Canadians split on Don Cherry’s Order of Canada nomination — those who know who he is, that is

Quebecers and Liberals least likely to approve of giving him the award, while younger Canadians less likely to know who he is

A new Leger poll has uncovered a three-way split among Canadians on the question of whether hockey commentator Don Cherry deserves the Order of Canada: Those who think he does, those who think he doesn’t, and those who have never heard of him.

The latest poll is titled Federal Government Satisfaction: Survey of Canadians, and asks about voting intentions, government performance and use of the notwithstanding clause, among other topics. But tucked away in its pages is this query: “There is currently a petition to have Don Cherry named to the Order of Canada. Do you feel Don Cherry should receive the Order of Canada?”


He is not a controversial choice.
