I might add he is also deaf due to his condition.
Canada hasn’t had a sense of humor in years.
Doublespeak nonsense. They obviously do not value freedom of expression.
Still not right that he was fined for telling it. But, hey, that's Canadia's business.
This makes the kid a public figure, But of course, Canada wouldn’t care about that.
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.”
I might add he is also deaf due to his condition.
A pox on all their houses: The “so-called” Comedian, and the Canadian government.
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.
Same outfit that did this:
Apparently they are above the law there and can order punishment for perceived offenses to proglibs for “wrong-think” and “hate.”
This is another manifestation of “justice” that will be attempted here by the insane progs.

Plot summary
Noel Meyerhof is a “Grand Master”, one of a small cadre of Earth’s recognised geniuses, who has the insight to know what questions to ask Multivac. But a computer scientist is concerned that Meyerhof is acting erratically. As a known joke-teller, he has been discovered feeding jokes and riddles into Multivac.
By computer analysis, the characters in the story investigate the origin of humour, particularly why there seems to be no such thing as an original joke, except for puns. Every normal joke is something that was originally heard from someone else.
The computer eventually tells them that humour is actually a psychological study tool imposed from without by extraterrestrials studying mankind, similarly to how humans study mice. They needed to isolate the responses to their jokes from original ones, so they “programmed” us to react differently to puns.
The characters of the story conjecture that figuring this fact out makes it useless as a tool, so the aliens will turn off humour. And suddenly nothing is ever funny again.
peanuts! 250,000 in NYC if you call an illegal immigrant an illegal immigrant.
Do not joke in Canada. You can beat your wife if you’re Muslim, but if you’re white you’d best keep your mouth shut.
We need two walls.
It doesn’t much matter what a joke is about any more. Humor is offensive to someone and actionable in Canada now and in the USA in the near future.
