I cut Netflix years ago when they started filling it with self-produced content. We don’t watch Disney or Amazon. TPB is fine but there is a lot of other Canadian content that you might not have been exposed to. There’s a ton of great Quebec cinema for instance. In fact Denis Villeneuve is one of the top director’s in the world atm.

We’re going through a backlog of asian movies at the moment. Watched a bunch of Bollywood recently and Tamil cinema. On Hong Kong cinema at the moment. Will be moving on to Korean cinema after that. We don’t watch that much so we’re set for the moment.

When all of this started it became clear that the US media, owned by billionaires/millionaires, was supressing the Canadian identity (just look at how the attacks against Canada are laughed at on Colbert/Kimmel who are supposed to be on the left). We decided to excise US media for the time being. It wasn’t difficult and we’re happier tbh

Nope. I’m listening to canadian music and watching international films these days.

He hasn’t stopped with his anti-Canada rhetoric since taking office.

Rss feeds to download the mp3. VLC to play them. I like to relisten to some series so building a library makes it easy.

They are dispossessed enough to be swept up by it.

I understand the reluctance. If they had to change platforms every time there was a controversy they’d end up on a platform with no followers left by the end of it. In this case it is merited though.

Fuck Nazis. Fuck Elon Musk.

I agree, we’re facilitating interprovincial trade, we have many allies in a similar position with which we can strike new deals. The US is looking to cause some damage though.

It might be, we don’t know all the details yet (they called it an irritant) but so far all these global tariffs have disproportionally hurt Canada more than other countries. I can see the US smoothing things over with others but keeping this as a point of contention with Canada.

But if it is the last barrier to reaching an agreement, how long will the rest of Canada support Quebec? This is being done to test our confederacy.

Edit: Not supporting Trump, just being realistic about his intentions.

Trump is using this to cause a crisis in Canada. Quebec objects, the ROC 1) may grow impatient with an agreement not being made. 2) IF the ROC rallies behind Quebec, the US will use it forever to justify tariffs.

Dirty tactics.

Google funds Mozilla quite a bit. It would be good to decouple them but that would require a major change to how they are funded.

Had to check that this was actually the Onion.

There also is no middle-man with cash.

I’m not a fan of actions taken in haste but diversifying trading opportunities and providing mutual security really could be beneficial.

“Media” is already a plural. “Medium” (method of conveyance) is the singular.
