So, Don Cherry was reacting to something real that he had seen with his own eyes:
An absence of poppies in Canada’s largest city.
And for Cherry, who has been fighting for years to ensure that Canada has more respect for our Veterans and those who serve our nation, that understandably made him angry.
Yet, after expressing his feelings (in a way the vast silent majority of Canadians agree with), Cherry was fired by the gutless cowards at Sportsnet.
Patriotism Under Siege
The deeper reality here is that patriotism is under siege. In fact, the real reason Cherry was punished is because he openly expresses his patriotism for Canada.
The ‘post-national’ elites are trying to crush the idea of Canadian patriotism & nationalism, and replace it with an endless stream of shame and condemnation of our own country.
Consider the fact that Canada has been accused of an ‘ongoing genocide’ by our own Prime Minister, and that we have seen an endless stream of apologies for Canada’s apparent ‘crimes.’
We are expected to feel bad about being Canadians, feel bad about our country, insult the values Canada is based upon, destroy our history, and ignore the great achievements Canada has made fighting for freedom.
Our own energy industry in Western Canada is being crushed by the Canadian federal government and radical politicians, even as imports of oil from foreign countries like Saudi Arabia continue unabated.
Unsurprisingly, that agenda of wiping out Canadian patriotism benefits those who want to keep Canada weak and unable to stand up for ourselves.
And that attitude of weakness is seen in how Ron MacLean and Sportsnet threw Cherry under the bus so quickly, surrendering to a small but media-driven outrage mob.
All of these things are connected, and things are looking very disturbing for the future of our country.
