MapleEngineerJoe Rogan says he won't visit Canada due to Justin Trudeau's 'ridiculous free speech laws'
MushuChupacabra
PronellAh yes, the free speech of blocking highways with semi trucks.
From the “It’s okay to run over protestors” crowd. That’s speech to them too.
HikingVetHope he stays in fucking Texas.
I keep hoping he goes somewhere else.
Awesome. While you’re at it can you convince Jordan Peterson to permanently move down to Texas with you? We’d love to get rid of that shit.
Honestly, most Canadians are more ashamed of Peterson than Bieber and that’s a fucking accomplishment.
Fuck no, he’s yours to keep. We’re full on crazies, especially in Texas!
Push them into Florida and then evict Florida into the abyss.
ÆnimaGiven enough time, nature will do that for us!
Why would you be ashamed of Bieber? Did he do something I missed?
Biebs is just being a young rich kid. Only thing is he’s 30 now. He doesn’t do as much silly stuff as he used to, which is good.
I was kinda worried about him for a while: rich kids surrounded by “yes men” don’t always make solid decisions. Extrapolate that to worldwide fame and things can go seriously fucky.
Yeah I’m not a Bieber fan but being ashamed of someone for threading the needle to become a super star is weird.
ebits21Might be for the best.
Ember JamesOH NO!
Anyways…
Who likes puppies?
Atelopus-zetekiDid you see that alien post, they beamed up a cow, because a human called them 'grass puppers'. So hilarious. Do you have a favorite breed? I love them all.
I did not know that was a thing and any connection was by accident. lol
I too love them all but my favourites are shepherd dogs, specifically . Great companions, super intelligent, and some of the most beautiful animals on the planet. I also have a massive soft spot for Bull terriers because the are the cutest and funniest dogs in existence.
I know you said you loved them all, but do you have any breeds that lead the pack? (Pun absolutely intended)
Nah, I've had doggy friends in various breeds and mutts over the years. I had a Great Pyrenees named Thistle, super friendly, and enthusiastic. Worked as a livestock protector, brave and faithful. But couldn't understand the danger posed by the road in front of his farm, and thus was his lift ended, all too soon.
I am sorry to hear that, thistle sounds like they were a good pupper. I’ve lost one too many to the ignorance of roads myself and it is never fun.
Puppies are delightful!
How often did Rogan go to Canada anyway? He probably had no immediate plans to visit. As soon as someone offers him money to perform, this alpha dog will cross the border. He’s all talk like every other loud mouth idiot.
He goes (or went) regularly to hunt. But sure whether he’ll continue that with his current stance.
Ah; another good reason for this news then! Canada needs the wildlife more than it needs Rogan.
Out of curiosity, was he hunting grizzlies?
Grant_MGood. Rogan is shit
Congratulations, Canada. Keep that trash out of your beautiful country
Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that 😁
That’s 2!
fuckin’ legal weed, man.
RubberDuckI miss the old podcast. I never knew that I wanted a long form interview with a taxidermist, a climate scientist or someone that travelled the rainforest looking for new species. But having experts in their field come on and talk about their subject showed their drive and love for their fields. The pundits where really off putting.
solsangraalTIL greater than zero people still listen to that clown rogan
the guy from fucking Fear Factor. Seriously.
I don’t think anyone cares what Joe Rogan does or doesn’t do, lol.
Promise?
As an American, I’m jealous
Joe Rogan probably has a DUI on his record or something like that that prohibits him from entering Canada.
I knew this lady who went to the same saloon in Seattle that I frequented. Anyways she was a Canadian citizen but she got a DUI in the USA and she couldn’t go home until she did the requirements for entry.
ShadowUh, CBSA can’t refuse you if you’re a Canadian citizen for an American DUI. She definitely wasn’t a full Canadian if she had to do anything.
Thanks, that makes it even more funny. She was a funny lady but yeah, did drink a bit much.
This. So many Canadians don’t understand Section 6. Freedom of movement means that you can cross interprovincial boundaries freely, live anywhere you want to live in Canada, and leave and return to Canada any time. It doesn’t mean you can drive without license, registration, and insurance and it doesn’t mean that the government can’t require you to quarantine when you return.
The Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms should be a required, full semester course in highschool and a passing mark of 80% should be required to graduate.
She probably could go home but couldn’t get back into the states after.
Most likely. As a Citizen you have right of entry so you cannot be denied entry to the country if you can get to the border. The US never has to let you in.
Sounds like this Canadien policy might just be working as intended.
Sounds like a win for Canada!
Nik282000And therefore the rest of the world!
Yes, it appears Trudeau’s laws are working as intended. Excellent.
Just to be clear, these are not Trudeau’s laws. Canadian anti-hate speech laws have been on the books for decades.
He is free to stay right where he is. Canada doesn’t need him.
trainsaresexyYou’d think this is good news but National Post basically exists to serve the Conservative party so all this tells me is that a lot of Canadians are loving the idea of identity politics.
The National Post newsroom has the slightest hint of residual journalistic integrity. Their Opinion Pieces are straight up right wing propaganda.
I’m sure Canada is devastated by this terrible, terrible news.
What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific ‘free speech’ he is referring to?
chicken“They can come down on you for a lot of things. They seized up the bank accounts for people who were protesting, the truckers. People who were donating to the truckers, they seized their bank accounts,” Rogan said.
I don’t know what “a lot of things” is gesturing at, maybe he doesn’t either. Use of payments censorship to shut down protests without legal proceedings is legitimately worrying, though this is something right wing commentators tend to fixate on to the exclusion of the same stuff when used against people who aren’t their audience. Here’s an article that says a lot about this which I think has a good perspective on this.
All these cases happen somewhere distant to a person in the US or Canada, so could it be that the Truckers struck a nerve because this was the first time that citizens of a democratic Western nation were subject to payments oppression? The answer is no. Cashless payments censorship has a long and established tradition in Western countries. It’s just that it’s not recognized because it’s been focussed on marginalized groups such as welfare recipients.
psvrh“They can come down on you for a lot of things. They seized up the bank accounts for people who were protesting, the truckers. People who were donating to the truckers, they seized their bank accounts,” Rogan said.
One, this is normal. Large amounts of money moving in sketchy ways always gets FINTRAC’s attention. The only reason this is getting traction is because white people got caught up in it–instead of Muslims or Tamils or suchlike–and white people finding out that laws apply to them is always funny to watch.
Second, wait until he finds out what Homeland Security can do. FINTRAC is actually pretty lightweight compared it’s American equivalents.
“Free speech” is a right wing dog whistle for hate speech.
He’s not welcome here either.
StalinwolfOh no! Who will suck off Alberta?
Danielle Smith is working her way through those who have been charged for violating Covid restrictions.
Well that should give Trudeau a nice boost in popularity, I’m guessing.
I’m relatively sure we’re not crying in our Molson Canadians because a 'roided out douche isn’t going to come here.
Calling it Trudeau’s policy is just another lie from Rogan.
Those hate speech laws have been on the books for a lot longer than Trudeau has been involved in politics.
Avid AmoebaAs far as I can tell either the National Post added Trudeau to the equation or Canada Proud, which they cite. It’s sacks of rotten sphincters all the way down.
AlbumBet he still goes anyway
