The faux outrage over Don Cherry’s comments calling on Canadians to wear poppies to honour veterans for Remembrance Day has now led to his firing from Sportsnet.

Since his comments became viral, the mainstream media has only showed one side story – those denouncing Cherry as xenophobic or unwelcoming.

Support for Cherry has been completely ignored by the mainstream outlets.

Despite overwhelming support on social media including several trending hashtags like #IStandWithCherry and #CherryWasRight, the media decided to only report on calls for Cherry to be fired.

However, many Canadians came out in support of Cherry and his call to honour our veterans who have sacrificed so much so that we can have our freedoms.

Among those speaking out in support of Cherry is True North Founder Candice Malcolm.

Cancel culture just took another victim. This time a Canadian icon and cherished national voice, over an untrue Leftist smear. #IStandWithCherry — Candice Malcolm (@CandiceMalcolm) November 11, 2019

Toronto Sun columnist Joe Warmington had this to say about Mayor Tory’s comments.

Piling on an 85-year-old legend for encouraging patriotism and remembrance while city tolerates becoming a war zone by bowing to political correctness to take away living-saving tools from police. So many innocent people have been murdered and you are worried about Don Cherry? https://t.co/jD5F6nH8o9 — Joe Warmington (@joe_warmington) November 10, 2019

Other Canadians lauded Cherry’s support for veterans and slammed Sportsnet over their decision to fire him.

To all those tweeting #fireCherry I hope you were equally as disgusted with #TrudeauBlackface and were tweeting #TrudeauMustGo with the rest of us.

"Some" people cant handle the truth it sounds like. This country needs to grow a pair and stop apologizing every time a handful of people are "offended " for being called out. #wearapoppy #IStandWithCherry — Matt.B.Kimble (@MatKimble) November 10, 2019

I’m an immigrant. He said nothing racist and only spoke his opinion and a truthful one at that! #IStandWithCherry — ricardo (@ricksvelo) November 10, 2019

Canada is an ideological one-party state. Firing Don Cherry on Remembrance Day is an even bigger insult. #DonCherryIsRight https://t.co/Z2dqRY9eWk — Chris Tomlinson (@TomlinsonCJ) November 11, 2019
