Worry in border towns 1 year into B.C. residents avoiding trips to Washington state | CBC News

The best part about all these articles is that the Americans talk about how much they love Canadians. When it comes down to it though, they just love the dollars. There is nothing else they refer to loving about them in the articles from what I've seen.

My favorite part:

Border town officials say there's a range of reasons why Canadians aren't heading south anymore — from the weak exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar, to the lack of consumer carbon tax making gas a little bit cheaper up north.

No mention of the threat of arrest, disappearance, being shot, etc.

The real ancient trials were on the 1990s warez sites where you'd have to hunt for a 2 pixel square link on a giant page of porn ads and other trickery. Then you could get part 42 of 78 of a .rar for some game. Repeat another 77 times and wait a week for it to download on 33.6k and you got a free game!

They sing a lot about workers rights and unions, maybe you are joking. "Boys on the Docks" is almost what you're after, but not saying directly to join a union.

Ken: It’s brand new. It’s about my grandfather, John Kelley. He organized most of the union workers down on the fish pier.

Also, their song "Which Side Are You On" starts with the lyrics:

Our father was a union man, Some day I'll be one too.

I'll often find something interesting and look through the collections of other people who also have the album. Another way is to just start in the genre sections and browse.

Here are a few varied suggestions, no specific genre since I don't know your tastes:
