www.savedoan.ca Tell your Government to Butt Out!!! (petition 14,000 signatures)

Hockey officials' impassioned defence of Team Canada's captain left an unimpressed Bloc Quebecois leader comparing Shane Doan to a bank robber and accusing him of racial profiling.

Doan, who is taking part in the world hockey championship in Russia, said he was simply complaining to teammate Curtis Joseph about the officiating that night, telling the netminder, "'Four French referees in Montreal, Cuje, figure it out.' boo freakin hoo

"I would have done the same thing if we were in Los Angeles and it was four officials from California," said Doan. "Or if we were in Calgary and it was four westerners."




CBC commentator Don Cherry has criticized a parliamentary committee for calling on Hockey Canada officials to explain why they named Shane Doan captain of the international hockey team.


Don Cherry believes government officials should leave Shane Doan, left, alone and concentrate on more important issues.

During Cherry's popular Coach's Corner segment of Hockey Night in Canada on Wednesday night, Cherry defended Doan regarding an alleged derogatory cultural remark made by the Phoenix Coyotes forward in a 2005 game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Doan has denied the allegation, and the NHL has cleared him of any trangression.

"Is this the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard?" asked Cherry. "With all the things going on in the world and we have a debate in the House [of Commons] because somebody said something. It's absolutely ridiculous."

Earlier Wednesday, Doan, who is taking part in the world hockey championship in Russia, said he was simply complaining to teammate Curtis Joseph about the officiating that night, telling the netminder, "'Four French referees in Montreal, Cuje, figure it out.'

"I would have done the same thing if we were in Los Angeles and it was four officials from California," said Doan. "Or if we were in Calgary and it was four westerners."

Cherry believes Doan's version of the story, and doesn't understand why government officials are using this as an issue.

"That's all he [Doan] said. He didn't say they were bad guys," continued Cherry. "It's unbelievable that something like that would go on."

BQ gets controversy rolling

Earlier this week, the Bloc Qu?b?cois received the support of all parties to demand Doan's removal as captain and summon Hockey Canada officials before a parliamentary committee on Thursday.

While Cherry isn't concerned with how the situation will affect Doan, he worries about NHL linesman Michel Cormier's reputation because of the upcoming hearing.

It was Cormier who made the allegation through court documents in March 2007 that Doan made a cultural slur during the second period nearly two years ago.

"Shane is going to be fine," concluded Cherry. "I think the victim in this thing is Michel Cormier. I can hear the players saying, 'That's the guy that squealed.' He's being used by some people to make a point. This guy will be remembered for this forever."

They are frenchmen, to hell with political correctness. Half in Quebec, could you not realize who I was talking about? I wish they would pack up and move to France with the other frenchmen but France doesn't want them either.

Referees can be such nerds sometimes.

This actually makes the Bloq Quebecois look bad.

What do separatists care about Team Canada?

Aren't there a couple of islands off the coast those franks can move to, if they really want to separate?

Man, I hate Quebec. When will Canada stop supporting that craphole?

P.S. so how many referendums have the seperatists lost by now? Shouldnt they atleast be required to win more referendums than they lose? And why doesnt a lost referendum mean the case is shut? Why should they be allowed to keep trying? But, if they do win and do try to separate, I hope Canada has the balls to give them nothing but the smallest strip of land. Not a chance in hell do they deserve to get all of the current lands they hold. If necessary send in the troops.

Jinju, you'ce expressed yourself very rudely and seem not to know what you're complaining about. I'm from Quebec and I certainly don't think it's a craphole. Most people who visit Montreal, Quebec City and the Laurentians like it very much.
To answer your question, there's been a grand total of two referendums on Quebec sovereignty in the last twenty-seven years and the separatists lost both times. In the last Quebec provincial election (a month or two ago) the separatist Parti Quebecois came in third place. I don't think they've won the popular vote in about 12 years. The vast majority of Quebecers, English-speaking and French-speaking, don't want another referendum. What makes you think the issue isn't shut? What makes you think "they" are keeping on trying?

Well there are idiots everywhere and someone who hates all Quebecers or French people is just a racist. If I would have been there I would have said something to that guy. I played competitive hockey when I was young and once the team in the level below me had to be escorted out of a rink in Quebec by the police because the parents were so crazy so it goes both ways. I think the hatefulness comes from these kinds of incidents.

I think you are giving too much significance to the term frenchman. It used widely and like I gave in my example there was a "french guy" calling Briere a "frenchman."

If the seperatists want their autonomy and to be associated with France, shouldn't they be called frenchmen??
