    Japanese Lolita fashion is pretty distanced from from Nabokov’s original conception. If this person is just dressing in that fashion, and put the sign in reference to that, I could almost understand it, and concede there might not have been anything predatory in nature intended.

  • Every tenth episode you have to watch Letterkenny.

    But honestly, it says in the article:

    Earlier Friday, Canadian media company Corus urged the CRTC to require traditional broadcasters and online players to pay the same amount into the Canadian content system. The broadcaster, which owns Global TV, said both should contribute 20 per cent of their revenue toward Canadian content.

    Currently, large English-language broadcasters must contribute 30 per cent of revenues to Canadian programming, and the CRTC last year ordered streaming services to pay five per cent of their annual Canadian revenues to a fund devoted to producing Canadian content.

    The foreign streaming services are fighting that rule in court and Netflix, Paramount and Apple pulled out of the CRTC hearing earlier this week.
