Dear Bob,
After reading your Don Cherry pieces, the first thing that comes to mind is what the hell does this have to do with Vancouver?
Then again, I guess you're the chief, so you can write whatever you want.
麻豆传媒映画has a hockey team. Don talks about hockey. At least sometimes. I guess that could be the connection.
I did like your line "What a disgrace" and on that we have common ground. It's an apt description of both of your Don Cherry pieces.
Don Cherry calls out Canadians - ALL Canadians - for not doing enough to support veterans and you walk away thinking you've discovered some hidden meaning in his words that make it anti-immigration. Wow!
So maybe I'm a chowderhead, but even I was able to figure out the meaning of his words. Granted, I did have to get some input from the cat. The cat also thinks I'm a chowderhead. But he did help me.
The cat pointed out how simple Don's message was. And no, as much as you would like it to be anti-immigration to fit your false belief system, it's about Canadians not doing enough to support veterans.
If a chowderhead like me can figure that out, how come a fancy publisher and chief of editors like you can't? I mean, you must be the best editor of them all. Heck, they made you chief.
Please tell me you're not an even bigger chowderhead than me. Of course, I have the cat to help explain some of the deep meanings behind Don's words. Still, you're a chief. Surely if you take your time you can get to the real meaning.
The cat gave me a big hint. I hope this helps you. YOU PEOPLE means anyone that does not support veterans. Pretty simple isn't it?
Although I think you're a chowderhead, I am very happy to read that you donated $100 to the Legion. A tip of the hat to you for your generosity. Perhaps there is hope for you.
You did pen one good line:
Perhaps instead of divisive scolding we could work to better educate everyone on the meaning of the poppy campaign and why 鈥渨e people鈥� choose to wear it.
That was really the only good part of the entire piece. I'll give you credit for a strong finish on that one.
But you're still a chowderhead.
Sincerely,
JP Erickson
