Should the CBC renew Don Cherry's contract?

That was very well put MST.Mao Tse Tongue said:...when it comes to canadiana. Cherry's a lark, a xenophobic circus clown who talks like he drinks at The Legion, but he's also a fantastically savvy showman who makes it fun to watch otherwise deadly dull regular season games.
He's not running for office, merely being reelected as HNIC showman.
He's harmless--and entertaining.
I personally won't miss him if his contract isn't renewed. HNIC will endure without Grapes. Afterall, it is about hockey, not buffoonery or goonery.

Vancouver will not be renewing Brian Burke's contract as GM. Burke would be a good replacement for Cherry should the CBC not resign him. He tells it like it is and has an edge to him.

Burke might be a good replacement but is more likely to end as GM in Boston or Chicago than on CBC. His track recod is pretty strong despite the Canucks 1st round failures.
It would interesting to have the folks in Vancouver, Mtl, Ottawa and Alberta opinion on this as well. Cherry is admittedly a Leaf fan! I think outside the Leaf Nation, he is despised and ignored fo rth emost part.
Someone on TSN pointed out that on a Saturday night when the Leafs don't paly ratings are brutal despite Cherry's presence. Peole watch him as part of the game. They don't substitute him fo rthe game.
