WARNING!!! THIS IS A POLITICALY MOTIVATED POST
IT TAKES A POLITICAL SIDE AND IS IN NO WAY ABOUT MY STORIES.
PLEASE IGNORE IF IT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO READ/HEAR!
Look i know im not American. But this cancelation does represent a genuine threat to free media. Even if it is a comedy show, it -and those like it- are my preferred method of absorbing frankly horrible news. And i am certain this remains true for many many people.
For those of you who arent aware: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled because it was a "financial burden" apparently losing 50million dollars. Even though it was/is the NUMBER 1. Show on that network. It is believed that this is a direct result of paramount kissing ass and s**king orange cheeto d**k.
I understand that this is not a Canadian show, but it is important to keep it. Especially considering how much Trump is repressing free speech. Furthermore, I would like to say to my fellow Albertans this is a threat to us. I think its pretty obvious by now that the UCP are following the republican conservative model demonstrated by the current USA administration.
I think it is important we show solidarity, even if it does not necessarily impact us directly. If the fightback is strong enough, it may prove a victory over Trump's silencing of free speech, which makes all of us safer.
To the late show and all its amazing staff my apologies, my respects, and to you my optimism that this dark time may see some light. The light in your brand of comedy and commitment to the American people, because they need and deserve it.
To my followers who read this post and dont hate me for it. Please find a petition to keep The Late Show. This will help protect not only it but other Late night talk shows.
That is all, my apologies for stretching politics into my announcements.
