Trashy's World: Canada’s number one buffoon…
… is angling for a Senate seat, it appears. Although I don’t think he has the intelligence to engage in such strategic thinking. Regardless of whether his views are on or off-base, he-of-no-taste should stick to hockey and should shut up about the country’s foreign aid policies. He knows next
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Rob Ford and the Cherry Nation
Golly. How moving. I see that the old Con Don Cherry is standing by sticking to his fallen buddy Rob Ford. “It’s unbelievable how they have nailed him to the cross and only because of who he is,” Cherry said. “I feel for him because I have be…
Continue readingPolitics, Re-Spun: Act of Valor, Redux
“Before my father died, he said the worst thing about growing old was that other men stop seeing you as dangerous….Dangerousness was sacred.” Last night I watched Act of Valor. I liveblogged it so you don’t have to watch it. You’re welcome. First there was The Lottery, a dystopic tale

Prime Minister Stephen Harper (clutching the balloon, centre) sets off his attack on Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair, who is illustrated standing in the background. Beep-beep! Actual federal politicians may not appear exactly as illustrated. Below: Tory big guns Rex Murphy and Don Cherry, plus former Tory big gun Norman Spector,
Continue readingToronto Maple Leafs: America’s Team?
I don’t have much time for Don Cherry, Brian Burke or the Toronto Maple Leafs. I like even less Hockey Night in Canada whose warped coverage of hockey is not only bad TV but totally lacking in any real sense of perspective. Last night a panel of ‘experts’ reamed rookie
Continue readingTrashy's World: I think as much of Don Cherry…
…as I do morons like Pierre Polievre, Vic Toews and Dean Del Mastro… but his rant on Brian Burke (GM of the Leafs for those of you not-so-enlightened) was dead on the mark. Leaf Nation has for a while bemoaned the lack of Canadian content on the team, and more
Continue readingBrian Burke has had it up to here with Don Cherry
Don Cherry loves the Leafs. He loves them almost as much as the Bruins. However, he does not love Leaf coach Ron Wilson. In fact, Cherry uses every little slip of Wilson’s (granted, there are a lot) to rail against Leaf management for not doing exactly what Mr. Cherry wants.
Continue readingBrock University prof: Stupid people attracted to conservative beliefs, prejudice.
No comment necessary. The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the

Does this look like ‘self defence’ to you? Fueled by the rabid Boston press and the bigotry of media types like Don Cherry and Cathal Kelly, the Bruins have waged a PR war against the Vancouver Canucks with stunning success. Nobody talks about the Bruins’ ganging up or Boston crowds
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Don Cherry’s Horrible Year
Well as you no doubt know Don Cherry has probably had his worst year ever eh? All those NHL concussions, and all that terminal brain damage, have no doubt taken the shine off his rock’em sock’em videos. Now even Raffi is going after him for being such a bully. And
Continue readingCowboys for Social Responsibility: #ethicalbananaphone
It must be hard to be Don Cherry these days. It’s not just that Cherry became the foil to the Conservative mob’s campaign to find out how much Peter Mansbridge makes. Or that Cherry felt obliged to decline an honourary degree from Royal Military College following one open letter from

My favorite columnist, Rick Salutin, has a brief video on The Star website in which he asserts that the NDP and the CBC are no more leftist than Rex Murphy, Kevin O’Leary, or Don Cherry. You can watch it here. Recommend this Post

Don Cherry’s statement paints himself as the victim, of course. But the reality is not so kind to the puffed up bigot of Hockey Night in Canada. Expect Conservatives to recommence their bawling about liberal thugs tampering with the rights of…
Continue readingRob Ford to defeated team: "Take the high road, leave the low road to me"
"Take the high road," muttered a teary-eyed Rob Ford to his losing football team, the Don Bosco Eagles. Too bad Toronto’s mayor knows nothing of the high road. The ethics-challenged buffoon, like his doppleganger Don Cherry, only knows how to bully and mince. But the high road, what’s that?

Well I see the Royal Military College has decided to give Don Cherry an honorary degree.And is sticking to it’s guns blunderbusses despite what this professor said:”On many occasions he publicly expressed his contempt for many groups of the Canadian po…

… not a frickin’ chance! So Big Don says sorry for calling a few ex-NHLers “pukes”… big whoop! And now commentators and Tweets and Letters to the Editor are all a-gummy about this! “Takes a big man to say sorry” “Cherry eats humble pie” – this crap is everywhere! Well, NO! I’m sorry, but it […]

Like Don Cherry and Ezra Levant, Kevin O’Leary likes to talk loud, puff out his chest and insult others. Problem with these bozos is that kind of behaviour requires the goods to back up the braggadocio. We know the answer in the case of both Cherr…
