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.

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.

Joe Rogan said he will not visit Canada. It is a great day for Canada, and therefore, the world.

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.

Well I guess we can thank Trudeau for that 😁

  1. Not conservative aristofascist
  2. Repels Joe Rogan

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

That's exactly it. It's always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.

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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago

Good. Rogan is shit

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

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

[–] greenshirtdenimjeans 26 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago

Thank god 😊

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

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.
