TRIGGERnometry · Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas · 15 Mar 2026 podcast

it is the right time and i don't believe in censoring myself especially on stage sometimes i i make the joke with my audience i'll make a really bad joke i'll be like i'm not posting that one and then you post it and then i post it yeah no no i don't some some i mean some of my my worst stuff is not being posted yet because it's for the audience to come and pay and see you said i believe in free speech i believe in speech for pay

I mean, I'm Canadian, so I'm an immigrant.

and uh i think we need to get rid of these people i don't know what to say it's the same thing in canada canada does not have ice i think the number is now around 400 000 people waiting for deportation we've had or more maybe there's millions but officially i think there's four or five hundred thousand in canada there's no ice there's no deporting those people they are they just get a notice and they're supposed to self-deport and that's not good for the country

to just have a bunch of illegal... I mean, right now, in Canada, there's IRGC members and stuff in the country.

And, you know, during this... Like, Canada's becoming a safe haven for, you know, IRGC members.

I mean, is that a good thing?

I don't think so.

So I think that... I believe in a safe... I want to have a safe, healthy, beautiful country, whether it's Canada, America, wherever I'm living...

I want it to be beautiful and amazing.

And the people who are pro or anti-ICE are also in favor of letting people out of jail for committing serious crimes and giving money to illegal immigrants.

I just don't know how I can be in favor of that stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah, I made a joke about it right when it happened, and...

And the people who are upset, of course they're going to be upset.

But they canceled a bunch of your shows, right?

Is that what happened?

No.

I think that, I mean, a lot of, this is interesting.

A lot of people are like, are your shows all getting canceled?

No, not at all.
