who's here after Saturdays poppy comments LOL
I don't even watch hockey or live in Canada. This guy is a treasure.
Glad he was fired.
a real canadian wouldn’t accuse another of not being a real canadian checkmate

@@pwest1011 You're not terribly bright, are you? I'm sorry.
Comments allowed on CBC ? What's this about ?
That is unusual they usually censor everything. Well at least hasnt come to thought police at 3 in the morning pulling you out of bed for reeducation.
It's a technical glitch, enjoy it before it's noticed.
Go goice them somewhere else. UA-cam is not the only avenue you have to share tour opinion. It has no bearing on your free speech. Go talk about it elsewhere, go protest, or make your own media outlet. Or even make a sign and put it on your lawn lol.
Their scared tryn to see how big the backlash will be.
CBC loves Canadian tax dollars but loathes Canadian opinions.
‘The people who drink the beer agree with me’ -Don Cherry
This video has more comments in the last few days than the last four years!
UA-cam forced into users suggested videos because Cherry was in the news. It is as simple as that.
People are searching for stuff like this too so it pushes it up the algorithm
Hello algorithm, nice to see you working.
You must be American
@@Morgothlord47 explain yourself
@@Jhossack this is huge news in canada where Don Cherry was recently fired for his views on the poppy. The remembrance day to wear a poppy. He was fired for his view and it is one of the most pressing things in canada.
@@Morgothlord47 that still doesn't explain your "American" comment
@@joc8092 why the hell would an American be concerned about Canadian hockey drama?
wow the cbc used to be fun
a true national treasure. disgraceful what they did to him
You mean this account that posted the video did to him 😂
So after watching him in the early yrs, he talked exactly the same then as he does now ??, so why did they fire him for just being Don Cherry 🤷♀️
When the Rogers execs see the viewership of HNIC crater this coming Saturday. I think they might revisit the issue.
Mari Schwab it’s a new time.
they did. the fucs.. rogers did. then cbc ran this hit job
you aren't allowed to go against the mainstream leftist narrative, this is one of many warnings that you better toe the line or you will be "cancelled"
@matt white Many cancelled Rogers services. Yahoo news and Toronto Sun ran polls and 70% believe Don's firing is unjust. There's a petition with close to 300,000 signatures requesting Don be give his job back. Also, it is political. People are fed up with being scared to speak due to how out of control PC has gotten and all that other crap that's been shoved down our throats for the past 4 years.
It’s so refreshing to see two people who disagree so strongly get along so well.
I miss the honesty of the 90's, from both sides in this video.
metav3rvse This about as close as it got to honesty..... they could trade shots from both sides and go home and forget about it.
@@duncandmcgrath6290 It's unbelievable how PC and cancel culture has killed that discourse - the evidence is here, debate without fear of repercussion .
Yep, you could tell they could disagree but still like and respect each other.
@@metav3rvse I honestly think that the aggressive nationalist "blame the foreigners" attitudes from ppl like Don Cherry is what created such a pushback from moralists/historians/leftists or as some put it "PC culture". THROUGHOUT HISTORY PPL HAVE WRONGLY BLAMED THE NEWCOMERS FOR WHICHEVER SOCIETY'S PROBLEMS. Over and over and over again. Wrong everytime. French, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and British to name some but not all. Now, its Middle Eastern and Muslim HUMAN BEINGS. Walls and xenophobic nationalist hockey fucks won't eliminate global PUSH and PULL factors. Go read some geopolitical studies and peer reviewed history/geography books... ffs🤦🏻♂️
@@duncandmcgrath6290 crazy. People still do that.
His wife was, by all accounts, a saint of a person, and not because she put up with him.
A Nationalist that loves Canada not a Globalist.
Nationalism is a huge enrichment. It feels great to love who you are, your own people and your way of life.
People on the left today hate western culture - I suggest they go live in South America, Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe - have fun!
you guys watching this in 2019?
Just stop, boomer.
I knew they were taking our milk and honey, but are fish? Ohh those buggers.
No you people
" i can' t stand criticism"
Because its his job!
Nobody does if they are honest
@Chris Richardson if you say so
Chris Richardson Sure thing sparky
@Chris Richardson I can't stand it either even when I'm wrong
That last joke was some high qaulity comedy. Don is a legend!
...ary asswipe. Yup.
and they said irony was dead
“6 foot 3 - 215 pounds and doesn’t like fighting imagine that.” 😂
Lav 91 loL sounds like he’s bummed not to see a big strong dude duke it out
The most amazing thing about this is CBC has its name on this and can't censor this! Biggest complaint I keep hearing repeatedly about CBC. State television with highly censored message boards.
The interviewer Malling was only 44 here! He looks 64.
cherry was 55 and looked 75, what's your point?
White people age like milk...
