Language matters.

The President is empowered by a Congress controlled by a narrow majority. Rather than the individual they have chosen, I am pissed at the Republican party. And disappointed in the American people. The guy? He was always that way and would have continued to be so at a safe distance from the levers of power without his enablers.

It is the American and especially Republican relationship with Canada that is important in this situation. Those are what endure, that person is only momentarily significant. So, where we can choose the narrative, I think that’s important to focus on.

Plus I suspect he likes the sound of his own name.

    just make content ludicrously expensive and force people to pirate it, then don’t follow up on people doing so

    that’ll make some very powerful interest groups that basically only exist in the US absolutely frothy with rage

      Dude America is the biggest exporter of culture in the world.

      The biggest Canadian cultural influences made their mark in American media. Jim Carey. Ryan Gosling. Ryan Reynolds. Robin Williams. Raffi. Tommy Chong. The Rock. Seth Rogan. Will Arnett. William Shatner. Eugene Levy. Mike Myers. Rick Morannis.

      To name a few.

      (Also are there any famous Canadian Actresses?)

        That just makes their “culture” industry all the more a viable target. I’m sure everyone you’ve listed will be fine.

        As a Franco Canadian it’s always funny to see Anglo Canadians realize that their culture is the US culture + The Tragically Hip while we punch above our weight in that domain.
