You would think we would have bigger things to worry about than a concert, what with the climate breaking down, the economy being fucked, and housing and food being most of a paycheck.
If only we had a way to communicate the greater need for action, instead of placating the masses with bullshit consumerism! Nah you right, I’m just a wet blanket. Happy new year! It will be one of the coldest of the rest of our lives!
I’m afraid I’m going to have to report this latest comment to the Ministry of Climate Collapse and Also the Economy Even Though Climate Collapse Is the Only Thing That Should Be On Everyone’s Minds.
And a good way to get everyone to work together is to have what? A central culture people are attached to and where the environment is important instead of a bunch of cultures that don’t mix up and that care about whatever else is important to them, very often things that concern their country of origin more than the country they live in.
You won’t care about foresr fires in a province 4000km away if the news that you watch are exclusively the ones from a country 10 000km away.
Yeah I was watching the fire reports this year, got within two kms maybe less but with city between. It was a nerve racking time seeing the evacuation notices so close. Going to work one day could see them burning across the lake with red glows and hoping it wouldn’t get closer, it jumped the lake though. A good reminder to have a go bag ready in case you were evacuated on short notice, definitely had the car filled and provisions in case they were needed. Maybe it was an overreaction with so many buildings between but rather be prepared.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better. The co2 emissions from forest fires aren’t counted towards Canada’s carbon footprint either, despite producing more greenhouse gases than Mexico’s economy. I think we’re doing too little too late, and we’re just seeing the dominos start to fall.
That’s what happens when you mostly just watch American content and don’t support local productions, the government doesn’t see the point of funding the public broadcaster properly. Funny how Radio-Canada is more profitable than CBC even if French Canadians are not even a quarter of the population.

Good point - all things the CBC is solely responsible for.
However, I’m forced to award you 50 000 demerits for taking time away from fixing the climate and economy to write that comment. Do better.

Thank you for your service
Only under a multicultural system would people watch their culture get axed and say “Yeah, but we have other things to worry about!”
What? Climate collapse is the only thing that should be on everyone’s minds. We’re literally living through “don’t look up” lol.

You’re right about one thing. Nobody cared about the forest fires this year. Off the charts

But yeah how dare they cancel new years >:(
Darn now I won’t be able to watch an hours old recording of an outdoor concert from Toronto. New year’s eve will never be the same! /s
Been a few years since you watched it, yeah?

It’s what happens when conservatives scream “But muh tax dollars!” and succeed in getting CBC’s funding cut.
Fuck Poilievre and every one of his syncophants.