Everyone looked older in the 80’s/early 90’s
RIP Eric Malling
Trump stole this guy’s act.
true. guess trump is going to be fired. ummm I don't think so..
Trump would never be fit to play hockey - especially in the minors
William Langley at his age! Nobody would 😂
Logan Leslie he is in the process of being impeached dumbass
@@tenniswilliam He criticized his last two predecessors, but at least Bush and Obama made the effort to exercise when they had the time. His last exercise may have been when he was playing baseball in high school. Bush has an MBA and Obama has a law degree, which are advanced degrees, which beat Trump's Wharton's Economics degree, since it is more difficult to obtain a Harvard MBA (Bush) or a Harvard JD (Obama), even though Wharton is a prestigious school, it probably isn't quite up there with Ivy League Harvard. As for Trump being impeached, unless enough Republicans vote for it in the Senate, it's not going to happen, unless he win in 2020 and the Democrats get enough votes in the House and Senate to do it.
Don was proud and always stood up for Canadians, stood up for veterans. He gave Canadians grit, authenticity, hockey lore, and an identity to be proud of. This man is a Canadian treasure. Love you Don.
Unless you were from Quebec, then not so much.
I have such a love and respect for this man. Sure, I may not agree with every single word he says, but he is definitely a no nonsense, tell it like it is, man. There are very few of his breed left. I learned a lot about hockey and life from Mr. Don Cherry.
The canary in the coal mine died a long time ago.
In this current political environment it’s sad to see him go. Someone who kept it real, whether you like him or not, agree/disagree with him, we can all admit it was nice seeing an authentic individual who didn’t censor themselves to please the majority
Its actually to please a minority.. theres a large silent majority
Ryan Gilbert sorry I should have worded it better. By majority I was referring to t.v organizations like sports net which are majority left wing company’s
CANADA changed. He did NOT
But Canada got change for the worse

The segment with his wife and Blue 2 is the true Don. Silent and smiling. The man speaks his mind but that little clip shows his real heart. A genuine dude at the core. What a unit.
What I find interesting is why this was added 4 years ago by CBC and how UA-cam generates their algorithms to make sure this is one of the first videos I see. Take it in context, but oh wait, that’s asking the impossible considering what happened 3 days ago.
nobody searched don cherry or clicked on the video until now lol
Probably the fact that some keywords lined up with the current “controversy” and the title of this video, so it might have been high up on the search results when you look up “Don Cherry immigrants”. It started getting more likes which triggered the algorithm to make this video show up in recommendations for people who had recently watched a video about Don Cherry.
Colleen Draper they're spying on the comments
He sounds like a boxer version of max Bernier lol
Almost 30 years later, this interview has much to offer. In light of Sportsnet letting Cherry go (Nov 2019) the questions at about the 6 minute mark make this exchange weirdly prophetic - like his forced retirement would be inevitable.
Amen
He deserves better than shitnet!
Pretty funny how he made it this long, but I always did like Cherry. The last line at the end of this is absolute gold.
I’m a child of immigrants and neither me or my parents were insulted by anything he said in his poppy rant!
@Tom F Wow "Uncle Tom"? That's rude of you. My parents are also immigrants...and guess what, my dad is on team Cherry. Sure he's abrasive and rude, not defending that. But people are entitled to their opinions and shouldn't lose their livelihood over it.
@Tom F Because he is a child of immigrants and doesn't agree with you that makes him an Uncle Tom? Typical balaclava wearing putz.
@Tom F a guy named Tom calling someone a Tom. If you're a white dude, we got problems Tom
dante venneri That means you probably didn’t understand what was said. If you’re a European immigrant he wasn’t talking about you. You look the same as the majority population, how would he know you were an immigrant?
And you should respect people that were insulted by it
Go back in time Canada you forgot who you are, just two guys going at it they ain’t hurting no body but themselves..
Get behind it
Don Cherry got fired. I wonder what would have happened to him if he had worn black face and had a picture taken of himself with his hand on a woman's chest?
He needs to join the PPC
I love Don. Makes me laugh. Speaks his mind. Even if I disagree at times, its funny. Canada first. This video seems to degrade him. Makes me love him more lol
In an Alternate Reality , Hillary is President while Cherry is PM.
Glyn probably be more entertaining. I bet US and Canada would be the best of friends or bitter enemies, nothing in between.
Don Cherry for PM.🇨🇦
What a fantastic interviewer; insightful, aggressive but also warm and collegial.
The interviewer is a jerk
@@danielupsdell2697 And Cherry isn't? Lmao

Don Cherry. A true Canadian, and a heck good one.
I love Don Cherry even more after watching this video......
You must be a trump supporter then

I certainly am a Trump supporter..
That's exactly what I was thinking.
@@artificialspirit5814 You must not be a trump supporter
Move away plz , or go back to another century were your brain belongs.
