Don Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada in 2019 for controversial comments about immigrants and Remembrance Day poppies. Ron MacLean, his former co-host, suggested Cherry’s remarks were a deliberate exit strategy following a pneumonia scare. Cherry denies MacLean’s claims, expressing disappointment and stating he has no desire to discuss the matter further with MacLean.
