Every once in a while, one has to remember the unfortunate fact that Canadians exist.
He's literally doing air guitar to let the deaf folks know ... the guitarist is playing guitar.
Who is this for, honestly? The woke HR ladies who run the CBC? Why isn't this in both French and American sign language? I'm sure they'll get letters for that!
Take a bow, Canada

It’s not diversity unless it’s translated into Acadian French.

After watching the NDP convention videos yesterday, this is not the least bit surprising. Woe, Canada.

How does the person “playing” the air guitar show a deaf person anything more than watching the person playing the actual guitar? Never mind . . . . .

“notthebee” ... for those increasingly frequent times when reality is weirder than satire.

The air guitar guy looks like Muammar Gaddafi. Maybe he escaped the Libyan civil war after all.

Come, they told me, strum strum-strum strum strum,
An air guitar to see, strum strum-strum strum strum,
I told him not to fret, strum strum-strum strum strum,
No amp nor pedal to get, strum strum-strum strum strum,
Strum-strum strum strum, strum-strum strum strum,
I will silent play, strum strum-strum strum strum,
When I come.

Everything with liberal retards (i.e. democrats) is performance art, everything.
They live in a fantasy world. Nearly ALL of them have some type of mental disorder and need daily therapy.

Literally retards.
That is, the folks on TV and or government that made that decision, not the deaf people that likely look at this lunacy in comedic, depressing, and shocking disgust.

Skip the air guitarist and just watch Lifeson play, they cannot hear, so WTaF?!?! Canada is vying for the position of number 1 idiocracy.
