“I can’t be a racist sack of shit and spew hate speech in Canada so I’m not coming!” - a fetid sack of gangrenous anal sphincters.

    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.

    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.

    You’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.

    What exactly is he talking about? Which law prohibits the specific ‘free speech’ he is referring to?

      “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.

        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.

    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.
