Guns or Oranges

May 27, 2008

“Are you bringing any guns or oranges into the country?”

I remember Alex Chilton telling us about this question he was asked by Canadian Customs officers when he crossing the border to come up for a show he gave at some murkily-forgotten club in Kensington Market. He said he thought Guns or Oranges would make a great album title.

In the future, if Stephen Harper and his cronies gets their way, Customs Officers might be asking if you have any iPods or cellphones or laptops you’re bringing into the country along with those guns and oranges you’re gonna hafta hand over…

Check out Michael Geist’s website to learn more. You can also read the leaked ACTA document.
