Joe Rogan says he won't visit Canada due to Justin Trudeau's 'ridiculous free speech laws'

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.
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.

Sounds like a win for Canada!

And therefore the rest of the world!
Yes, it appears Trudeau’s laws are working as intended. Excellent.
- Just to be clear, these are not Trudeau's laws. Canadian anti-hate speech laws have been on the books for decades.

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)
Puppies are delightful!

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.

Sounds like this Canadien policy might just be working as intended.

Stop giving this brain damaged cretin the attention he craves

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.

Bullshit. Its gone far beyond that.
- Clearly there's some passion here. Can you elaborate on this? As someone who is not Canadian, I'm not fully in the loop. Are there credible examples of anti-hate-speech laws in Canada being used to prosecute people for things other than hate speech?
- Elaborate before we all assume things about your reading comprehension.

Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that 😁

Not conservative aristofascist

Repels Joe Rogan

That's 2!
- fuckin' legal weed, man.

Most of us Canadians never have to worry about hate speech laws Joe, because most of us aren't running around saying hateful, race baiting, genocidal speech. If you worry about hate speech laws getting you, maybe you're the one with the issue

That's exactly it. It's always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.
Can you provide any examples of him ever doing that?
- Of him being concerned about hate speech laws? It's in the link.
- You want examples of what exactly? Rogan using hate speech? He's one of those guys that instead of talking hate speech, he'll invite a bigot on his show, listen to the bigot being a bigot while Joe goes "that's interesting.... I've never thought of it that way"
  
  In any case I'm commenting on his concern with our hate speech laws, which only hateful bigots are ever concerned about. Is regular folk don't do that kind of stuff

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.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_6_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms#:~:text=Under the heading "Mobility Rights,remain in and leave Canada.
- 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.

He is free to stay right where he is. Canada doesn't need him.

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.

Congratulations, Canada. Keep that trash out of your beautiful country

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?

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.

I don't think you Canadians want him to visit anyway.

We really don't.

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.

TIL greater than zero people still listen to that clown rogan

the guy from fucking Fear Factor. Seriously.

Oh no! Anyway...

I'm sure Canada is devastated by this terrible, terrible news.

Thank god 😊

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.

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.

Hope he stays in fucking Texas.

I keep hoping he goes somewhere else.

He’s not welcome here either.

Oh no! Who will suck off Alberta?

Danielle Smith is working her way through those who have been charged for violating Covid restrictions.

I see this as an unqualified win for Canada.

Fuck joe rogan, that real-life thumb-thumb lookin' motherfucker

I don't think anyone cares what Joe Rogan does or doesn't do, lol.

Joe Rogan peut donner un bisou à mon petit trou de cul au sirop d'érable.

Il peut bien me licher la raie, comme on dit.

"The guy that played the janitor from News Radio has thoughts."

He also provided color commentary on people eating bugs.
- Its the only way to make a living thanks to Kalus Schwab and the globalists (/s)
I like to pretend that season 4 of News Radio was the end of Joe's career.
- I can get behind this idea.
that character was uneducated but street smart. Joe is uneducated but street dumb too.

Good.

"Joe Rogan says he wont visit a country with a higher freedom of the press than his"

It's not like he's wanted up here anyway.

I don't really get the point of Joe Rogan any more.

As a comedian, he's okay? He's probably no better than over a dozen other comics, and his appeal seems to be limited to a certain demographic nowadays.

As a commentator on MMA, many in combat sports doubt his ability to commentate compared to other, more experienced analysts. Some of his takes are outright biased or bizarre, and while he'd undoubtedly kick most people's ass, he's apparently not that active in grappling any more due to injuries.

That leaves the podcast...which probably has a lifespan that won't outlast his other grifts. Once the comedy work dries up, the MAGA love-in is gone, and he stops working for UFC I don't really see what's left to prop his name up.

his best work was in newsradio and he sucked in that.

"ooga booga", he added.

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.

Bet he still goes anyway

bet he gets rejected at the border.

Might be for the best.

Promise?

As an American, I’m jealous

Thanks Trudeau!

common canada and trudeau w

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.

Hey finally something we can add to the "Pro" list for Trudeau!

You'd think this is good news but National Post basically exists to serve the Conservative party so all this tells me is that a lot of Canadians are loving the idea of identity politics.
