“We certainly did not know this,” Langlois, one of The Hip’s guitarists, replied. “Highly offensive if true and if so, this will be stopped.”recorded at the event and shared on Twitter by Toronto lawyer Caryma Sa’d, The Hip’s 1993 song “Fifty Mission Cap” can be heard in the background. These kinds of comments prompted Langlois to tweet a clarification late Sunday night: "We have always been highly offended by anybody who doesn’t ask for our permission to use our music for a brand, a political party, or a public figure of any sort. It’s just common courtesy to ask, and it applies to anyone and everyone."
