No PM @mark-carney.bsky.social #Cherry does not fit the description for the order of 🇨🇦. Not as a player, coach or obnoxious analysts! Matter of fact had #HockeyNightInCanada never given him a platform his sub hockey career would have left him as a foot note. #cdnpoli #nhl #OrderofCanada
In a social media post late Thursday, the Conservative party's Quebec lieutenant Pierre Paul-Hus said he believes appointing #DonCherry would be "a bad idea" given his "unacceptable remarks toward the #Quebec nation and francophones." #OrderOfCanada

＝ NEWS ฿ CBC Q Sections v Politics Quebec Conservatives sour on Don Cherry nomination as party pushes Order of Canada petition Quebec lieutenant said appointing hockey pundit would be 'bad idea' given past remarks against francophones CARASS Michel Saba • The Canadian Press • Posted: Mar 13, 2026 9:52 PM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago 目： Listen to this article Estimated 5 minutes Hockey commentator Don Cherry speaks to reporters at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in February 2011. Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada in 2019 for comments CBC said were 'divisive, discriminatory and offensive.' (Darren Calabrese/The Canadian Press)
cbc.ca 'Popularity is not a criterion when it comes to honouring Canadians,' said MP Luc Berthold, pictured on Dec. 1, 2025. (Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press) "Many Quebecers who have accomplished extraordinary things, particularly in the regions, deserve this honour far more than this commentator," he said in a social media post in French. "And their successes are not the result of controversial remarks. Popularity is not a criterion when it comes to honouring Canadians for their achievements." Fellow Conservative Gérard Deltell, MP for Louis-Saint-Laurent-Akiawenhrahk, said Friday that Cherry has made "unacceptable and contemptuous" remarks toward "francophones, among others."
#CPC MPs including #PierrePoilievre, are pushing #DonCherry for the #OrderOfCanada. A racist, misogynist loud mouthed bigot. This is the same playbook as the Trump regime giving Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Degrading these solemn awards by giving them to divisive bigoted bullies
"I think everyone is born with humour,
but your life can beat it out of you, sadly, or
you can be lucky enough to grow up in it."

is laughing."

Dying to know if she shares views of Paul Brandt re: AB leaving #Canada or not. If she does, the #GovernorGeneral may wish to review her appointment to the #OrderOfCanada. It’s very ‘un-Canadian’ to want to break up the country! 🇨🇦
