Don Cherry on immigration, hockey fighting in 1990 CBC interview

"I just say what I think," Don Cherry told The Fifth Estate's Eric Malling in an interview in 1990. He shared his uncensored, outspoken thoughts on everything from fighting in hockey to immigration to his custom-made shirts.

Bush has an MBA and Obama has a law degree, which are advanced degrees, which beat Trump's Wharton's Economics degree, since it is more difficult to obtain a Harvard MBA (Bush) or a Harvard JD (Obama), even though Wharton is a prestigious school, it probably isn't quite up there with Ivy League Harvard. As for Trump being impeached, unless enough Republicans vote for it in the Senate, it's not going to happen, unless he win in 2020 and the Democrats get enough votes in the House and Senate to do it.

    Living in Buffalo, I went to the "Grapevine" many, many times. They were mini museums with all the great photos hanging on the walls. First went to Fort Erie..... when they closed, I was heartbroken. Started going to Hamilton fairly regularly, for several years. Actually met Grapes there one night! After the Jays won the World Series, the franchisee turned the place into LA Batts. Sucked! Not knowing what happened, took a couple buds there. Ordered about $100 worth of food and drink. I'm looking around in utter shock and bewilderment. Waitress bring the food and booze..... I say to her "What the hell is going on here?" She gives me the speech about the changeover. I was so distraught, I said to the guys " Let's go!" They thought I was nuts. I couldn't stay another second. Put 2 $100 bills on the table (American, I might add), and said, "we're outta here!" Called information and found the next closest location in Mississauga; we drove there and all was right with the world! Never set foot in Hamilton again!

We live in a different world controlled by PC culture and far left media who like to fire and dox people to assert their control/power. It's a different world. Cherry is too real for our PC, controlled speech culture. He should start a podcast.

    Say what you like about Don Cherry the person, he is right a lot of the time about hockey. Especially if fights were allowed as they once were it would stop the cheap shots, allow the players to police themselves. Plus those that watch hockey enjoy seeing a fight now and then. What they should have is fight rules. Drop the gloves and take the helmet off and punch away.

Trump might deserve criticism for not attending last year because of rain, but not for not wearing a poppy when attending this year? Grapes is having a hissy fit over something trivial. There is other ways to support veterans besides wearing a poppy. That doesn't seem to register with him, and maybe it's because he probably doesn't have a high school diploma.

    After seeing old You Tube videos of comments from Harold Ballard, Don Cherry's last comment on CBC in 2019 before he was fired was actually very tame compared to many of Harold Ballard's comments. It brought back vivid memories of Dave Hodge's firing from HNIC in 1987. Ironically when Don Cherry was interviewed back in 1980 in a CBC Documentary of Harold Ballard while he was Coach of the Colorado Rockies he actually admired Harold Ballard. Was he trying to get a Coaching job with the Leafs in the future?

This was back in like 2013. He’s a man stuck in his ways, not that he’s a horrible person but his way of thinking he doesn’t want to change, like most people 60+. He’s definitely got some Trump-like traits 😒
