      Apropos of nothing, there were 80 new appointees announced to the order of Canada a couple months ago. I bet the average Canadian would recognize about three of them.

      It’s honestly embarrassing he hadn’t had this award before today. Same with the Order of Canada. Instead they keep handing them out to hundreds of people you’ve never heard of.

      I never really loved or hated Cherry. His cancellation after the „you people“ remark is one of the low points of cancel culture.

      Personally as canadian born indian guy I had a love hate relationship with Don Cherry

      I sort of felt Don Cherry gatekept hockey as a white canadian sport 

      However coaches corner was iconic canadiana that we dont really have these days. Each week 10 20% of the population would tune into hockey night in canada…etc etc.

      His comment in 2017 where for that time rough

      But by 2026 his commentary ended up valid…a lot of people who have come to canada recently dont have any attachment to canada vs people who came before.

      About time.

      Dude raised millions for cancer and veterans charities and spent many days over seas with troops and many many millions tuned in each week to see his face.

      The dude was Canada, our identity for many years….and I would love to hear him talk about the Europeans in the league today

      Whether I agreed or not

      (I do, they pansy up our game lol)

      will this be the first Order of Ontario acceptance speech that has to be on a 7 second delay?

      Him getting canceled for people assimilate to Canadian culture was one of the dumbest things in the world. People who pushed for him to be fired really need to go outside and interact with other people. Bunch of online losers who think everything is racist.

      Ok.

      He was a major cultural icon for decades and deserves the accolade. He was ousted at the right time and I don’t miss him.

      The weirdest thing about the Don Cherry incident was the almost instantly backlash Ron got from the degenerates in this country. Rob is just a host and is great at his job. All of a sudden he gets criticized for *checks notes* not supporting the awkward senile ramblings of an out of touch former hockey coach. I was not surprised by the Don thing. Ron getting dragged into this to this day is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever had the pleasure to try to understand.
