As a promoter of smaller indie and unsigned bands throughout the years this additional fee is just one more burden to those bands interested in playing in Canada, a country so vast that it is difficult enough as it is to make a canadian tour economically viable.
If you are a Canadian music fan please sign the petition. Once again the government is taxing those least likely to be able to afford it.
Thanks.

That "eh" thing is so played out. I don't think I've ever said that in my life. Well, maybe once or twice.
Not to be divisive but I think this is more of an eastern/central Canada thing than Western.
I don't know anybody in Western Canada. So you may be right there. All my relatives are in Ontario and Newfoundland. The accent and amount of "eh"'s I get seem to get thicker the further East I go. As soon as I get to Newfoundland it's like that old joke about the Canadian alphabet: A=Eh, B=Eh, ...
The 'teens' here overuse the word "Like" so I think there's more in common with California-speak on the West Coast.
Still, we maintain that Canadian sensibility.
With a little Detroit sensibility thrown in...

The fees will probably be used to help finance their publically funded Health Care System. This mindless type of taxation could occur in the U.S. if the AHA is not repealed.

If anyone does not try to find the root cause of these fees then what is the point of this topic in the first place? I only responded to the thread originator.

But you didn't enquire about it in that manner. You went to 'obamacare' and this thread has got nothing at all to do with health care in Canada or the US.
You went there just because.

I don't think your comments were hurtful or offensive . . . just illustrative of the prevailing mentality these days: blame Obama for everything, even things that haven't happened yet; find a way to blame Obama in a conversation about an issue in another country.

This might be the funniest post of all time. "Blame OBama for everything!!!"" ha ha. The media's messiah? You mean "Blame Bush", correct?
