Wtf canada
Remember that american christian MAGA singer two months ago? 🤪
1:1 eh? I guess. 😄
did you see that bozo barred from entering Canada? or even from performing? naah..
You mean the MAGA singer who had a sold out show in Toronto.
Didn’t we just let a super felon rapist in like a month ago?
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.
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?

Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier
Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. A brutal occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah killed many Lebanese political figures including the most famous one, Rafik Hariri.
To defend Bachar El Assad, they slaughtered sunnis across Syria.
The judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion ? He receive death threats from Hezbollah.
Let's not white wash their bloody crimes.
For sure, but let's also be realistic here, three Irish rappers holding up a flag isn't exactly carrying any water.
The fact that they were brought up on hate speech charges for holding up a flag that was tossed on stage at one of their shows is more of an indictment of the heavy-handedness of UK law than of them.
I'm sure their frequent criticism of the British treatment of colonial peoples has nothing to do with their legal problems, like pointing out that the Black and Tans that terrorized the Irish in the 1920s were relocated to Palestine after they were done in Ireland.
Fucking bullshit. Turn up your music so everyone can hear.
Shameful
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
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.
