Don Cherry and curtain fabric
amidst all the furore over Don Cherry's nasty, bigoted remarks over the weekend (while the fact of his nastiness and bigotry can hardly have been surprise to anyone, the nature and fierceness of the backlash really gave the broadcaster no option but to sack him) I saw this Beaverton piece which kind of sums up my view of the bloated "personality" and his meaninglessness to increasing numbers of Canadians. Curtain-fabric and sofa chintz suppliers everywhere will be quaking in their boots as news circulates that the goatee'd oddity will no longer have an expense account for his custom suits:

Re: Don Cherry and curtain fabric
I don't sew but I do know that Fabricland is not the place to go in Vancouver for price or selection.....
I never cared for Don Cherry, always found him annoying. |

Whilst I agree that he'sa knob, to be fair Fabricland has been going down for probably 20 years. People don't sew anymore and when the few that do want fabric they go somewhere with good selection and better quality. Whenever I go to visit family I make a trip to Ottawa St (Hamilton) and/or Len's Mill. I've also been known to make a trip across the border to Buffalo to the fabric shops there.

Re: Don Cherry and curtain fabric
I enjoyed the Beaverton quip.
Don Cherry deserved to be let go and as others have pointed out shouldn't have got this far in the first place. He is 85 and has plenty of money. He was literally being paid a million dollars a year out of a lost sentiment. Good riddance and hopefully Iced Hockey, a game dominated by angry white entitled canadians, uses this opportunity to start to arrest the regression the game sees year on year. |

It's the how that interests me more than the why. Cubicles are not large so it's quite a gymnastic feat.

Re: Don Cherry and curtain fabric
What I find truly astonishing is not Don Cherry's casual racism (not uncommon for a person of his age), but the fact that many, many obviously young people on a Facebook group I follow (Leafs Nation) are outraged that Don Cherry has been fired and can see nothing wrong with what he said. Some 'he is only saying what we are thinking' and others saying 'what he meant to say was....' and ignoring what he ACTUALLY DID say (and clearly mean). Then of course attacking other with a contrary view as 'Liberals' and 'Snowflakes' and 'not patriotic Canadians' etc.
I confess that I watched this live with the rest of the game, but I zone out when DC goes on about anything that isn't hockey, but my wife spotted the reference immediately and was really angry 'that would include me because I am an immigrant as well'. She is already smarting at not getting a vote in the election as a mere PR. Just when you start to think that maybe racism is starting to die out as the older generation moves on, you can see that it seems to be alive and active in the younger generation also. No one is born racist, it is a learned condition - where are they learning it from? It is sad and alarming and it seems to be on the rise worldwide. |
