Canada is fucking doomed.i went to Toronto one year, I looked around, and I said what the f***. Am I in Canada, or fucking India?

[alnilam66]

This is why neal moved to the US. Quasisocialist Canadian government.

[fasteddie4145]

@alnilam66 you can subtract quasi.....

[MrDcseltzer]

I would love to see Neil work in our US Government. We could use some clear level headed thinking.

[yakridersky]

Msr. Chrétien didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be interviewed (and pwnd) by this very smart, connected and articulate man (who just happens to be a drummer in a major rock and roll band). Chretien's worried expression is priceless. Neal didn't allow for any bullshit.

Wait a minute: How about Neal Peart for Prime Minister next time around?

[snapascrew]

wow even back in the fucking 90's people couldn't pronounce the fucker's name right. PEART PEOPLE PEART NOT PURT.

[DrunkCoven1]

What a Class act and the Best Drummer Ever.

[meccaturbo]

@DrunkCoven1 Your opinion, you moronic fuck.

[MrAdrianbelew]

@meccaturbo fact.

[gorillabelly1]

"Promises": Will replace GST? LOL! That's right up there with "Will replace Income Tax". Neat to see Peart question a politician about jobs, but it's kind of strange to hear such questions coming out of the mouth of a millionaire. What does he care?

[painemporium]

Neil is scary smart! ;-)

[kfsfkakf]

did he win?

[zeppidy]

@kfsfkakf

Yup. 93 to 03 I think it was....but now the liberal party has lost alot of power

[Tod661]

Tel me Chretien wasn't scared shitless sitting across Neil Pert

[SleepWhenYoureDed]

where is this trademarked rock n roll ingredient on much music today

?

black and yellow black and yellow - not music

[guitardude57]

This was kind of interesting. Neil did a good job. I wonder what he thinks now that not only did Chretien not remove the GST now McGuinty has added the PST as well.

[cyngus2112]

Big money (no pun intended) has a way of changing peoples views. Especially those who make a living doing what they love. Their intention is everybody should have the life they live which is admirable, but not possible. We all have a certain level of "drive". Some people are happy just watching tv. The tv watchers are hard for people who are sucsessful to understand, somebody must be holding them back from a better life. The government should help!?. I give neil a pass, he has a big heart.

[cyngus2112]

Peart was not affiliated, but liked those who stood up for something. People become lazy in there belifs and don't realize that all political parties change. The Republicans were at one time very close to modern day libertarians (Abe Lincoln) & Democrats were always the racists. The term "southern democrat" didn't come from thin air(true till late 50's). Both want big government and to control it. 60's protesters against government intrution now want to expand it when they hold the power.

[cyngus2112]

The individualism in 2112 is right, but the lyrics of allot of songs until moving pictures are abolutely "Libertarian like". Any lyrics that refer to life, liberty in the context he put them in, were in my opinion political. You might have to be in the Party to understand certain "code" words. Like "progressive" means socialist in democrat speak, or constitution means "morality" to a republican. Even in "The Trees" they were all held equal by hatchet axe and saw after they formed a union

[cyngus2112]

Wow, how the mighty have fallen. Neil has went the wrong direction since his Libertarian fused 2112. Everybody needs the government to do thier bidding. Shamefull!

[konakaine]

Why?? What's wrong with what he did here?

[KarmicAvngr]

Much thanks for posting this. M. Peart is, has been, and will always be a hero of mine.

[MrDAVIDEO84]

" WOW ! THE CANADIANS ARE SO PROGRESSIVE ! "

CONGRATULATIONS SIR NEIL PEART !

[bearmare]

As much a there are people who think that Neil should have switched places with Chretien -- let's be honest here -- would trusted Neil if he was a politician? But I did like it when Neil said that he read the Liberal "Red Book", while it looked as though Chretien was thinking "What Red Book?" Replace the GST? Ha! And where's all the coloured ribbons that Chretien wears to show that he actually cares about all those causes?

[27dedrummer]

haha chretien got raped

[AudiophileTubes]

WOW! More rare unseen videos for die hard RUSH fans! 'YouTube' is amazing!

[thebelly2010]
