    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.

      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.

        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!

      Only under a multicultural system would people watch their culture get axed and say “Yeah, but we have other things to worry about!”

        Hmm. No offense, but your comment makes you sound like a bigot. I’m sure that wasn’t your intention. Can you please elaborate?

          How does it make me sound like a bigot? I’ve got other comments in this discussion expanding my thought about multiculturalism and what it l leads to.

            I read your other comments and I’m struggling to understand your point on multiculturalism.

            Saying multiculturalism isn’t a thing in Quebec is false. There’s such a great mix of cultures here that all integrated so well into our society. I couldn’t imagine Québec’s culture without the Haitian or Vietnamese diaspora for example. And we can’t deny the influence of the Irish and Scottish culture in our own, especially food and music wise. Or that of the First Nations with their myths and legends and general knowledge of nature and survival here. And obviously, the French.

            Québec’s culture is a melting pot of cultures that turned into its own thing. It’s the best example of what multiculturalism should be. Unlike Canada and it’s “post-nationalism”.

                Ah ok. I see what you mean now.

                I went to see what the difference is and I understand your point.

                  All good and I know a lot of people in Canada don’t understand the difference and think that Quebec just doesn’t want immigrants…

        What? Climate collapse is the only thing that should be on everyone’s minds. We’re literally living through “don’t look up” lol.

          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.

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

              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.

                But yeah how dare they cancel new years >:(
