Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Ed T Date: 28 Nov 12 - 11:54 AM ""Are we going to have a whole string of threads stating the bloody obvious about the nationality of famous persons? :) "" Why not, IMO, it is less annoying than some of the crap people constantly debate (aka, endlessly) like religion, Israel-Palestine conflicts,USA politics, and the follies of British Prime Ministers and USA Presidents, yada-yada) "If you don't happen to like it, pass it by" :) |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Musket Date: 28 Nov 12 - 03:48 AM I thought I'd do a list of British people worth knowing, but a link to the electoral register is just laziness on my part. I'll get me etc |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Bob the Postman Date: 27 Nov 12 - 09:45 PM In my mind there's a wierd connection between Gordon Lightfoot and Justin Bieber—neither of them is Aboriginal. When I first heard Lightfoot's name (circa 1965) I, like many others, assumed that with a name like that he had to be First Nations. Turns out no, of course. I first heard of Justin on the Gian Ghomesshi show a few years back when Elvira Kurt was talking him up as a lesbian cult hero, a status he enjoyed because he looked so darn tomboy cute. Only I heard his name wrong and I thought, "Justin Beaver, eh? That's so cool, an Indian kid from Ontario hitting the big time." |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:34 PM That pic was JB with Harper's hair. The kid does good work by helping others, and that young fellow who got the Toronto shirt will remember that for a long time. OK, so I prefer JB. |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: gnu Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:33 PM Spaw... ya wanna talk hair? We gotta a guy up here with "hair". And he truly deserves a LOTTA hits... in the arse. He was born in Ontario too. Hmmmmm |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:31 PM I could name many more but a teen heart-throb from the past that set the girls screaming was Bobby Curtola. My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with him years later in Las Vegas. I found him to be friendly and gratious and he sang Fortune Teller for my wife on our annivesary. On his break he joined us at our table and it is a treasured memory! Denny Doherty is another great one that comes to mind! |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:22 PM All those folks are great with me Jack as was the other list, except for maybe Lombardo but even he was a fine boat racer. So if you don't mind (LOL....or even if you do) I'll be crappin' on the Bieber Boy just for the hell of it. Also I think he looks like a dick......not even a hard-on.......just a dick with goofy hair.............. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Jack the Sailor Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:15 PM Oh yeah! In other fields, Jim Carey, Dan Ackroyd, Matthew Perry, Eugene Levy, Leslie Neilson, Catherine O'Hara, Chief Dan George, Gordon Pinsent, Robert Joy and Cirque de Puree |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Ed T Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:05 PM Brian Adams, Avril Lavigne and Sarah McLachlan (a Nova Scotian) are also Canadian jewels. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: gnu Date: 27 Nov 12 - 04:00 PM I have never heard him sing. Didn't know he wrote music or puked on stage. Seems like a cool guy for such a pup. Oh, as far as $ being success, Jim Carrie just might be considered a success as well. >;-) As for Shania... ooo me knees is weak. And even moreso for Terri Clark. I can seriously say I don't really dislike any Canuck actors or singers or... well, Celine Dionne does grate on me nerves. |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 27 Nov 12 - 03:40 PM In defense of Bieber he is a good hockey player. I don't care for any of the modern music including his, but check this video out and it may make some folks prouder to claim him. A look at the deeper Bieber |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 03:37 PM What's to crap on. The kid gets millions of hits on Youtube and he's making a fortune. Good for him. |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Jack the Sailor Date: 27 Nov 12 - 03:28 PM The Canadian Music industry has long been very good at giving America what it wants. From Guy Lombardo, Paul Anka, The Guess Who, Rush, BTO, Alanis Morrisette, Shania, Celene, Sarah, Byan Adams, BNL, Buble and others mentioned here and even more not mentioned, there is usually a Canadian or three near the top of the US charts. As a Canadian I have never felt any specific obligation to prefer them, like them or even listen to them. As an ambassador of Canada and Canadian music, Canada could do worse than a clean cut kid who can sing, write and dance. You don't have to like Beiber, you don't have to crap on him either. |

From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 03:23 PM Harper's Hair Stephen Harper wears his hair With pride and vanity He pays for that with money grabbed From folks like you and me His head is clad with plastic strands Which daily are re-raked To hid the fact his policies are Pretty much half-baked The End |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 12:55 PM "Buffy Sainte-Marie (who was born in Alberta but has dual American-Canadian citizenship)" Close, LH.

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Nov 12 - 12:36 PM It doesn't end there! We also have Joni Mitchell, Ian & Sylvia Tyson, Leonard Cohen, most of the members of The Band, the Guess Who, Gordon Lightfoot, Buffy Sainte-Marie (who was born in Alberta but has dual American-Canadian citizenship), Paul Anka (shudder!), Celine Dionne, Shania Twain, Rush, Alanis Morrisette, and many more... See this list: http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_artists-canadian.html Further to that, we have Lynn Miles, an Ottawa area folksinger who is not all that famous, but I think she's the finest songwriter (and one of the very finest singers) in Canada...or anywhere. Look her up on Youtube and see. Lynn was Alanis' vocal coach, by the way, when Alanis was a teenager. |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Musket Date: 27 Nov 12 - 12:19 PM OK, having heard people on the telly mention Justin Bieber, I had been curious to see who he is. My curiosity went up a notch when I saw this thread, for no other reason than I had been going to find out. So I did. Thanks 999, I may now have credibility when speaking to my niece's children. (And there was me thinking Canada began and ended with Neil Young, Randy Bachmann and The Clumsy Lovers......) |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: GUEST,Blind DRunk in Blind River Date: 27 Nov 12 - 12:15 PM I flippin' agree! It is ALL Harper's fault!!! That fliphead is responsible for every flippin' thing that goes wrong in this cuntry, includin' the fact that I ain't been laid in....well...a fair while now...and I can't get no good dope arownd here neether unlest I grow it myself! I may be, like, just a pond on the flippin' chessbored of life in Canada, but even I know a plane and obvius fact when it is stairin' me right in the flippin' face! HARPER HAS GOT TO, LIKE, GO!!!!!!!!! And soon, eh? - Shane |

Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 12:03 PM I'd blame Stephen Harper, Bruce, he's bringing Canada into line with the rest of the planet, so he probably ordered The Bieber Boy to be promoted by his Merry Band of Canadian 'Dumb 'Em ALL Down' Corporate Bastards.. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: GUEST,999 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 11:58 AM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. There's downright mean and then there's cruel and unusual. And don't you even consider sending Shatner back. Even friendship has limits. I just looked at 20 seconds of one of JB's Youtube videos. He has received 87 MILLION hits on it. Jaysus, who knew? Shania had a paltry 33 million on 'From This Moment', which is imo a good song. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Nov 12 - 11:57 AM I was talking to Jim last week, Spaw. Jim Carrey, that is, not James Kirk. (I haven't been in touch with Shatner since late last August.) Anyway, Jim Carrey said he's been a bit letdown lately by your low performance output too. "He peaked back around 1992, and it's been downhill ever since," were his exact words. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: catspaw49 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 10:45 AM Bruce......Listen, we have been friends for quite awhile and I hate seeing you in such distress. How about we give you back Jim Carrey? Go ahead....take him......it will be okay, I promise............... Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Becca72 Date: 27 Nov 12 - 09:55 AM The reason Bieber's YouTube vid has so many hits is because it's being viewed by 12 year old girls and they watch it over and over and over and over and over... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Justin Bieber is Canadian. From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Nov 12 - 09:12 AM It's a lie! Bieber is not Canadian! In order to be Canadian, one must be born in Canada. Being expectorated doesn't count! Phlegm has no nationality! |
