Don Cherry, known for his flamboyant suits, literally said nothing wrong. But what he did say managed to tick off the wrong people. And those people, clearly, are leftists. From Daily Wire:

On Monday, Canadian broadcaster Sportsnet fired legendary NHL commentator Don Cherry for comments he made concerning immigrants and fallen Canadian veterans while he was on air Saturday night.

The controversial comments? Cherry voiced his displeasure with people living in Mississauga and downtown Toronto not wearing poppy pins, which are meant to honor fallen veterans in the days nearing Canada’s Remembrance Day, which is in the same vein as the United States’ Memorial Day. As noted by The Washington Post, both areas of Toronto have large immigrant populations.

WATCH:

Comment that got Don Cherry fired:

“People … come here, whatever it is, you love our way of life, you love our milk & honey. At least you can pay a couple of bucks for poppies .. These guys pay for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada. These guys pay the biggest price.”

Back in August, the former prime minister of Canada, Kim Campbell, hoped President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago was directly hit by a hurricane.

LOOK:

I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar a Lago!

Reactions:

She hates Trump so much that she wants the people who work at or live near Mar-a-Lago in the way of a Hurricane.

Imagine being this filled with progressive bloodlust for Trump that you’d be fine with dead innocents.

Former PM. Current Lunatic.

Did the staff and residents in the area wrong you in some way? Publicly wishing for people to be put in harms way is twisted. How many deaths and properties destroyed are you hoping for?

They say #LeftWingExtremism doesn’t exist, especially in Canada…not rooting for hurricane to stay offshore, rooting for destruction of lives just because @realDonaldTrump has property that could get destroyed. #ThesePeopleAreSick #LetMaxSpeak @MaximeBernier @SuzyQtrue

US Air Force Reveals Successful Hypersonic Missile Test

This could put the US back in the driver’s seat as far as missile tech goes.

Much like the global arms races that came before, the superpowers of the world are now looking to add a terrifying new doomsday machine to their arsenals in 2022: Hypersonic missiles.

The missiles, which could be loaded with nuclear or traditional munitions, fly several times faster than the speed of sound and are said to be unstoppable by current defense technologies. (The US has played coy with this claim, however, suggesting that our nation is well-defended against them).

Russia and China already possess such weapons. North Korea keeps insisting that they do too, but the claim is dubious.

The United States, who previously admitted that they were a bit behind in developing these projectiles, made a major announcement on the subject this week.

UPI reports a B-52H Stratofortress aircraft successfully released a AGM-1831 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) over the weekend that achieved speeds five times greater than the speed of sound.

The test was conducted somewhere off the coast of Southern California, it said.

“This was a major accomplishment by the ARRW team for the weapons enterprise and our Air Force,” Brig. Gen. Heath Collins, Air Force program executive officer for weapons, said in a statement.

“The team’s tenacity, expertise and commitment were key in overcoming the past year’s challenges to get us to the recent success.”

The news comes just months after China secretly test launched a hypersonic missile that circumnavigated the globe before hitting its target.
