Coach Cherry Creates Controversy on CBC

I guess they outlawed freedom of speech in Canada. Even after my experience in Toronto, I'm convinced that some sort or apartheid is going on there.

I read on TSN's NHL Network page that co-host of CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, Don Cherry, is undergoing investigations after comments he made on his editorial segment called "Coach's Corner". Coach Don Cherry said that the only hockey players who wear visors are Europeans and "the french".

Well, that pissed off a lot of liberals in the country. (Despite the statistics that back up Cherry) A statement like this in Canada qualifies as a "hate crime". The liberals have been trying for years to get Cherry off the show, and really dislike him for backing the U.S. during the Iraq war.
