lol
bigotry?
heh heh
all the people who ever immigrated to Canada from those countries did so to escape their crappiness, with the intent to do something better this time around

yes, those countries that would wipe out Canadian content
and white bread our culture right out of existance
maybe your culture deserves extinction
but obviously several million Canadians think otherwise about OUR culture

you you anti canadian bigot you, (lol)

and the cbc commented on how Downie is regarded in CANADIAN literary circles
if you do not know what those types of circles are
look them up

and if you make art out to be like POLITICS because JT was there
shame on you

Can't say I liked this Dudes style of music, but maybe it's all in the lyrics, not my style, but to each his own I guess.

They are people who hate Canada and and everything it stands for.


Canada stands for the Tragically Hip?

They were a band which was around for a while. They have a lot of fans (including myself) and the loss of anybody's life to cancer is tragic. However, this was nothing more than their final concert. The Hipsters are trying to blow it into something more. How Tragic.

Scalpers had balls back in the day when they stood outside the Gardens (or the like) and hard sold. This new breed of mega creep isn't much better than an internet troll

goddamn kids, some of you can really get mad. :lol:

not sure if it's because I called them sh!tty or their elton john/jimmy hendrix/michael stipe copycat hat-dude is a millionaire.

look, these protohipsters would be nothing if not for cancon regs. if they were actually any good they'd have an international audience and influence.

hell, I can't stand most of the beatle's stuff either. rush blows, neil young is a goof and nickleback can choke and die.

anyway, when you've got a good library/resume like the guess who, april wine, paul anka or david foster, and I get cranky, then lose yer jimmies and red me 'til kingdom come I say.

am I the only one who doesn't give a good goddamn about this sh!tty over-rated band and some preachy millionaire who has cancer?

I could be wrong but it's not very important.

No. There are about five other people.

And yes, you are wrong.

hell, I can't stand most of the beatle's stuff either. rush blows, neil young is a goof and nickleback can choke and die.

So you dont like music. That explains it.

Not a troll for not giving a shyte. A lot of real people don't. It's for blatantly advertising the fact in hopes of getting a rise ... but I can see how that would be too complicated for a union guy who hates "left"
