[Guest PPC2019]

Do You think Don Cherry should sue for unlawful termination, and demages caused to his reputation?

I don’t think that he should’ve been fired, but I don’t think he should sue either.  There’s probably codes of conduct in his contract with a lot of latitude given to his employer.  I don’t think he’d have any grounds for legal action.

[Dougie93]

Suing for your reputation is a libel suit, in those cases, truth is an absolute defense, so if what was published about you was true, you don't have a case.

[SpankyMcFarland]

He’s Don Cherry - his employers must have anticipated an exit like this and worded his contract accordingly.

I guess that multiculturalism is truly working in Canada today. Most Canadians, especially the new ones from the other world do appear to not care about Canada's culture, traditions and ways of life anymore. The old Canada is slowly dying off thanks to liberalism and multiculturalism and that suits the leftists liberals and socialists globalists in Canada just fine. It's now all about the rest of the world's cultures and traditions that are more important to promote and preserve in Canada today. But I think that if this is allowed to continue on, there may just be a backlash one day against all of this anti-Canadian nonsense going on in Canada today. One like myself can only hope that will happen before it really becomes too late to do anything about it. Just saying.

There is no Canadian culture, there Is the Quebecois, and there was the British.

In the 1960's, starting with Pearson, the Liberals began to erase the British in order to appease the Quebecois.

This did not work, but they none the less erased British Canada.

That void has simply been filled by America.

From what I have been seeing and hearing lately these past few days is that there are a lot of Canadians out there who are behind Don Cherry. I am one of them, and proud to say so. Don Cherry is a true and real Canadian patriot and he is very big against political correctness which Cherry has found out now that this PC nonsense has gone way too far for it's PC britches in Canada. Cherry did not say a thing that should have been seen as being racist. Canada has become a sad pathetic offended country where no ones sensitive feelings should be allowed to be hurt. Question or challenge any ones sex, religion, race or culture, and the government will sic their PC dogs on you. Stand your ground Don Cherry. There are tens of thousands of Canadians with you, although the Canadian MSM will take that support as meaning that there must be more racists in Canada today then they ever thought. It looks like the MSM leftist liberal media is not getting their message across that all patriotic Canadians should just keep their politically incorrect mouths shut. Go away "you people" in the fake Canadian MSM media.Works for me!

As you say, there is the Quebecois, and then there is the dying out of the British people in Canada. I might as well try to become more of an American rather than try to be a Canadian anymore. In America one can see real and true patriotism. Americans will always shout out loud these days at many sports and Trump rally events the words "USA" "USA". I do not believe that I have ever heard at any event in Canada people shouting out loud Canada-Canada. But if they do start to do so then it is just the same as always in Canada. Copy what the Americans do. Canadians have become quite the copy cats of what Americans do. Maybe English speaking Canadians of British/European decent are more American then they realize.

Only the Quebecois want to become more a part of and make themselves feel that they are now a part of France and not Canada. Quebecois are not Canadians. They are Quebecois, and want their own french country in North America. I say, give them what they want, and get the hell out of Canada. I am tired of being blackmailed by Quebec who tries  to pretend that they love Canada but in reality they hate the rest of Canada's guts. The problem is that they just refuse to go. I guess that Quebec likes to get to constantly steal more money from Alberta. What can the ROC do to try and get the french to get the hell out of Canada? The thought of not having to see anything bilingual anymore anywhere else in Canada works for me big time. Billions of the ROC tax dollars saved by not having Quebec around anymore. Can anyone here come up with something that can hurt their french sensitive feelings so bad that it will make them leave the ROC?  Help me!

You are an American already, all your views are American, you have already adopted our ideology, you are not British anymore, you are one of us now.

[Dougie93]

Bear in mind that while we do not welcome third world illegal immigrants, those Canadians of European stock who would defend and uphold our constitution, are of course welcome in the republic.

I do not think that I would have a problem with British Columbia becoming the 51st state of the union. It's probably long overdue. Just saying.

I have to admit that I may have bought a Remembrance Day Poppy once or twice in my life time and that was it. But after this Don Cherry incident the very next day I went and bought a Remembrance Day Poppy, and donated two bucks for that poppy.

