Good riddance

Spicy take: Don Cherry was always garbage and we're all lucky that he's 85 or he'd be PM right now. Literally the only good thing about him was that dog, and the dog died years ago.

Chipotle take: Ron MacLean is worse because the only thing worse than a racist is a racist who's also a hypocrite and an enabler. Literally the bar for white dudes in this country is milquetoast "racism is bad" and he can't even manage that unless his career's at stake.

Ghost pepper take: Men's hockey sucks anyway; women's hockey requires way more skill and is more interesting to watch.

I'm not sure what flavour to give this but: Watching hockey is often a social obligation, as sports is one of the ways that people of distinct social groups can forge connections around a common bond. However, watching men's hockey knowing that fighting is encouraged by the league and is leading to horrific mental and physical consequences to the workers, is morally wrong. Necessary in many social contexts, but still morally wrong.

I have to be informed for work reasons, though fortunately my kids tend to prefer basketball, which is a much nicer game for the most part.

Significantly fewer concussions. Plus, apparently a much better division of profits between Labour and Capital, according to an article I read online at one point.

Still a massive division but it's not a continuation of slavery the way American football seems to be.

Well said.
