Very sad it just goes to show the man he is not. I don;t care to listen to him any more.

I strongly believe there is a lot more to the story than what we actually saw and heard. A new thread of its own i’m sure. Ron did what he felt was right ... remember he and Cherry have/had a long history together. There is information we will never see and probably for good reason.

Sadly I'm not even a Cherry fan. I just think Ron could have stepped up.

The fact of the matter, who was Don speaking to?? I took it personal and I'm third Genration Canadian. "You guys, get out there and support the Vets."

Interesting how you chose to paraphrase

Stepped up and did what?
Pay for Cherry's lawyer.

Cherry broke his contract. Again.

I won't be buying a plate at that dinner, but I have no problem with Ron.

I have a problem with him working with a party and with people who don't have Canadian's best interests at heart, and who don't represent the values of the majority of Canadians.

You want to cancel a hockey announcer because he is sane and doesn't agree with you? Sounds pretty undemocratic.

I don't want to cancel anyone. I just have a problem with Ron Maclean helping out the Liberals, who don't have Canadians best interests at heart and who don't represent the values of the majority of Canadians. Now if he was helping the Conservatives, he would be working with good people who represent the values of the majority of Canadians.

Don Cherry is also on there. Fired.
So is Mansbridge. Retired.

If they are alive, they are listed.
You forgot Dave Hodge " That's how things go with this network CBC " then he got fired too

When you dislike someone for political leanings you should really look in the mirror. Welcome to 2020 I guess. We can disagree and still like each other.

And yet they are in power and up strongly in popularity. "We" voted in the Liberals regardless if "you" voted for them.

I'm not sure who "they" is when you say "they" are in power. "They" being the Liberals only hold power because of the NDP. Neither party represents the core values of the majority of Canadians. Only the Conservatives do that. That's why it was a shame to see Ron Maclean in league with the Liberals.

Cool. I'm a big fan of Ron's and it's always nice to see a celebrity fundraising.
