Being an immigrant myself that is proud to live here but in a way has a bone on both sides of the pond I didnt feel offended by Don Cherrys comments at all. I may not always buy a poppy but that doesn't mean I dont love Canada and support its troops. Too many people have thin skin nowadays and get offended at the most minute issues When Don mentioned Toronto and Mississauga this is where all the real trouble started because these two place look completely different from what they did 30 to 40 years ago when he walked the streets and most people know it. White is now slowly becoming the new visible minority in these areas, Liberals rule these areas, much of the Liberal support comes from 1st generation Canadians, control of the country is held in this area and it wound't surprise me if some of these call came from higher up then the local community especially with the CBC being involved.

He was brutal the last 10-15 years. I agree Hughson and pretty much everyone else on sportsnet are just as bad however.
