Fed-Up Ottawa Residents Use Pornographic Metal Song About Gay Cowboys To Disrupt Freedom Convoy

Fed-Up Ottawa Residents Use Pornographic Metal Song About Gay Cowboys To Disrupt Freedom Convoy

Counter protesters are turning to "Ram Ranch" by Grant MacDonald

While it seems Canadian law enforcement and political officials are happy to remain locked in the grip of conspiracy theorists, white supremacist and people who don’t understand basic science, the people of Ottawa have had enough. And they are turning to an unusual and powerful weapon: pornographic metal music.

I did not realize that was a genre until today, but I’m thrilled to find out it exists. Counter-protesters are playing “Ram Ranch,” a 2012 porno-metal song by Canadian artist Grant MacDonald, on the truckers various Zello channels (Zello is a walkie-talkie style chat app used by the Freedom Convoy.) From Rolling Stone:

In a recent chat on a Zello channel titled “Windsor Convoy 2,” a group of people supporting the trucker convoy — a Canadian protest against vaccine mandates and lockdowns — started an impromptu singalong for the national anthem, “O! Canada.” “Our home and native land,” one person sang off-key, followed by another, crooning just as poorly, “True patriot love with all our sons command [sic].”

This is where I have to stop. I'm on a work computer, and I don't think I'll be clicking any more of those links.
