All he had to do was make some kind of statement reinforcing Canada's sovereignty. It wouldn't even have to be fiery. Just "I'm flattered the president said that about me. Canada is a great nation and I respect its sovereignty." Attacking other nations' sovereignty is NOT normal. Silence =complicity

Great now HE’S the victim!
Typical redneck reaction.

Wayne: We're not the ones who left

Wayne needs to pick a team.

dorito5000.bsky.social•9 days ago

He did, look at how happy he is beside his rapist/dictator/narcissist buddy.

abellemare09.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tout ce qu'il avait à faire c'est de répondre devant la presse pour s'expliquer et bien non, il reste muet. Un silence qui en dit long sur son attachement à Trump et tout le reste!

It’s obscene. Canada made Wayne Gretzky the iconic hockey hero. That he’s overtly associating with someone threatening our sovereignty is absurd. Life lesson 101 “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” #wtfwayne

Making a poor decision about the company you keep has consequences. A poor judgement of character.

the fascist US politicians make noise about "moving the US border north" to support fascist Canadian politicians such as PP. It already worked for Doug Ford

What did he expect? He cosies up to DonOld who is threatening our country. Wayne is no longer welcome in Canada. Maybe we should petition to have his citizenship revoked like we are doing with Musk. Send a message that Canada is not playing those sick games with DonOld.

I think removing his Order of Canada would be more acceptable. I can’t say I agree with removing his citizenship, he was born here.

Trump … who prefers sports “heroes” and TV personalities over anyone actually qualified for a position … would love to foist Wayne on Canada as a future PM. Even though the man hasn’t even lived here in 40 years.

Good luck with that.

In 2009, Wayne Gretzky was awarded the Order of Canada, but still has not accepted the prestigious award, which led Christopher McCreery, an expert on the honour system, to say, “It's just embarrassing…(it's) insulting to the others who get them.

Someone needs to tell Wayne that he is the company he keeps.

katfeast.bsky.social•7 days ago

Too bad so sad. He should know that who you align yourself with matters. Especially as an athlete with sponsors’ support. Playing the victim by pleading ignorance doesn’t cut it. Canadians expect 100% not 99

Anyone remember the John Gallagher rant when he ran to LA, or Glenn Slather's comments?

john335i.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think for me it really started when he was advertising for gambling on hockey. To this day I can't stand it

trudl.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup, me too. Done and dusted.

costapow.bsky.social•8 days ago

He is “heartbroken”? Canadians don’t care. He has no clue how “heartbroken” we are having to fight an American President trying to economically cripple our country. Typical LA narcissistic whining from the Gretzkys. Orr and the Gretzkys only care about their feelings. No empathy for Canada.

thegilmour.bsky.social•9 days ago

Too f’n bad. Dude sucks.

debbie156.bsky.social•8 days ago

Gretzky is a foul person. You are who you hang out with Wayne.

Heartbroken my ass! Traitor!!

dorito5000.bsky.social•9 days ago

He hasn't lived here in almost 40 years, his silence on the threats & insults to his "homeland" speak volumes.
I heard him referred to as "The Great Once" (brilliant) that feels far more appropriate at this time.

jimparrett.bsky.social•9 days ago

We need a political cartoonist to draw Gretzky in a Nazi #99 uniform.

rwtrask.bsky.social•8 days ago

Many sports figures seem to crave adulation in the same way #Trump does and so it becomes natural to align themselves with him. The list is long and includes many icons like #Gretzky, Orr, Rodgers, Favre and even Jack Nicklaus. Society needs to get past (false) hero worship.

So the Great Once chooses his friendship with a nascent dictator who is threatening to annex us over Canada itself and when criticized he cries about it?? Even now he can't muster the energy to defend Canada against Trump. Fuck all the way off to Mar-a-Lago, Wayne, and take Bobby Orr with you.

Friends of our enemy are our enemy.

k-cuppa.bsky.social•9 days ago

Maybe #TheGreatOnce should come out and apologize to all Canadians for giving the USA players the 👍 multiple times and ignoring the Canadian players. I don't care if he bought them all red baseball caps that said #BeGreat. Were they made in Canada? I doubt it

trudl.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup, that thumbs-up did it for me.
The thought also struck me that, perhaps our ‘great one’ devoted more time on the ice than he did in school.🤔
It just wasn't a smart thing to do.

Not buying it. Gretzky or Orr. Actions matter far more than words.
