“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.
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.
“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.
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.
Joe Rogan said he will not visit Canada. It is a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.
I could’ve swore I’ve seen him there. But turns out it was Scott.
Hope he stays in fucking Texas.
I keep hoping he goes somewhere else.
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!
Push them into Florida and then evict Florida into the abyss.
Given enough time, nature will do that for us!
Why would you be ashamed of Bieber? Did he do something I missed?
Biebs is just being a young rich kid. Only thing is he’s 30 now. He doesn’t do as much silly stuff as he used to, which is good.
I was kinda worried about him for a while: rich kids surrounded by “yes men” don’t always make solid decisions. Extrapolate that to worldwide fame and things can go seriously fucky.
Yeah I’m not a Bieber fan but being ashamed of someone for threading the needle to become a super star is weird.

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 miss the old podcast. I never knew that I wanted a long form interview with a taxidermist, a climate scientist or someone that travelled the rainforest looking for new species. But having experts in their field come on and talk about their subject showed their drive and love for their fields. The pundits where really off putting.
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!
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.
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.
He goes (or went) regularly to hunt. Not sure whether he’ll continue that with his current stance.
Ah; another good reason for this news then! Canada needs the wildlife more than it needs Rogan.
Out of curiosity, was he hunting grizzlies?
Good. Rogan is shit
Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that 😁
- Not conservative aristofascist
- Repels Joe Rogan
That’s 2!
fuckin’ legal weed, man.
Might be for the best.
TIL greater than zero people still listen to that clown rogan
the guy from fucking Fear Factor. Seriously.
Congratulations, Canada. Keep that trash out of your beautiful country
