It's about time we heard from Cherry on the Doan issue. Of course he doesn't disappoint.

Doan debate ridiculous: Cherry

CBC commentator Don Cherry has criticized a parliamentary committee for calling on Hockey Canada officials to explain why they named Shane Doan captain of the international hockey team.
During Cherry's popular Coach's Corner segment of Hockey Night in Canada on Wednesday night, Cherry defended Doan regarding an alleged derogatory cultural remark made by the Phoenix Coyotes forward in a 2005 game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Doan has denied the allegation, and the NHL has cleared him of any trangression.
"Is this the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?" asked Cherry. "With all the things going on in the world and we have a debate in the House [of Commons] because somebody said something. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Earlier Wednesday, Doan, who is taking part in the world hockey championship in Russia, said he was simply complaining to teammate Curtis Joseph about the officiating that night, telling the netminder, "'Four French referees in Montreal, Cuje, figure it out.'

I seriously have to agree, my husband thinks that this is just a way to get people supporting our Canadian team. I wish he was correct, but I think this is the true stupidity of our elected MP's showing through loud and clear.

Stanley goes to Afghanistan as a moral boost to our troops, and back in Canada our MP's are playing politics with our hockey players, during a very important tournament. They are internationally interfering with our troops and all NATO troops, did they think of that when they started this torture allegation? Are the opposition parties so stupid that they didn't consider that their politics would affect other countries?

The Taliban prisoners are innocent, but a Canadian hockey player is guilty? Please e-mail your MP's.

It appears the children are trying, with the help of the media, to run the daycare.
