And therefore the rest of the world!
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.
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.
Thanks, I appreciate the sympathy. And as a result ALL Great Pyrenese are wonderful beasts in my estimation. It's funny how a breed can become so lovable once I've developed a relationship with member of that breed.
Puppies are delightful!
Sounds like this Canadien policy might just be working as intended.
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.
Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that π
- Not conservative aristofascist
- Repels Joe Rogan
That's 2!
He is free to stay right where he is. Canada doesn't need him.
Good. Rogan is shit
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.
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.
I'm sure Canada is devastated by this terrible, terrible news.
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
I don't think you Canadians want him to visit anyway.
Thank god π
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.
Oh no! Who will suck off Alberta?
Danielle Smith is working her way through those who have been charged for violating Covid restrictions.
Heβs not welcome here either.
Hope he stays in fucking Texas.
TIL greater than zero people still listen to that clown rogan
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.
The people that embrace that shit think that, yes. However, there are plenty of us who donβt. Iβd appreciate not being lumped in with the former.
Sorry...granted...SOME Americans believe that hate speech and guns make them the freest country in the world.
Oh no! Anyway...
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.

It's not like he's wanted up here anyway.
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.
βThey 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,β 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. Itβs just that itβs not recognized because itβs been focussed on marginalized groups such as welfare recipients.
βThey 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,β 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.

and nothing of value was lost...
"Joe Rogan says he wont visit a country with a higher freedom of the press than his"
Bet he still goes anyway
bet he gets rejected at the border.
As 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.
Joe Rogan is what happens when people who skip leg day get a podcast.
