You may notice an interesting pattern in these tête-à-tête encounters. Funny, that.
Did these musicians agree with the ideas and policies being espoused at various political rallies, party conventions, leaders’ speeches and so on? “Yes” in some cases, and “no” in most others.
This is the problem with social media. It is way too easy to respond without having all the facts. The TH are a has been group who make their money from 30-year-old music and should be pleased Canadians are (were) wanting to listen to them. This conservative will be removing them
There’s possibly the biggest scandal to hit Canadians politics brewing (hint: Chinese interference in elections) and you’re writing about Poilievre’s choice of music. Unbelievable. cdnpoli TrudeauNationalDisgrace
Taube’s conjecture is that musicians didn’t used to be political 🤔, but now are just “triggered lefties” who should just be thankful for the exposure to a larger market 🤡
I doubt that the Hip care if a nobody like michaeltaube no longer listens to their music. Taube puts up a brave front. The fact is that Poilievre is judged to be a prick and the CPC made a mistake selecting him as leader. Deal with it. cdnpoli
Tragically Hip front man Gord Downie is well known to have been best friends of Justin Trudeau! Any use of his songs by Conservatives is an intentional attack on Trudeau!
I'm surprised the Hip haven't dug up their dead Frontman, glued him to a stool and booked a Tour. The way they Marketed his demise was despicable.
If we can't even enjoy the same music or art we will truly fall as a country.
Pulling a page from the US GOP. You don’t have the right to use other people’s work without permission. It’s theft.
Hey journoids... your country has been captured by China.
I can see why an artist wouldn’t want their hard work to be associated with someone or something they don’t agree with. Socan rules are what they are though. It’s also very different when a group or person uses a tune as their walk-up song without permission.
Is this all that remains to criticize PP now? Lame.
Polys new Policy is to club tens of thousands of baby seals to death . True
Seriously NP?
You know China is deciding our elections with their placed PM ccp Trudeau. This is not a worthy story.
