Doesnt Neil Young have a song called Rocking in The Free World. LOL

Ya, and your Buddy Donnie tried to use it as his theme song during his 2016 campaign.

Neil told him to F uck off.

Neil seems to be batting 1000% in recognizing the Wingnuts of the world.

Have fun!

I will take systematic racism for $100

or maybe Manitoba Mennonites for $200

or Jason Kenny for the bonus round

Oh oh, Jazz is trying to play jeopardy at the Bingo Hall. Reminds me of the last time I had to work a bingo and one old guy with dementia thought it was a race to dob all the spaces and yelled bingo before a number was called.

The extremes of our politics have stoked this
Hatred, anti authority, anti democracy,
Anti social, it’s all about me and I know
More than the experts in order to get votes
And now we have to deal with it. The coo coos
Want to run things. The extremes can not accept
That their ideas are not the main stream. And
That goes both left and right political parties
Want these votes so they don’t outright condemn
Them when that’s what exactly has to happen.

its about carbon tax , govt corruption IN ALL PARTIES , its about telling people they couldn't be with their dying parent , its about that prick going to Barbados last christmas , its about him getting no punishment for all the ethics laws he has broke , its about going surfing on national reconciliation day , but mostly it is about a country brought to its knees by professional paid protestors.
its about the LNG plants that never got built in BC, its about the hydro dams that couldn't be built , its about the missed opportunities in the oil patch that consumers are going to pay dearly for at the pumps after reality bites the green dream for a long time.
its about a lying media that only reports one side
but mostly it is about 20-30% of the population deciding who runs this great country. all the signs were there when the child said that the budget would balance itself

Those of us who farm, are very fortunate that we can totally remove ourselves from society, take a deep breath, and recharge our batteries.

A show of hands if your batteries get drained by liberals, making you need that recharge from time to time?

I agree, society is restless like I’ve never seen it before.

I blame Canada’s first woman groping prime minister.

"the budget would balance itself"

IF we had descent, intelligent, moral MEDIA....that should have eliminated the PRI(K!

I love old Neil.
I don't pay any attention to any entertainers political narratives.
Bad I know but to old to worry about all that BS.
Media makes it a big deal.
I even enjoy some KD Lang. Not like she is going to convince me to quit eating meat or it makes any difference to her if I carry around a hate for her.
They are just entertainers to me.

Same. I don't rely on unqualified entertainers to shape my opinion on any subject. I can enjoy their entertainment and ignore their ill-informed political raving. I could care less about their race or gender or politics. If I got offended and quit listening to or watching an entertainer every time they say or do something I disagree with, I would soon be entertaining myself, because there would be no one else left on the approved list.

Similar to Chuck on here. I disagree with virtually everything he says and stands for, but he is still really entertaining to engage with, always coming up with some new jokes to keep us all entertained. So I keep reading and responding. Better than any of the professional comedians.

[Old Cowzilla]

Yup. But then what?

Probably just buy more dirt , oh boy

I think it was Jordan Peterson said if you watch the news you are misinformed, if you dont watch the news you uninformed.

I would love to turn it all off but I think its important to know who or what you are up against.

My theory.
People have not changed and will not until an evolutionary event occurs.
Media hasn't fundamentally changed. Editorials and political processes over time show this. Logically media, and politics, is a function of human nature, which has not changed.
Communication speed and efficiency is the game changer. Instantly affecting and broad audience reaching. And yet remote and not in person, non consequential.
Placing, like at no other time, responsibility on the individual.
Never before has the individual been a multiplier as today.
To slow down the process and allow reason to formulate, everyone would need to pause an appropriate length of time before responding to input.
It would look different if at least one hour would pass before we texted, or posted, anything.
Perhaps some obvious nonsense wouldn't ever get a reaction and therefore wither.
As leaders we could all exhibit measured reason to incite.
Not easy I know.
