This is truly some white-woman shit. Complete and utter ignorance of the region and its racial and musical history. Like you can just replicate Fisk University, the Opry, Music Row, and the proximity to the cities along the Mississippi, from St. Louis to Memphis to New Orleans.

Screen cap of Danielle Smith ignorantly stating that Calgary can become a musical hub like Nashville.

Overheard on the 54 Chabanel bus: “I went to Toronto bro, it’s TURNT over there. People love going out. Here, nobody goes out anymore. Everybody stays in. You go on St-Laurent and it’s dead, bro, except for all the weird ghetto people partying and shit.”

This. Is. A. Public. Health. Emergency. People will lose money they don't have. They will drink, they will medicate the terror away. They will hit those they love. They will steal when opportunities present themselves. Because desperation does that. We will have SO MANY CRISES from this.
