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!
OH NO!
Anyways...
Who likes puppies?
Did 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.
Sounds like this Canadien policy might just be working as intended.
Joe Rogan said he will not visit Canada. It is a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.
Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that 😁
There is free speech and hate speech, and we don't allow one of them... never have, never will, and that's not Trudeau, that's us being Canadians, being kind, and taking care of each other, and that's what makes us different from Americans.
Stop giving this brain damaged cretin the attention he craves
Most of us Canadians never have to worry about hate speech laws Joe, because most of us aren't running around saying hateful, race baiting, genocidal speech. If you worry about hate speech laws getting you, maybe you're the one with the issue
That's exactly it. It's always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.
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.
Uh, 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.
It's in our charter of Rights.
Thanks, that makes it even more funny. She was a funny lady but yeah, did drink a bit much.
He is free to stay right where he is. Canada doesn't need him.
Ah 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.
Good. Rogan is shit
I don't listen/watch Rogan anymore but I'm assuming the erosion of women's rights and project 2025 and voting rates and seizure of the supreme court has gotten him up in arms about his own country right? /s
Congratulations, Canada. Keep that trash out of your beautiful country
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.
I don't think you Canadians want him to visit anyway.
We really don't.
If he thinks we're far into the erosion of individual rights now, wait till he hears about our Conservatives!
The funny thing is that Americans think that guns and hate speech make them the freest country in the world.
Oh no! Anyway...
I'm sure Canada is devastated by this terrible, terrible news.
Thank god 😊
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.
Canada won't let Proud Boys nor Hells Angels across the border as they are declared terrorist organizations or somesuch.
This is Rogan showing out for them.
He’s not welcome here either.
I see this as an unqualified win for Canada.
Fuck joe rogan, that real-life thumb-thumb lookin' motherfucker
Joe Rogan peut donner un bisou à mon petit trou de cul au sirop d'érable.
I don't think anyone cares what Joe Rogan does or doesn't do, lol.
Good.
What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific 'free speech' he is referring to?
"Free speech" is a right wing dog whistle for hate speech.
“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 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.
What's going on Canada?
