I call on voters to stop electing these asshats.
Conservatives have been behind every bullshit moral panic for well over 100 years. Hell, within the last few weeks we've seen them coerce Visa and MasterCard into banning video games they don't like.
If this guy doesn't meet the standards to perform at a government facility then that's what it is. There are a lot of bands I like that I wouldn't expect to he approved either. Imagine the conservative outrage if Nine Inch Nails were to perform Hersey in public (especially when you contrast the music with how nice Trent Reznor seems to be).
I was at a NIN show last night, they still bringing it. No heresy, but we got Head Like a Hole.
Awesome! They put on a great live show!
Oh yeah, 4 or 5th time seeing them π
His permits were revoked citing safety concerns first of all.
And the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has no bearing at all on permitting. He held his gathering unmolested by government. Canada has freedom of speech and his was respected (despite being a foreigner). He was not silenced. He was not persecuted. He is not owed an apology.
Another completely dishonest conservative politician drumming up hate to get attention. Disgusting.
Nah
βI will never apologize for refusing to give hate a platform.β Feel free to use that, Steven Guilbeault. No charge.
*I apologize if Steven Guilbeault is the wrong person. I canβt read French.
That's who I sent my email to.
Well, Ms. Conservative MP, the government should only consider apologizing for that after you're done apologizing, on behalf of your party, to every queer person or other minority who has been or might have been harmed by policies said party has advocated or put into place. Individually. By name.
We'll wait.
Why would they apologize? This asshole shouldn't of even been allowed in to perform.
Fuck off, Gladu.
@Davriellelouna I suspect there were reasons for the denial. It seems those reasons might be an important part of the story.
Well, no. While the right-wing industrial outrage complex might perseverate over some suspicious and hidden agenda, the truth is much simpler. Outside the bubble of red-right performative pearl clutching it is an Occam's Razor solution that is factually and blatantly clear: when your objective is to incite violence and intolerance, there is no Federal coddling or Constitutional protection. Even when you screw your toe into the ground and bat your fluttering eyelashes claiming innocence, you cannot pretend away the true meaning of this shill's tone-deaf rally. Hate-speech is dangerous to the public good as so is anyone who defends it.
@pubquiz So, basically, you're saying there were reasons that the article didn't name. Thanks.
Are you dense? Does every article written need full referencing for you to hold your smug comments? You are the reason a difference of opinion devolves into irrelevant diatribes on supposed tangents.
Fact: the "artist" is a right wing proponent Fact: the federal government does not support a point of view. Fact: the spewing of a political agenda is no sanctioned Fact: Even the Canadian champion of the right-wing nut-o-sphere, career political hack and recent loser, l'il pp, knows better than to spew his pus in federally funded venues.
Grow a brain. Or a brian, as the case may be.
Let me publicly apologize to you for the reaction your comment got.
This guy can eat a dick and I have no idea why we are giving him so much attention.
I fail to see what is wrong with your comment though. I read it several times. Perhaps others are misunderstanding what you said. Or I am I guess.
lol nope
Why?
"sorry"
