I call on Conservative MPs to shut the fuck up.

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.

[–] TheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome! They put on a great live show!

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, 4 or 5th time seeing them 😎

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.

β€œI will never apologize for refusing to give hate a platform.” Feel free to use that, Steven Guilbeault. No charge.

*I apologize if Steven Guilbeault is the wrong person. I can’t 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.
