Opposition is mounting among Quebec’s federal Conservatives to their own party’s push to award the Order of Canada to controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry.
In a social media post late Thursday, the party’s Quebec lieutenant Pierre Paul-Hus said he believes appointing Cherry would be “a bad idea” given his “unacceptable remarks toward the Quebec nation and francophones.”
The Order of Canada is awarded in recognition of exceptional achievements, extraordinary contributions to the nation or remarkable dedication to a community.
