Hockey commentator Don Cherry is in the hot-seat again, after complaining that he rarely sees people he believes to be new immigrants wearing poppies ahead of Remembrance Day.
During his weekly appearance on Hockey Night in Canada, the 85-year-old singled out those he believes are immigrants in Toronto, prompting a swift online backlash.
Paula Simons, an independent senator from Alberta, says that hasn't been her experience and condemned the sentiment behind Cherry's remarks.
Poppies are sold every year by The Royal Canadian Legion to raise money in support of veterans and their families.
