“You people... love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.”
shocked he still has a job after all these years.... although until this, not sure he's ever gone this far..... i think anyone else would have been fired? but money talks?
do recent immigrants not wear poppies? i'm guessing he is to some degree correct........... although i've paid for poppies twice this year but don't wear them (not sure where they go, sort of like socks disappearing in the dryer.. the washer?)
canadian and american immigration is quite different...... someone summarized to me as "america is a melting pot, canada is a mosaic". far more people live much more like they did back home whereas america i think people assimilate much more quickly........ in toronto, we get people from all over the world, i think you could have a yonge street world cup win celebration for almost every country in the world. vancouver is more bi- or tri-cultural. white, chinese and east indians....... also, very little illegal immigration in canada.
if you didn't know, Don Cherry is massive celebrity in Canada. somewhat like John Madden in personality although Don = 10X more famous in canada and never really heard Madden get political
