This is not a joke! Just how far is the system of "Politically Correct" going to be allowed to go? A "Commission" manned by people with No legal training, has just convicted and fined a comedian for "not telling funny jokes" and has placed a life-time ban on what he can and can't say in his performances. The bar where he was doing an "open mic" performance (four years ago) was also fined for not "censoring" him.
Shame on British Columbia, and Shame on Canada for allowing this creeping stupidity to take over the Freedom of Speech that people have fought for over tens of years.
This clip not only gives the names and the details for the decision, but points out what is going on in Canada right now. Please listen very carefully. And, beware, if you get caught telling Ukrainian jokes--or jokes against any nationality or religion (except us Jews maybe) you are in danger of being sued or worse.
Note that this did not take place in the Center for Performing Arts, but in a bar, at the end of the night. When you go to a bar, where people (including yourself) are drinking and there is a live show--and you heckle the performers--you can pretty much be sure they will heckle back.
In the end, this issue is not about whether or not the jokes were funny--in fact I have never heard of this guy and from the sounds of it he is not a "household name". This issue is about Freedom of Speech.

Please watch both parts and Listen Carefully! The implications of what is going on here are very alarming.
