Americans threatening to move to Canada in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential victory are not welcome north of the border, outspoken hockey commentator Don Cherry suggested Wednesday.

The co-star of "Coach's Corner" took to Twitter late Wednesday morning to discourage any left-leaning U.S. citizens upset at the prospect of a Trump presidency from seeking refuge in Canada.

Cherry has made no secret of his right-leaning politics in the past.

He spoke at the inauguration of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford in December 2010. He wore a pink suit, saying his choice of attire was "for all the pinkos out there that ride bicycles and everything."
