Heard about this before, bullshit. I don't know how much sway these online petitions have but I signed and shared.

Me neither but I signed.

I'm usually pretty stoked to live in Canada but this is embarrassing.

is this a joke

Nope it's not a joke, this is for real and I live in the most populated city in the country so I would be utterly devastated if this happened.

Unbelievable really.

Did not think they would put this on the front page lol

Sign this, for my sake.

I sure fucking hope we get rid of Harper in the next election

I don't go for any of that BS, I have my ways. But the guy is a total dick, so I agree.

I defs didn't vote for him. Just the rich, white Christian vote.

All the younger and more progressive crowd voted NDP. Its just most people are on to their bullshit and don't vote, therefore the old folks have substantial numbers. Also, there is new evidence that proves the cons rigged the election.

I've always voted and supported NDP. I might have to go Liberal for this next election though just because Trudeau might actually be able to oust Harper.

Doesn't matter which political party is in power, rich politicians will fuck the lower and middle classes because ultimately they don't care about us. Anyone hoping that Trudeau or any other shithead politician will be any different from Harper needs to wake up.

Yea I agree Apollo, that's why I said I have my ways. I don't subscribe to any of it.

Don't trust anyone who's being paid

can we please talk about the tar sands?

fuck the tar sands. I hope Harper gets terminal inoperable cancer.

Or the cowardly felatio he performs on China by letting them invest in them after he said he never would.

I have nothing against the Chinese people, but no one should enable their insane government.

Class A tool.

Those smear campaigns on Justin Trudeau really took shots at discrediting Canadian politics in a huge way as well (not to mention the comments about Quebec were completely out of context, have some respect for the intelligence of your country's citizens). I'm getting sick of being represented by a bunch of greedy corporate sheep.

I don't fall for the obvious trickery but I worked on an interview with Justin Trudeau last year and it's no surprise why
people like the guy, he cried in front of everyone. Also the marijuana legalization thing is huge right now. I try to keep my
nose out of politics but it seems this fellow has some pretty strong support.

they're all shitheads but I don't care; elect someone who will stop the tar sands. it's kind of fucked how no one is talking about the most environmentally destructive project ever conducted by humankind. that's some grade-A greenwashing right there.

Stay on topic and get off your soapboxes please. If you want to talk strictly politics, email eachother or start a group chat on a messaging client. This is about music relating to poitics.

lol thread went rogue

I love where this thread is going. I'm completely clueless with Canadian politics so this interest me. :]

Honestly it's fine. There are always going to be crazy things happening(this regulation for example), but the majority of Canadian politics is very good.

It looks like your authoritative tone was..






NON-APPLICABLE

What exactly are they trying to do? I need a retards summary, thanks.

If godspeed was international, they would bring in bookoo bucks then damn wow

They're trying to make it that paid musicians have to pay like $500 dollars per member to play shows.

DO the math.

Starting to sound like the government with that attitude

Buddy needs to get the stick out of his ass.

Upon further research I've found that our discussion affects you as much as my ball scratching. E z princess.

Dude, it simple as this... Stay On Topic. It doesn't matter what your or my opinions/views on Harper and his party are, they're irrelevant to this conversation. That's why you can report a post for being... You guessed it! OFF TOPIC.

as a canadian i am ashamed the government would put such a ridiculous rule into action.

how does this benefit anyone? fuck sakes.

How is it off topic to talk about government policies and the source of these problems?

Seriously though, fuck this idea.

@DatBeefPudding

It solely benefits our "rich Canadian culture."

Lol.

NonApplicable shut the fuck up. if we want to talk about that stuff in here then we will. stop trying to earn a hall monitor badge or something.

"It doesn't matter what your or my opinions/views on Harper and his party are, they're irrelevant to this conversation."

...but...him and his party are the ones that passed this shit stain of a bill so it's pretty on topic

...but...him and his party are the ones that passed this shit stain of a bill so it's pretty on topic

I'm referring to "Or the cowardly felatio he performs on China by letting them invest in them after he said he never would." and "they're all shitheads but I don't care; elect someone who will stop the tar sands.".

It's equivalent to someone trying to shove religion down our throats. I'm not saying any of them are wrong, just be respectful of how others feel.

I don't care if I offend anyone on the other end of that argument. Go pound sand.

If you think it's ok to poison our land/people while supporting a corrupt government that neglects the health and safety of its citizens and suppresses freedom of speech with torture and persecution then you can blow it out your ass.

^ Fuck yea

I appreciate your effort

@spec

does they really give that as reasoning behind this decision? my god... i just facepalmed so hard. god politics are so messed up.

EDIT: that's not even drawing attention to the fact that Canada as a whole essentially lacks any culture whatsoever. we're just a melting pot that sucks the D of the American media lol

I don't care if I offend anyone on the other end of that argument. Go blow it out your ass.

Jesus Christ! If you want to prove a point, anger and insults are not the solutions. Also, when did I tell you what my stances on particular political issues were? I didn't. If you must know, I agree with stopping the tar sands. Do I need to throw that in everyone face unannounced? No, I don't.

Stop being over dramatic and learn a thing or two about manners.

LOL @ you telling us to get off of our soapboxes

The irony is that if he had said nothing this would have passed.

Thank god for small
MIRACLES

this petition is spreading like cancer on facebook

LOL @ you telling us to get off of our soapboxes

Is that the best you can do? Really?
