We should probably just make sure no kids go hungry, no matter how racist their dads are.

idk, we have city councillors here in toronto that have openly supported BDS and they still have their jobs, so i'm guessing that particular fear might be a little over exaggerated

just a thought. i'm really having a hard time finding a fault here, because it seems like exactly the intended effect

This guy isn't even a chud or anything. I've known him a long time, he's not going to get cancelled. He's just some terminally liberal pod save listening type. His whole identity is wrapped up in middle of the road centrist liberalism. He is a Canadian excited for Biden. He's just the "mayo is too spicy" of politics. He simply cannot allow himself to believe one side is worse than the other because then he would have to treat politics like its more than watching sports.

it is exactly that. no one's children are going hungry because they got cancelled for being a virulent dipshit. it's an absurd hypothetical people who want to be able to run their mouth at work bring up because suddenly there are maybe some minor consequences even for white men in the workplace.

i mean, how's shawn simoes doing these days? just fine, actually.

Even if that were a thing that actually happened, which it isn't, it still presumes that someone other than the chud should feel remorse about the consequences of his actions.

I heard that nonsense occasionally on the roadside, usually from some guy caught going double the speed limit through a school zone at three in the afternoon or whatever, launching into a sob story about problems he had long before he made the decision to maybe kill some strangers' kids. gently caress him for putting that on me.

the only high profile “cancellation” I can remember involving a Canadian was the hockey player who got cut for sexist Instagram messages, but even then he was playing for an American team. I don’t think people are crazy for worrying that a private joke or political stance will get them fired (like that chick who gave Trump the finger), but it doesn’t really seem to be a problem in Canada where we don’t have “at will” employment.

I mean, he's trying but he hasn't exactly been able to come back as a household name.

His first attempt at a comeback was hilariously bad podcast that was basically just him doing same thing he used to do on his intro bits on Q and he was roundly mocked for it. He's got some new thing now but it seemed to have been launched with intentional lack of fanfare.

His next effort, the following year, involved an error-riddled personal essay in The New York Review of Books, part of a cover package on “The Fall of Men.” He downplayed the accusations of sexual assault and misconduct made by over 20 people, while assuring readers that women still reach out to him for sex.

Sorry I didn't really articulate my post well, what I meant is there's lots of high-profile cases in the U.S. of non-famous or barely famous people getting fired for stuff they said or wrote outside of work, and these "cancel culture" articles are clearly preying on that fear, but afaik it's much harder to fire people for the same stuff in Canada. I assume that's why the Hydro One guy who harassed that reporter got rehired. Maybe that's a little naive, I should show my boss my "lust for boomer death" post to test my theory out.

On a side note, it's extremely telling that people like Cherry/LeDrew/Weiss have shown absolutely zero support for stricter labour laws despite seeing themselves as victims of draconic employers. Live by the sword die by the sword I guess

I can't muster sympathy for Ghomeshi but, drat, he was a top-flight interviewer. Q has not been anywhere near as good since Jian's cancellation.
