

IMHO, rather than "you people", Don should have said "all people in Canada", since we all enjoy the freedom that those we are to remember and honour gave us.
I Agree.

As one other poster pointed out, that freedom extends to being able to choose whether to wear a poppy or not.
Unfortunately you're right, people have the freedom to not recognize and support the sacrifice so many veterans made so that they would have that freedom in the first place. Ironic.

Fucking gutless maggots at Sportsnet.
I can't believe they'd stoop so low to fire him on Remembrance Day.

Freedom comes with responsibility, the methane narcissist never took any for his actions. Now his grapes got crushed.

Maybe now he can take a history lesson.

Honestly, I know it's not "Politically Correct" to say it.. But nobody died for our freedom. And if you really believe that nonsense, then I have a bridge to sell you.

Both World War 1 & 2 were fought by Canadians alongside Russia, the most autocratic and authoritarian regime in Europe at the time (both as the Russian Empire, and later Sovient Union).

At no point did The Triple Alliance (WW1) or Axis Powers (WW2) indicate that they had any intention of taking over the world, thereby putting Canada or the United States at risk of being subjugated. One might argue that Hitler toyed around with the idea of world domination, but it was never an official plan of the Nazi Party.

Instead we fought for the "freedom" of the French & English, both of which maintained massive overseas empires themselves (collectively resulting in hundreds of millions of people living without "freedom").

If we were fighting for freedom during WW2, then why did our side indiscriminately kill hundreds of thousands of non-combatants (civilians) through the "strategic" terror bombing of cities?

If we were fighting for freedom during WW2, then why did we stop fighting for the "freedom" of so many nations that were forced to live under authoritarian communist regimes once the war was over (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, etc.,.)?

There is no doubt that many of our soldiers died heroically during each war. There is no doubt that the Nazis were evil as fuck. But that doesn't mean anybody died for our freedom.

Neither World War were a war for freedom. If they were wars for freedom, then we most certainly lost those wars.
