  1. OT - Often overlooked was that Ho Chi Minh quoted Thomas Jefferson in his declaration of independance of Vietnam. Now after untold devastation 'both sides' routinely have shared defense exercises (not to mention ever closening ties). What a terrible waste of lives (that police action).
  2. Those two provinces don't even have Remembrance Day as a special day in the calender (holiday).
  3. What people (again, MY OPINION), lose sight of is that Cherry took attention away from those that deserved the spotlight on this date (veterans). Certainly not him. Rant about the dwindling number of people that wear the poppy AFTER Nov 11.
  4. Actually he did get ridiculed for 'chicken Swede' comments in the past. And Swedes are whiter than Michael Jackson.
  5. Call me a traitor, but I just can't behind a team with the words "Toronto" in it.
  6. (not my words, hence the quote): Reporter: “Mr. President, did you hear that Gov. Bevin lost?”Donald Trump: “Who?”Reporter: “How does it feel to see yet another politician you endorsed lose?”DT: “Never heard of him.”Reporter: “You were in Kentucky campaigning for him yesterday.”DT: “Never been there.”
  7. I've tried to block much of my memory of that event so perhaps my judgement is clouded on the matter.
  8. I've posted this link before: https://globalnews.ca/news/6123962/quebec-legion-poppy-campaign/ And these are members of the Legion. Unfortunately, for too many people, things like WWI/WWII are too distant a memory. Don, a non-veteran, took to pulpit and made the issue (paying your respects to the vets) essentially about himself with his rant. That is the tragedy. The irony of him getting discharged on November 11.
  9. Thanks for the tip! Stealing lines from movies again Alf?
  10. Unless they were from Sweden. Cherry would've went off how they remained "neutral" throughout WWII.
  11. Hilarious part is that "brown person" might be a Sikh. Those guys were REALLY tough @#%#$% fighting for us in WWII. The enemy were scared to death facing them in battle.
  12. Sounds like Cherry. **** him. I don't recall him supporting us (Canada's team in the Finals) much in 1982, 1994, or 2011.
  13. heh, sounds like you're talking about Bob Cole.
  14. Have to spend at least SOME money to compete. I thank the stars the Aquilini's (who obviously aren't perfect) own the Canucks.

  16. Here's where I'll defend Cherry *a LITTLE*. Whatever your thoughts/opinions on Don Cherry, he'll tell you right to your face. You might not agree with him (heh, in my case pretty much 100% of the time) but you always know where you stand with him. Now a supposed "enlightened" Ron McLean? He's a slimy SOB. What a total hyprocrite. Goes on a personal vendetta against Burrows. At first, ok, he's just defending his fellow on ice officials (him being an official at times). But he continued the mud slinging on Burrows LONG after (and never failed to bring it up once in a while). Cherry will tell you he doesn't like you right away. McLean will smile & shake your hand (but mutter under his breath 'what a #%#%' as you walk away). Just my opinion.
  17. They always were considered to have a fairly deep blueline. What put them over the top was rookie goalie.
  18. The problem was that he clearly framed his argument only targeting "those people". Again, I said it before that Don Cherry is just an old fossil. What's Ron McLean's excuse? Guy just stood there & said nothing.