I am mad as hell as to what was done to Cherry by Rogers. It is quite obvious to me that Rogers is a part of the liberal elite establishment, and has become just another oh so politically correct business, and very much anti free speech. This just goes to show us that these liberal outfits like Rogers will show no loyalty or have no mercy on anyone who dares to say something that appears to be offensive, racist or politically incorrect while employed with Rogers. You get fired, now. No defense allowed. Decades ago, if someone said something offensive or racist it was believed that the person who said something offensive or racist it was accepted as their right to say what they said and it was left at that.

It's funny how the MSM can get away with saying the word Nazi, which if I were of German decent I would find someone using that word offensive, but yet the MSM says that word all the time and they get away with it. No one in the MSM would dare call someone or say the word "Jap" because that would be seen as being offensive towards an identifiable group of people. But yet it is okay to say the word Nazi which one would think that maybe German people of today may find that word offensive to them. Yes/no?

I'm annoyed that we live in a society that celeberates revenge politics and celebrates people geting fired. You're job is your personhood, and no corporation should violate your pesonhood. I think some good will come out of this incident. People will start talking about having more checks and balances, so this sort of thing can't happen again. I often like Ezre Lavant on rebel news, because he's a hudge defender of free speech.

We can get offended all we want... but we have to live in a society that leans healthy way to blow off steam. Fireing someone isn't.

I mean where will this go... will we start arresting people for offensive content.

I don't think the left is aware of the dangerous territory their entering, and someone needs to remind them why we have to protect free spech. I see you're passionate about a few issues, and unlike other things said about you... You do moderate yourself.

Maybe you should do a TedX talk, or consider going to UBC to give a short speech on the dangers of overreaching political correctness. Yes it's a little bit of work, but i've done things in real life... and occasionally it can be rewarding.

[Guest PPC2019]

I guess i'm wrong. No one should be forced to applogise. They should be forced to clarify. "What do you say to the people who think you should've been fired?" Don Cherry "F@ck Em"

It was totally disgraceful what they did to Don Cherry. The time has now come to take on political correctness and eliminate this anti- free speech bull chit once and for all. When a man like Don Cherry gets fired over nothing then you know that you or I could be next on the attack list. No one today is safe from political correctness anymore. I have no problem being offended. I will fight back, and not try to have the person that offended me get fired. If one is offended, well grow up, you are living in the real wold now, and not living in a utopian non-offensive dream world where we must all just walk around and smile at each other all day long, and not say a word to someone for fear that it might offend someone. Our hate laws and the HRC needs to go. They only exist to go after people who offend other people. Could looking at someone in the wrong way one day now can get someone into trouble these days? Hey, you never know, eh? This is the new Canada that we now live in today, don't you know. It's nice to be able to say, why can't we all just get along. But that is never going to happen here in Canada or the rest of the world. There will always be people with built in hate and saying offensive things to others. live with it. Just my opinion of course. 

[Dougie93]

The guy who spray painted the cenotaph openly admits to it, explains his motivations, says the firing of Cherry was the inspiration.

 

[Michael Hardner]

Good for entertainment workers who have finally made enough money to say 'fire me !'

 

Nobody should feel sorry for Cherry's big mouth or gaudy suits.  He's 85, so goodbye.  Same thing happened to the Dixie Chicks

[cannuck]

I have ignored Don Cherry for decades, since I have no respect for stick and ball nonsense.

BUT: when he spoke his mind - and carefully at that - and gets fired over not being politically correct, he rose into my circle of those who I can respect.   At 85, he doesn't have anything to prove, and after that many years, you know yourself well enough, but not everyone has the stones to stand up and be counted when it matters.   He does/did.

[Dougie93]

I don't even agree with Cherry,  I think Canadians are the anti-military peaceniks, not the immigrants, I think the poppy is an empty gesture, meaningless social convention

I also don't support the police as he does, the police are not like the military, the police are a public sector unionized entrenched interest, totally corrupt.

But he has always been down for the troops, and he's a great dog lover, so he's alright by me, I won't throw him under the bus over a difference of views.

Anyone over 30 should know better. Are you in you over 70? You're can't fire someone for giving a politically-incorrect opinon.

Maybe I think you have a big mouth. I still wouldn't ask for a person like you to get fired. Your work, is your personhood.
