Justin Bieber and the Bullies













I watched the Juno awards last night and I thought it was a fabulous show. 

I loved the street party in St John's, and although my favourite band Billy Talent didn't win best single, and Michael Buble is a just a little too mellow for me, I thought he was a classy winner.

“I love you from the west coast to the east, black, white, rich, poor, gay, straight, thanks for the support.”

And although I have to admit that I would probably like Justin Bieber more a lot...if I was fourteen... I think he's a talented and very together Canadian kid.

And nobody deserves this.

It's so disgusting and cowardly it almost makes me vomit. It takes a lizard's brain to be homophobic and misogynistic at the same time. 

But that's why I hate bullies eh? That's why I write about them all the time even though almost nobody cares.  

And that's why I love K'naan, the Somali Canadian artist who closed the show last night with a version of this song of peace, love, diversity, and RESPECT.

Because when I listen to it I believe we can change the world...



Here's to those Canadian artists who even in the dark days of the bully Harper regime are giving us something to be proud about.

Justin don't listen to the bullies.

Here's to that better world...
