Good Fellas

July 11, 2007 @ 09:38

You've got to feel good for two Canadians this morning.

David Onley, who's been named Ontario's next lieutenant-governor, and Don Cherry who's been given a lifetime membership to the Canadian Legion.

I've met both men over the years but I can't say I know either one of them personally, but I know both these designations will mean the world to both men.

I'm not much of a monarchist, far from it, and any attachment to the Queen annoys me, but Onley plans to use his five year term to improve accessibility for the disabled in Ontario and that sounds great to me.

Onley was stricken with polio when he was three years old and today needs a scooter to get around.

As for Cherry, he's been recognized by the legion for his unwavering and emotional support for Canadian soldiers. Anyone who's seen Hockey Night in Canada knows all about it.

Cherry is thrilled by this but in the eyes on others it will do nothing to lessen how ridiculous it is that this man has not received the order of Canada.

Love him or hate him, compared to some of the other jokers on this list, he deserves to be there.

Great choices as I had the pleasure of working with both men ( Onley @ CKO Radio
and of course when Don hired me as the voice of his
Mississauga Ice Dogs.)

I am very happy for both guys.

CONGRATS DON & DAVID !!!

Great, just what we need, another news anchor being appointed by our Government. Falls in line with what the federal government did with Adrienne Clarkson and Michaëlle Jean

Good for David. Congratulations.

Good for Don too. Although, I don't think there is a legion he couldn't get served in before this.

Why the hell hasn't he gotten the Order Of Canada? That is an outrage! Must be those anti-monarchist Quebec politicians blocking him.

Thanks for posting this article. I¡¯m definitely frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.
