We banned Eminem at his peak, we’re dumb as fuckin rocks on these subjects.
NWA and Beastie Boys too.
The Barenaked Ladies were banned FFS 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦🏽
And Jello Biafra.
Didn’t we just let a super felon rapist in like a month ago?
“Kneecap represents not only a threat to the Jewish community, but their incitement, their glorification of terror, represent a threat to all Canadian values and to all Canadians,” Robertson said
Not my values you fascist shit bag.
Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier. Canada certainly is not in a historical posture to pitch in on how to resist genocide.
A festival was held in Toronto about a month ago in support of Israel, wow crazy that Canada approved such a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
No problem with publicly supporting perpetrators of a genocide, right?

Wtf canada
Remember that american christian MAGA singer two months ago? 🤪
Fucking bullshit. Turn up your music so everyone can hear.
This Gasparro dude used to be a board member of Postmedia.
In July, a group of First Nations leaders called on the federal government to close the borders to the rappers, insisting that allowing them to perform violates the “spirit and obligations” of treaties between FN and the government.
This is also interesting.
But in general, we don’t have very strong free speech protections so I wouldn’t be surprised if they remain barred.
I’m done with Carney man, this shit is so ass.
Shameful
These guys and Gary Yourofsky have been banned from Canada. WTF!?
That’s fair, since they’re on the record as endorsing groups that are recognized by the Canadian government as terrorist entities:
A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”
To be even more fair; you’re directly quoting misinformation released by the Canadian government in support of Israel and their mass murder of Palestinian people (aka, genocide). This misinformation is a result of “Jewish” groups, which recently have shown themselves as basically being lapdogs for the Israeli state.
Kneecap aren’t anti-semetic, they are anti-Israel and as much as Israeli fascists want it to be; being against the Israeli state is not the the same as being against Jews.
Is this video misinformation? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ie5qs
This!!
Yes because people in power have always made decent decisions. The law is moral and might makes right…
I’m not sure what you mean by that comment - are you saying Hamas and Hezbollah are OK? I wouldn’t welcome a band that praises the IDF, and this is no different.
Hamas and Hezbollah are OK?
Where did I say this?
Hasbara-brained dummies will remember you saying whatever they want, without evidence.
They got marked as zionist.
How, they equated Hezbollah to the IDF. Regardless of any arguments about equivalence or lack thereof, I don’t think a zionist would ever do that.
what do you think of them?
what do you think of october 7th?
Ofcourse you go silent as soon as someone directly asks if you support October 7th… Coward.
Yet you ignore how 65k Palestinians were murdered by the IDF. How pathetic to throw insults.
Talk about deflection and straw manning. You still haven’t answered the question.
I don’t think you can take a single live artististic performance as “being on the record for endorsing” anything.
Eminem wasn’t endorsing everything in his lyrics.
Yes, like I said.
Me, an intellectual, looking at a guy wearing a Hezbollah flag and saying up Hamas, up Hezbollah: “actually that doesn’t prove he likes Hezbollah”
The band said on Monday “let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
“We condemn all attacks on civilians, always,” the band said.I find it hard to reconcile that with the video, but if they are willing to publicly apologize for it then they should be allowed into Canada.
It’s really easy to reconcile that with the video. It’s called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don’t entirely mean or haven’t entirely thought through.
