I appreciate that. I think this issue clearly goes beyond what sports team we cheer for.
I think that Don Cherry seems genuine in his support for the military and I don't fault him for that.
Unfortunately when you use skin colour and assume anyone with a different complexion is an immigrant, that makes that line of thinking racist. To go even further and say that by not wearing a poppy, those same immigrants are choosing to be disrespectful is false. They may not be aware of the tradition and Remembrance Day should be a good time to educate and re-educate the importance of the DAY not the poppy. I would rather 100 people skip out on buying a poppy and go to a ceremony instead, or go to the local Legion branch and spend 5 mins just talking with a vet.
Again, those are your rights. No one should tell you what you can or can't do.
Where the hell does this come from???
Who mentioned skin color?
