- A significant amount of the surface-level overview of the candidates and their advocates also comes from their articles on Academic Kids and/or Wikipedia. I could have done a better job citing information on Tommy Douglas, which I pulled from many sources, but I'll do it in greater detail when we eventually cover him.

- Many small Don Cherry facts are sourced from the following link:
- https://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/hockey/opinion/2014/02/happy-80th-birthday-wishes-to-don-cherry.html
- The article itself is unsourced, other than the author crediting Don's son Tim Cherry for "proof-reading"; many of its claims can be verified from other sources, but some I couldn't find reliably elsewhere. These include: Cherry believing he could have made the Bruins were it not for his injury (the injury is also mentioned by Bret Hart in the GC pitch episode); Doug Adam stepping down as Rochester coach due to being punched (the article says "Legend has it" and the incident is alluded to in the Cherry biopic); and that Cherry choked Mike McEwen on the bench (all other sources say he grabbed his jersey or equipment).
- Source for the anecdote about Cherry as a construction worker, and the quote about being fired from Boston:
- https://www.espn.com/espn/eticket/story?page=doncherry
- Source for Don Saleski criticizing Cherry's coaching style:
- https://twitter.com/billmeltzer/status/1194011566590570496
- Meltzer has a screenshot, but doesn't say the source other than "a profile on Saleski from 2012 or 2013" and did not respond to my request for elaboration.
