Canada hasn’t had a sense of humor in years.

Two of three judges ruled Mike Ward’s comments regarding Gabriel were not justifiable in a society where freedom of expression is valued.

Doublespeak nonsense. They obviously do not value freedom of expression.

And will now join us and GB in the fight against insanity and alien invasion ....

We CAN put Satan on the run

2 Chronicles 7:14 King James Version (KJV)

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

[Texas Eagle]

Not only was it tasteless, it was funny-less.

Still not right that he was fined for telling it. But, hey, that's Canadia's business.

In 2005, Gabriel sang to Pope Benedict and Celine Dion to flesh out his dream of becoming an international singer.

This makes the kid a public figure, But of course, Canada wouldn’t care about that.

I didn’t know making fun of a disfigured kid whose dream was to sing in front of the Pope was humor.

I’m not saying he should have been fined but he does sound like a piece of s***

[dfwgator]

Remember when comedians were actually funny?

Canada hasn’t had a sense of humor in years.

With all of their hockey hullaballoo, and that bitch Anne Murray, too!

R.A. Lafferty wrote, “There is a secret society of only four persons that manufactures all the jokes of the world. One of these persons is unfunny and he is responsible for all the unfunny jokes.”

[Texas Eagle]

Probably the only humorous thing a Canadian has ever come up with is Burton Cummings doing an impression of Gordon Lightfoot singing Rod Stewart's "Maggie May"

[Robert DeLong]

This is Jeremy Gabriel

I might add he is also deaf due to his condition.

[kallisti]

Haven’t seen that name in decades.

[Texas Eagle]

Vaguely. Anymore I consider it a victory when I remember why I went into the kitchen.

[billorites]

That’s very funny.

[dfwgator]

A pox on all their houses: The “so-called” Comedian, and the Canadian government.

[eyeamok]

YES!! I knew CrapGame.

[Hardastarboard]

I am firmly convinced that somewhere, in one of the possible millions of alternate universes, there is a funny version of Stephen Colbert. I mean, it’s at least possible right? Right?

Canada’s Human Rights Commissions have obviously been kangaroo courts since Mark Steyn’s troubles with them. And I say that from an American perspective, and we generally pay very little attention to Canadian politics. That we even know about this shows how notorious these courts are.
