Historians will mark Cherry’s firing as the beginning of the end of Canada.
"You people who come here, you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you could pay a couple of bucks for a poppy."
5 years ago, Don Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada for these comments.
He was right then, and even moreso today. Even Ron McLean agreed with him at the time as you can see in the video. That is, before he stabbed Don in the back the next day.
The woke knee-jerk reaction of letting him go was a big mistake, Don Cherry is a national treasure!
His entire Remembrance Day segment was excellent, watch it here:

We accept your apology and hope you'll understand when you're deported from this country. We don't want or need people of your ilk.
Peace through superior firepower
A Houston woman allegedly unloads on some guy at an apartment complex, then takes off on foot with the police hot on her heels.
When they catch up and start yelling the usual “hands” stuff, she decides the smart play is to yank out a gun and point it at the people with badges, body armor, and very large magazines.
Result: officers return the favor with interest, two guns get recovered, and everyone involved ends up in the hospital playing “critical condition” bingo.
It’s the classic “I just shot somebody, let’s see how the armed professionals react to a gun in my hand” strategy.
Spoiler: they react by filling the air with lead.
Thank you for speaking out but a LOT of people predicted this. They said that once civil unions weren’t enough and marriage meant equality that we were on a slippery slope. No longer wanting to be left alone but requiring quotas and special treatment.
As a gay man, I'll say what a lot of us are thinking.
We fought to be left alone. To marry the man we love, keep our jobs, and live a quiet life.
We won.
Then woke activists took our letters, stapled on a dozen causes we never signed up for, and started calling us bigots for saying sex is real.
That isn't our movement anymore.

For those wondering.... they carried different names in different geographic areas and era's and are made in various different shapes.
The names given below are generally correct.

This made my eyes leak
Mel Gibson paid Robert Downey Jr.'s insurance bond when no insurer would cover him. Eight years later, with Gibson's own career in ruins, Downey asked Hollywood to forgive him.
In 2003, Downey was coming off years of drug arrests, and no insurance company would cover him on a film set. Gibson, a producer on The Singing Detective, covered the insurance bond himself so Downey could play the lead.
Downey has said Gibson also told him not to give up hope and urged him to find his faith.
The only thing Gibson asked in return was that someday Downey help the next guy.
In 2006, Gibson was arrested in Malibu, and his own career collapsed.
In October 2011, Downey received the American Cinematheque Award and asked Gibson to present it. In the video below, Downey tells the room why he chose him. About that old favor, he says Gibson "didn't imagine the next guy would be him."
Then he urged Hollywood to forgive his friend.
Gibson later told Esquire it was "a bold and generous and kind gesture."
Did Downey owe Gibson that speech, or was it a risk nobody else in Hollywood was willing to take?
We don’t need movies made about real men like this. Let’s just get ones with more Marvel characters.
You think you’ve met some tough sailors?
Let me introduce you to one of the most badass sailors ever Commander Bill King, Royal Navy.
This absolute BADASS survived SIX YEARS of submarine warfare during WWII. No significant breaks. As other submarine captains were getting slaughtered by Germans, he kept returning to even the odds.
The he decided the best way to recover from the experience was to sail ALONE around the world in a 42-foot sailboat.
And somehow, that’s not even the craziest part of his story.
King was born in 1910. His father was killed fighting in WWI. At just 12 years old, he entered the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth.
By the outbreak of WWII, he was commanding British submarines.
Think about what that meant.
No nuclear propulsion. No modern sonar. No satellite intelligence. No helicopter rescue waiting overhead.
Just diesel engines, batteries, torpedoes, and a steel pressure hull separating you from a horrible death.
He fought through the Battle of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean campaigns before taking command of HMS Telemachus in the Pacific.
In July 1944, King hunted down and sank the Japanese submarine I-166 in the Strait of Malacca.
He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order TWICE, along with the Distinguished Service Cross.
He was reportedly the ONLY British submarine commander to remain in submarine command from the beginning of WWII to its end.
SIX YEARS.
Imagine the accumulated stress of six years hunting enemy warships while knowing that one depth charge could send you and your entire crew to the bottom.
The war ended, but it never really left him.
King later admitted that the experience had reduced him to a nervous wreck.
So what did he do?
He bought a ruined castle in Ireland, took up farming, and eventually decided he needed to get away from EVERYTHING.
In 1968, at the age of 58, he entered the inaugural Sunday Times Golden Globe Race.
The mission?
Race 9 other competitors to be the first to sail alone, nonstop, around the entire planet.
He built the 42-foot junk-rigged schooner named Galway Blazer II.
No GPS. No Starlink. No weather routing. No EPIRB.
Just celestial navigation, seamanship, and a lifetime of experience surviving in places where mistakes get people killed.
He sailed south into the Atlantic.
Then the Southern Ocean came looking for him.
A monstrous storm capsized his boat, destroying his masts.
King survived, rigged emergency sails, and eventually made it to South Africa.
Race over.
Worse? He lost the race to a young Merchant Navy officer.
You laugh but the other Royal Navy commander whose boat sunk in that race, was so embarrassed by being shamed by other naval officers that he hung himself.
Most men would have called it quits.
Not Bill King.
He tried again.
And again.
On a subsequent attempt, something enormous, possibly a shark or whale, slammed into his boat off Australia, punching a hole in the hull.
He spent DAYS making emergency repairs at sea.
Again, he survived.
Finally, in 1973, at the age of 62, SIXTY TWO, he completed his solo circumnavigation.
He had survived two world wars’ worth of family tragedy, six years of submarine combat, a dismasting, a capsizing, and a terrifying collision at sea.
And he was STILL sailing.
In 1975, the Cruising Club of America awarded him its prestigious Blue Water Medal.
But there’s one more part of his story I find extraordinary.
Decades after King sank the Japanese submarine I-166, the son of one of the Japanese sailors killed aboard that submarine visited him in Ireland.
Instead of hatred, the two families developed a friendship.
They planted trees together as symbols of peace.
Think about that.
A submarine commander who had spent years trying to kill the enemy ultimately found friendship with the family of a man he’d killed in battle.
Bill King lived to be 102 YEARS OLD. He simply refused to die.
Fair winds Commander 🫡

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.
The signs were ready before you were even angry.
AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.
VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd
Please stop posting facts !!
So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right?

54 years ago tonight, October 26, 1972, the Boston Garden scene in “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” was filmed during an actual Bruins-Blackhawks game. Chicago won 6-3.
The only fake part? The organ music.
It was added in post-production because legendary Garden organist John Kiley hated hockey so much he'd leave for coffee during games.
When the Jacobs brothers bought the Bruins and Boston Garden in 1975 for $10 million, they finally made him stick around and play. 🎹🏒

I’d go in Saturday mornings with my father. You could actually park on the expressway off-ramp. When we were a proper city.
Did the ceremony even take place? I heard @seanhannity kept interrupting the Reverend.
Thank you !
Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who hasn't voted.
Early voting is under way and election day is November 3. There are nine statewide ballot questions. Here’s how I’m voting (see cheatsheet):
Read the official Information for Voters booklet for the full text and the arguments from both sides. Then vote your values.
Do you agree or disagree with how I’m voting on the 9 ballot questions?
If you want more affordability, accountability, transparency, and local control, vote Chester Tam for State Representative in the 9th Bristol District.
