Don Cherry happy Canada finally coming around to his way of thinking

Don Cherry knows the historical record. He knows that he blasted the Jean Chrétien Liberals for not supporting the United States invasion of Iraq, caned Montreal Canadiens fans for booing the American national anthem and, when coffins carrying Canadian troops began trickling home from Afghanistan, turned the final 30 seconds of Coach’s Corner into a national war memorial.

Don Cherry knows exactly what he has done and exactly what he is: a right-winger, a patriot, an angry old white guy working for a liberal employer in a nation long painted Liberal red until a pro-monarchy, pro-military, tough-on-crime prime minister came along and began repainting it blue.

The old hockey coach never changes, but maybe Canada has. And maybe Mr. Cherry was ahead of the curve, politically, and maybe the rest of the country — beyond the “pinko” bastion of downtown Toronto and those socialists down in Quebec — is finally catching up.

Sun News is certainly helping things up here.

Sun News is hard-hitting and far more conservative than Fox. The left up here doesn’t know where to turn - they have NEVER been challenged or exposed prior to Sun News!

When is couch season anyway??? :)

Inasmuch as there appears to be no "bag limit", then it may be safe to assume them to be vermin, and thus always in season : P...

Well I am American-I just know about this pp by visiting Blogging Tories every once in a while, but it’s not much better here in America. The tea party sweeps the Republicans back into power and what happens? BAS (Business as Usual) and we are about to elect a RINO socialist as our nominee to go against one of the worst Presidents in US history!?

I expect the backstab at the national level. Even when the Progressive Conservatives and Reform Party were merging,the P.C.s couldn't even pretend to give lip service to any level of social conservatism in radio interviews on CBC.

What bothers me is that Alberta should be the most conservative province, and they are leading the way on this stuff with large majorities. Meanwhile, I commute every day to Madison, Wisconsin, and get to see Gov. Scott Walker with a reduced and slim majority in the state senate move the ball against the Gates of Hell. I see even a lightweight like Mitch Daniels get Right to Work passed in Indiana (which should be a rough equivalent of Alberta, politically).

But if Alberta thinks it can regulate what parents say to their own children in their own home, what would we get from Quebec, Ontario or B.C.?

Yes! THAT’s what I’m talking about! Classic Don Cherry. Dapper, a dandy, yet strong and manly. He’s a character. His wardrobe matches his outrageous personality, And knows hockey.

Well I live in Indiana, and we may get a real conservative governor in Representative Pence, however on the national level we’ll be stuck with Communist or Socialist-GWB-McCain lite! I just wish we could seceede from the union.

I live in rural Illinois. I'd be happy if "Chicagoland" would do the seceding. Maybe you could trade Gary for rural Illinois.
