Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has demanded climate skeptic Hockey commentator Don Cherry think about all the children who might one day not be able to play outdoors on the ice in Canada.
Don Cherry says “cuckaloos” believe in global warming
Don Cherry calls people who believe in global warming ‘cuckaloos’

Sunday, February 4, 2018, 6:16 PM – Known to many as the most outspoken man in sports, iconic Canadian commentator and television personality Don Cherry is once again facing criticism after offering input to a discussion well outside of the hockey world.
During his CBC Hockey Night in Canada segment Coach’s Corner on Saturday, a day after groundhog Wiarton Willie predicted six more weeks of winter, Cherry implied that Canada’s ongoing cold weather was contradictory to the concept of global warming.
“He predicts six more weeks of cold weather”, Cherry said, seated in front of a plush-toy likeness of Willie. “Now, I’d like to ask you with your left-wing pinko friends: What about the warming trend,” he asked co-host Ron MacLean.
When MacLean tried to change the subject, Cherry persisted.
“I’m just asking, the cuckaloos always say ‘the warming trend’; we’re freezing to death,” he said.
“We’re not totally cuckaloos if you look at some of the thing’s going on in our world,” MacLean replied.
The formed Boston Bruin’s coach has been known to be unapologetically opinionated on and off screen, making his two-cents known as to Toronto’s bike lanes, politics, European imports to the NHL, and weather or not female journalists may go inside NHL locker rooms to seek interviews.
Cherry has faced criticism on social media for his comments.
For hockey you can turn to Coach's Corner if you want, for climate change, Canadians turn to scientists.
But Don Cherry might want to think about all those kids who might not have outdoor rinks to play on some day. #CLIMATECHANGEISREAL https://t.co/ObVwwYLiAr

If there is one country in the world which could potentially benefit from global warming, that country is Canada. Most of the population is jammed up against the “warm” southern edge of the country, leaving vast empty wildernesses to the north. A few degrees warming might make those vast empty regions more habitable.
As for Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna’s suggestion that ice in Canada might someday be a thing of the past, I think I’ll go with Don Cherry’s position on that kind of prediction.
When is the next vote to break up the Canadian union?
Put your ear to her head – I’ll bet you can hear the ocean.
Heh heh
I didn’t think you could hear anything in a total vacuum.
Oh dear, Canada’s Climate Barbie strikes again. Maybe she’s talking of Vancouver.
I saw lots of pond hockey in the lower mainland, both this year and last year.
I am curious what special training and scientific evedince this environment minister is using to make this prediction? If there had been not photoshopping of polar bears, if the polar icecaps would have disaapeared as warrened in “an inconvenient truth” Los Angelas and New York were underwater as predicted by the same so called scientists in the same movie would have happened then maybe just maybe I might take her with a grain of seriousness but alas it has been proven that since the last ice age we have been changing and we are not facing world destruction as her idol Al Gore predicted I am going with she is bat shit crazy like the rest of them!
My heart bleeds for the poor Canadians. No more ice hockey. They will have to live without it, like Australians.
I went down town and listened to this Minister speak.
She proudly boasted of her ignorance of the Climate Change File and Climate Change prior to being “made” Minister of the Environment&Climate Change..
Then she continued to speak,proclaiming her continued ignorance of Climate Change,weather and the real world.
Climate Barbie was coined by Faith Goldie of Rebel TV, a perfect label for this professional leech.
Liberalism is a progressive disease.
Progressive like rust.
The words almost fit:
Climate Barbie is a little confused Dons got it right!Go Don Go
Here in the UK we have a standstill in many areas from albeit a small amount of snow but nobody in the media is highlighting the prediction of no snow made by the climate scientists and as in a reasonably sane world would result in an end to spending any money at all based on their predictions. I bet this sort of stupidity on the part of the politicians will be equally little coverage when it becomes clear they were totally cretinous at best.
In other Canadian news, another Climate Warrior faces inconvenient problems:
“OTTAWA—Elizabeth May is asking Green party members to help cover the “new and unexpected” cost of a workplace bullying investigation into her own alleged behaviour — an investigation that she called for herself in the face of accusations from former staffers last week.”

Climate Change has so many effects…
Elizabeth May, leader of the party of 1, the number of seats the Green Party has in the House of Commons, born in Hartford Connecticut.
Don’t worry, next JT cabinet shuffle she could be Minister of National Defense, or Minister of Health. Cabinet shuffles in the past have done this, qualifications don’t seem to matter in running Canada.
Another nickname for her is “photo Barbie” from her habit if hiring a photographer to catch her at her most dramatic moments. For more details watch from 49 seconds at the posting Jeff Labute February 4, 2018 at 8:51 pm
Must have learned that from JT, Canada’s greatest “photo bomber” ever.
After 33 years of predictions that have not been realized, Global Warming caused by humans hasNO PROOF. To see why this has happened, and to see what Deadly Climate Change we should be preparing for, See Paullitely.com. It’s real science, not Political Science that has created a huge industry dependent on continuing the Global Warming story as long as possible. See Paullitely. Com to understand and plan for the future climate that will be undeniably obvious by 2021.
