Hey all you wound-up hearts out there,  
[ ]( # )  
Did you hear? [ We’ve been cancelled ]( [link removed] ). By Canada’s biggest print-magazine retailer.  
[ ]( # )  

Shoppers Drug Mart has “delisted” Adbusters and removed all copies of our mag from its 1,300 stores nationwide. ([ Check out our press release ]( [link removed] ).)  
[ ]( # )  
And for what? An unspecified number of complaints about a couple of photos of cows being slaughtered and a few offending “fucks.” See them for yourself [ here ]( [link removed] ).

“I don’t think Canada’s biggest newsstand distributor should be censoring content,” says Adbusters founder Kalle Lasn. “Canadian magazine readers deserve better.”  
[ ]( # )  
As you know, we accept no advertising or corporate sponsorships. We rely entirely on newsstand sales and subscriptions. So this one was a heavy blow, so say the least.  
[ ]( # )  
We’re calling on you, our supporters, to rebuke the company in the bottom-line language it understands.  
[ ]( # )  
Do one of these two things:  
[ ]( # )   Boycott all Shoppers Drug Mart stores nationwide using the hashtag #BoycottShoppers.  
[ ]( # )   Walk into a Shoppers near you and ask, “Where’d Adbusters go?!” Ask for us to be put back onto its shelves. Enough formal requests and it’ll send a message up to corporate: the Canadian people won’t stand for a corporate speech-police!  
[ ]( # )  
Canada is supposed to be one of the [ best countries for press freedoms ]( [link removed] ). So this is a seriously dark omen. (“[ First they came ]( [link removed] ) for the anarchists . . .”)  
[ ]( # )  
We’re not gonna let this one go lightly — we’re gonna make a stink.  
[ ]( # )  
Let’s put up a fight against corporate censorship. #BoycottShoppers!

[ ]( # ) [ We've Got a Revolution on Our Hands ]( [link removed] )
[ ]( # )  
A sort of energy had been building, an invisible rising heat that needed to meet its historical moment, and a final torch blast to get it to Fahrenheit 451.  
[ ]( # )  
A restless revolutionary energy has been brewing for a century and a half in the shadow of consumer capitalism, and it is soon going to make itself felt.  
[ ]( # )  
It already has — in brief charged bursts of righteous uprising, culture jamming among them.
