Don Cherry still believes Canadians should wear a poppy for Remembrance Day .

Don Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada five years ago for promoting the sales of poppies to raise money and remember veterans.

The 90-year-old says he has no regrets on his position that the least Canadians can do is buy a poppy.

Grapes has built up his Don Cherry Grapevine podcast to one million listeners each week .

Fans have tuned in to hear him with his son Tim and daughter Cindy , who tragically and unexpectedly died this past summer .

This has rocked Don to his core and with the help of Peel cops, Bobby Orr , his fans checking in on him and his amazing family, he’s getting back on his feet.
