“I regret losing those sales, but I don’t regret what I did,” Moose Knuckles founder Will Poho said. “I do not want to be stifled by a very small minority.”

The ad shows a made-up paramilitary army called the Fédération unilatérale du Québec (FUQ) — a parody of the separatist group Front de libération du Québec (FLQ).

Zeig Heil to Quebec Nationalist Socialists!

They represent the modern trend to ethnic/racial based utopian fascism, as does the Obama Collective in the USA.

They need to quickly become acquainted with the dust bin of history.

Good Read:

Canadians are funny...

Not in the case of this video, although I'm not sure why it's so offensive (unless someone's offended by half naked young women).

Given the winter weather in Canada, does this picture represent “semi-nude”?

The FUQ manifesto

If you feel having money means you don’t have to play by the rules, FUQ wants you.

If you feel justice, honour, truth and loyalty are in short supply, FUQ wants you.

If you’ve hit rock bottom and are looking for a jackhammer, FUQ wants you.

If you’ll stick a leaf blower into a kiddie pool to make a jacuzzi, FUQ wants you.

If you are sharp of mind and able of body, FUQ wants you.

If you have too much energy and don’t know where to put it, FUQ wants you.

If you ever felt the wrongs of the world needed to be put right, FUQ wants you.

If you want to believe in something but haven’t found what it is yet, FUQ wants you.
