"When asked whether he thought Canada was "better served when there are more Quebecers in charge than Albertans," Trudeau replied, "I'm a Liberal, so of course I think so, yes. Certainly when we look at the great prime ministers of the 20th century, those that really stood the test of time, they were MPs from Quebec. There was Trudeau, there was Mulroney, there was Chrétien, there was Paul Martin. We have a role.

Is Paul Martin French Canadian? It looks to me like someone who has an opinion on who the best PMs were. I don't see him saying that "The only good PMs are French Canadian"..... That being said, you seem to have your mind made up that JT is a bigot and I think you're dead wrong, so we might as well leave it at that.

Pretty clear from the photo in the article that it wasn’t Justin Trudeau who said that, but it was actually Evil Twin Justin Trudeau, so therefore the PM gets a pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Cherry's an 85 year old man, hes been doing all sorts of media. I'm not going to blame him or consider his legacy 'ruined' because he went on Fox news with some nut job. It's too bad as Jimmy McG said hes kinda being used & politicized to the max.

And what life was like for them at home if they lived. The families these people raised or were part of also share a common disaster. An entire generation was ruined, spawning a trickledown into today. I don’t think many people appreciate how awful war is, not really. Cherry surely had that part inside of him and his blundered message. I just watched world war 2 in color the battle of midway segment. I totally get where cherry is coming from after watching that episode of how these pilots knew they were going to die, (american pilots) and I also have a family member who fought in the war. the best thing was for him to just remind all Canadians to get a poppy, or better yet just stick to hockey to be safe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It feels like unity amongst people is dead. Perhaps that cynical, but I think that's whats sinking in for me. I don't know where we are going, but it doesn't feel good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dilemma was that he was a combination of good and bad, had he been all alcoholic with no virtues, it would actually have been easier as a child - it is the virtues that draw you close enough as a child for the vices to hurt you, then, as an adult I could begin to appreciate the brutal childhood that he survived, and the horrifying consequences of even living through a war where most of your cohort did not survive. Then, as an immigrant, to arrive in Canada, desperately needing work - my parents were only allowed to bring a hundred pounds out of England because of post war currency controls - and the signs hung on the outside of places of employment said, “Men wanted, Englishmen need not apply.” This was because of what was called, ‘Remittance Men’ - the children of the wealthy and the connected that fled to Canada to avoid the war and who survived on remittances sent from British parents to young men avoiding service while the Canadian boys were sent to Britain to fight, risk maiming or death while the rich and connected Remittance Men sat it out. Later, he would see the refugees from other nations well treated - it had an effect. I guess everyone has their stories of unequal treatment - that affected my father, so I learned from observing him to never become dependent on booze or drugs, to be involved in my children’s lives, and to never allow other people’s opinions of me to ever affect me. Thanks for the reply. First I heard of the Remittance Men, learn something every day. Life was a lot harder for everybody back in those days. I used to read comic books when I was young. The G.I Joe stories ended with a logo...War is Hell. You are good man and I enjoy your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum will always have disagreements on it regardless of what the topic is. Cherry has ruffled people's feathers the wrong way for a long time, in today's world anything you said can get spun in various directions....technology has been great but this social media banter and pointing out every little mistake is too much for this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