Living in Buffalo, I went to the "Grapevine" many, many times. They were mini museums with all the great photos hanging on the walls. First went to Fort Erie..... when they closed, I was heartbroken. Started going to Hamilton fairly regularly, for several years. Actually met Grapes there one night! After the Jays won the World Series, the franchisee turned the place into LA Batts. Sucked! Not knowing what happened, took a couple buds there. Ordered about $100 worth of food and drink. I'm looking around in utter shock and bewilderment. Waitress bring the food and booze..... I say to her "What the hell is going on here?" She gives me the speech about the changeover. I was so distraught, I said to the guys " Let's go!" They thought I was nuts. I couldn't stay another second. Put 2 $100 bills on the table (American, I might add), and said, "we're outta here!" Called information and found the next closest location in Mississauga; we drove there and all was right with the world! Never set foot in Hamilton again!
hey buds....come on back to the hammer....times have changed....
why is the narrator talking like hes the man .... without don cherry this guy would be an unknown.!!!
Here's Don Cherry in 1990 in blackface.... oh no.. sorry, that was that other guy, the leader of our country.
lol
msk msk 30 years ago*
Lolololol
what a beauty
Trying to justify your decision to fire a guy in 2019 by playing stuff "you people" happily aired in the 90's.
Not wise propaganda. I see the comments aren't disabled on this one. I suggest you people read them.
CBC Rogers and Sportsnet should be boycotted.
Cherry & Hockey night in Canada had a massive impact on my childhood (watching from the late 90's through mid 2000's). That said it's probably a good time for Cherry to retire. We live in a different world controlled by PC culture and far left media who like to fire and dox people to assert their control/power. It's a different world. Cherry is too real for our PC, controlled speech culture. He should start a podcast.
@Steve Jarvis People on the left are even stupider. They'd rather use their feelings and emotions instead of logic and facts.
Steve Jarvis You’re calling other people dumb and you write conceded, not conceited. Ironic no ?
@Steve Jarvis Cherry said he shouldn't have said "you people" as he meant everyone. Said he would apologize on sportsnet, but was fired instead. So you don't know wtf you're talking about. Just asserting your ignorance.
Isn't he a true Canadian. He's great!
he's alright in my books , what a lovely family too
That's a great book. One of my favourites. I wonder if you did that on purpose?
@@number7717 not at all what book are you referring to?
William Golding's classic Lord of the Flies. That your avi picture, isn't it? Lol that's funny as a coincidence.
@@number7717 oh i see now. yes it has many great covers! Classic novel :)
Don Cherry
Make Canada Great Again!
MCCA Make Canada Cherry Again.
Its 2019 and look at what we have done to this icon! Cant wait to see the crap thats going to happen by 2020!
@Wylde Oz you must be severely uneducated..
@Wylde Oz Yeah, he is the best president ever.
'You ever hear of a preposition? '
'Who's he play for?'
Lol, gold
This might be the greatest hockey related video of all time
Great story. Thanks for uploading this. Loved it.
Thank you CBC for all the years. I grew up watching Don in Sat nights from NY State.
I miss listening to Don Cherry so much. Why the heck would Hockey Night in Canada fire him??? I thought Canada was better than that. We miss you “Grapes”
Gotta admire Cherry for his values.
I wish more Canadians were like Don Cherry too,.. I want to live in the timeline where Don was in Parliament
Thanks for uploading. I watched this as a kid and have been looking for it for years. Gold!!
My grandfather is in this video at 5:37!!
Which one
Love it! "Canada first and Canada only".
I thought that was a Don Cherry imitator at 0:01. His voice is much different at 85.
So will yours be you dunce
Imagine a time when you could say what's on your mind
4:35 you've activated my trap card
Love his bright eyes! It was a long time and Molson was HNIC's sponsor! I wish the Molson era existed longer.
Now, this is journalism! Tough interviews, excellent portrait work, disagreement but mutual respect. There goes my thumb up for this vidéo.
I thought I was going nuts there but apparently the cbc does disable comments normally lol.
I never liked the guy that much before, but wtf I love Don cherry now
They did eliminate "Stickwork" in the late 90s
really
Tell that to my groin.
@@spudwesth You're in the NHL? Cool, what team?
Titus McCarthy Clearly you don’t watch hockey.
Love Don Cherry!
I think he was 58 at the time
"I wish more Canadians were like me"
Show Don some respect,he earned it , this country needs more Don s
I like don cherry's canada instead of the one we have now.
He said it himself, I'm pro Canadian and not Anti-soviet. For 1990, this isn't hurtful.
3 million people watching and Don lost his job because of a few thousand snowflakes. That's the society we live in today.
