This best part of all this is being able to wash my social media accounts of people I haven't talked to since high school posting memes of Trudeau in black face or Jangmeet Singh holding a "gently caress the Police" sign with the underlying text saying "ThEy GoT tO kEeP tHeIr JoBs"

'liking dogs' and being an lgbtq+ advocate are not really the same thing

To be fair, it's not just liking dogs, Cherry has done a lot for the SPCA/animal cruelty which is commendable. Not enough forgive all his other bullshit though.

I'll be honest, I'm a little surprised at just how big a deal poppies are in Canada. We have them where I am (New Zealand) but no-one gives a poo poo if you don't wear them. Is this a recent thing? Like how NZ's attitude on war has gotten a lot more jingoistic since the actual WWI vets died off?

Yep, it's become super jingoistic in the last decade or so. The last Conservative government really tried to push Canada's wars as a source of national pride, to the point where the Ontario Conservative Government was running ads this year telling people to do their duty, buy a poppy, and attend a service. gently caress all that poo poo.

Aww thanks you guys! I still think fondly back to that time I met up with another Canucks fan goon for game 5 of the WCF in 2011 and we ended up poo poo faced downtown where he whacked several people with my flag. :j: Good times.

Also I have asked a much better informed co worker about this “Elias” guy and I am very intrigued. I need a way to watch the game though cause I don’t have cable or HockeyStreams (rip) anymore.

In the run up to be Cherry's successor he's done a lot of "just asking questions" and "special snowflake participation award" kind of stuff. He's also come down on the wrong side of a hit or a fight that I've seen quite a few times (e.g. "honest hockey play", "we can't take this out of the game", etc.).

A sidenote:

Apparently the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council got so many complaints about Cherry's racist comments that it overloaded their reporting system. They had to stop taking complaints online and start asking people to write in, instead.

I know, I know, it's a Canadian Crown corporation, so the number of complaints required could be in the single digits, but it's still funny.
