Rap isn't the problem... Rap fans are the problem!

I like Dan McTeague. He gets things done and at least appears to understand that he works for the people of Pickering-Scarborgough East. But sometimes he just doesn't get it. His most recent idea is to ban rapper 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) from appearing in Canada. This is from his recent letter to Immigration Minister Joe Volpe:

I don't think people in Toronto or any urban area need or want to hear Mr. Jackson's message right now (Emphasis mine)

Memo to Dan McTeague, if people didn't want to hear Mr. Jackson's message we wouldn't be having this conversation.

When government officials start deciding what people want, that's when they become dangerous.