They're not snowflakes. They aren't offended. Don't be fooled by that. Liberals have turned into evil, sadistic bullies that get off on slandering and destroying people. I've met enough of this type to know that they aren't really experiencing any genuine pain. They just like to remove other people's rights for kicks.
It’s true they are not actually offended. They use that as a shield while they strike you down.
JOEYS GEAR The company fired him. Not all liberals wanted him fired. Stop trying to create some dumb narrative where things can easily be put into these black and white categories. Neither conservatives or liberals are that simple.
Free speech, those were the good old days
He’s right.. country’s should put their citizens 1st!.. just saying
Cherry speaks his heart and gets fired. That creature on the CTV specifically targets white males and she's given a pass. That shows what's wrong with this world. GOOD LUCK getting me to watch hockey night in Canada again.
Every person that gets old wants everything to be like it was when they were in the best part of their life and he just can't accept the reality that things change and I totally understand I know the days of Mr Dressup for kids and old school hockey are long long over.
"Whats his name?"
"Alpo Suhonen"
"Never mind"
Brian MacLellan has a beast on his team now....Mr. WIlson!
After seeing old You Tube videos of comments from Harold Ballard, Don Cherry's last comment on CBC in 2019 before he was fired was actually very tame compared to many of Harold Ballard's comments. It brought back vivid memories of Dave Hodge's firing from HNIC in 1987. Ironically when Don Cherry was interviewed back in 1980 in a CBC Documentary of Harold Ballard while he was Coach of the Colorado Rockies he actually admired Harold Ballard. Was he trying to get a Coaching job with the Leafs in the future?
It’s called humour. What about al the good things he’s done
Do you feel the same about Michael Jackson?
Cory Kottick umm, wow? Possibly the weirdest comparison I've ever seen.
@@number7717 don't give him attention. My God it is depraved to eauate standing up for your country to child molesting.
Something tells me this guy don't like immigrants 😂
Lazy, entitled ones
No one does
Hey, CBC... Do the hockey-viewing, hockey-loving, and God-fearing folks a solid... *BRING BACK DON CHERRY, WITH MORE PAY AND BENEFITS!!!!!!* You're welcome!
Don Cherry is an iconic Canadian. My question is why is free speech taken as hate speech and racism. Permit me to say the the Street Preacher was also condemned and lambasted for free speech in downtown Toronto. How do we compare Don Cherry and the Street Preacher with regards to free Speech. This raises debatable questions as Canadians.
He became much more tamer and gentle after his first wife died. You have to realize the time this was recorded. The World was much different in North America back then from today.
Thanks for a mature statement Bill, you should see 1 year into the future.
MAJOR Comb-over ALERT... at 7:40
Don Cherry is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 his comments where spot on about people not wearing Poppy's
This is a real Canadian.
CBC should flush itself down the toilet.
It would splash all over your brains.
I'm Canadian Japanese and I must that I agree with Cherry on a lot of points here.
@Derka Derka That's not true actually. There is racism in Japan sure, but their customer service is top notch and puts Western countries to shame.
I wish he was our Prime Minister now...things would be a lot better in this country. People would stand up for what is right.
I was coming from work one day downtown Toronto and saw Don Cherry, the friend I was with (who was also of colour) said “Hey it’s Don Cherry” and he actually said hi back to us and waved. This was back in like 2013.
He’s a man stuck in his ways, not that he’s a horrible person but his way of thinking he doesn’t want to change, like most people 60+. He’s definitely got some Trump-like traits 😒
CaapriceTube There’s a lot to be said for putting your country first. Why wouldn’t you ?
Um hello, based department?
we do have our own Donald... "Canada First"!
We just managed to be rid of our "Donald" before the Murricans. Yay us!
@@briandesormeau2643 So what, no one is allowed to criticize immigration without losing their job? What a dystopia.
@@john__lemon and you are thin skinned
@@john__lemon Lmao look at 'Mr. I have no legitimate arguments so I'll insult this person instead'
@@EdmontonRails He wasn't "criticizing immigration," he was singling out immigrants and shaming them for not wearing a poppy, when hundreds of thousands of Canadians don't wear poppies either.
Now that I think of it, last Saturday might've not only been the begining of the end of HNIC, but also of regular fighting in Hockey as a whole.
Don Cherry is a Canadian icon a legend a Canadian patriot ❤️🙏🏻. Stand with Don Cherry
So people think it's unfair to bring up something on Trudeau from 20 years ago (Blackface) but it's legitimate to bring up things from Do Cherry 30 years ago? Double standard hypocrites.
A true Canadian Legend
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure the original title of this video was just "Don Cherry (Fifth Estate 1990), and they edited the title to benefit from the clickbait nature of this story. Oh well, at least they opened the comments for a change.
His specialty….? “THE SUCKER PUNCH!” 😂 😂 😂 wasn’t expecting them to say that about Don Cherry lol
