Video: Don Cherry goes on anti-immigrant rant on national television

Don Cherry has brought us 'Coach's Corner' for decades in between the first period of Hockey Night in Canada. Cherry loves to tackle questionable issues at times, and on Saturday night he blamed the low poppy sales across Canada on immigrants who weren't buying poppies.

Cherry went on a controversial rant blaming immigrants for not caring enough about the people that sacrificed their lives for the country they live in. His co-host had no idea how to react as Cherry went on his tirade.

You be the judge:

One of Canada's political leaders weighed in on the comments:

I'm done trying to explain to people like @CoachsCornerDC that yes we too are Canadian, and that "us people" also sacrificed for the same freedom for all, side by side with other brave soldiers, even though we ourselves weren't afforded the same opportunities and freedoms. https://t.co/bG4aj81xUY
