Matt Duchene Speaks on the Canadian Protest in a controversial way
In case you haven't heard there's a huge protest going on in Canada. In Ottawa Ontario Canada, home of the Ottawa Senators, our nation's capitol has world wide attention on it. Protesters from other countries are mocking Canadian protesters.
Canadian icon and former host of "Coaches Corner" Don Cherry made some comments showing his support for the protesters saying,
"I'm 100% behind the truckers, they are the salt of the earth and the heart beat of our country. "
Don Cherry admitted he's fully vaccinated but believes it should be people's choice not mandatory saying,
"It should always be a person's own choice," added the former NHL head coach. "I have had three shots but it was my own decision. I did not tell anybody else what they should do and would never tell anybody what they should do. It's up to them. "
"Freedom of speech or choice, or how to vote, is why all of those soldiers died in wars. I am also impressed with all of the people out cheering on the highways and bridges," added Cherry. "They are out there offering lunches and pats on the back all across the country. It's amazing. I mean that's not easy. It's -20C out there. And yet they are there to let the truckers know they are with them."
Matt Duchene plays in America for the Nashville Predators he's a proud Canadian, and followed the situation closely. The NHL star wanted to share his thoughts on this matter saying, "I'm ALL for getting our country's freedom back. but guys, let's have some respect for our national heroes and the monuments that commemorate them. We are Canadians. We are polite, thoughtful, accepting, intelligent, proud and patriotic, let's protest in that manner."
Whether you agree or not with the protests it's getting serious attention I believe this isn't the last we will hear from the hockey community in this matter.
