Nardwuar the Human Serviette appointed to Order of Canada

I will always remember these two defining encounters: vs. Gorbachev vs. Chretien

This irrelevant dickhead gets the OC when countless Veterans have actually sacrificed something other than their dignity? Nardwuar is a comical representation of a music “journalist”, seldom taken seriously and if I might be so bold as to suggest completely unworthy.

I would respectfully disagree. Nardwuar is a cultural icon that delves deep into any of his interviews with artists. He generally asks questions that no other interviewer would. Most musicians I’ve seen, feel that it’s a point of success to have a conversation with this person. He is truly uniquely Canadian. The OC is not just for deserving Veterans but for people that enrich our country. He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but for many he is a national treasure. “ Keep on rocking in the free world and DOOT DOOLA DOOT DOO…”

Will never forget Nardwuar's interviews with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. Fucking hilarious.

Each year, the bar becomes lower and lower. It's like they have nobody worthy to choose. What's worse are people defending these appointments.

We’re all entitled to our opinions. As I said before, I respectfully disagree. No need to say that you think less of people that don’t have your same viewpoint. Have a wonderful day.

Canada doesn't have much anymore in the way of "Canadian culture". Nardwuar is one of the very few to have actually contributed to what little cultural fabric we have. I usually scoff at any awards because usually it's nothing more than a political circle jerk so a bunch of big whigs can fellate each other over how great they think they are, but Nardwuar actually did something to deserve it.

The Order of Canada is about as meaningful as land acknowledgements.

I worked in higher education unfortunately for a brief period and everyone would keep one-upping each other with land acknowledgements. They would be sure to name as many first nations bands as they could, with proper pronunciation, and would side eye anyone who had a weaker, less polished land acknowledgment. One would even bring a first nations friend along with a drum to accompany the land acknowledgment with a welcome song. It's the ultimate way to virtue signal. Interestingly enough, their opinions on the Cowichan lands decision seem to differ from what they say in their land acknowledgment...

Just for having the balls to stand up to any prominently recognized figure and spew forgettable whatever.

Hopefully the apologists also sold their home dwellings in solidarity as well.
