The only thing holding us back at this point are our shitty internet companies lol.
Fuck you Telus!
regardless, this would be a good time for countries to strengthen laws protecting against foreign ownership of media companies and heavily regulating foreign media companies operating in countries instead of opening up the floodgates and letting american companies control the culture.
Eco-Max makes good dish soap and other products like that here in Canada…free shipping in Canada and you can get it at Walmart:
Did you mean to comment this somewhere else? Or am I just not getting something?
I too am confused by this streaming to cleaning connection.
really? I thought the canadian connection was the relevant part (shop and promote companies in your area), but the walmart drop kinda confuses me lol.
Made sense to me. Canadians dropping American goods in favor of Canadian made ones.
oh, that would make sense 😅
we truly are a reddit replacement. The spam bots have started here now
too many ships in this image.
Cancelled my Netflix and prime and subbed to CBC gem.
One big problem with our country is that our own identity and culture has been eroded by American pop culture. It’s honestly good to get away from American media and focus on Canadian made content otherwise we our identity and culture just blends into American culture and I hate that.
It’s tragic too when there is so much Canadian media that gets overshadowed as a result. I’ve been picking up Orphan Black again which is a fantastic series, but too many Americans have never heard of it.
hello fellow clonecluber <3
Hell yeah! On my previous watch, I only got through almost 2 seasons, hopefully I will finish this time. I’ve forgotten a lot, so it’s kind of nice not knowing what to expect again.

I was looking up the show on TV Tropes, and I completely forgot about Helena’s crazy cult arc, for example…
I remember being obsessed with this podcast, too, if you’re interested (I believe it started with the third season)

They only had a Twitter and FB, so there’s not really a website to link to.
Ah thanks, not one for podcasts but good to be aware of!
My wife loved orphan black! I didn’t know it was Canadian. We both loved Kim’s convenience. And Kenny vs Spenny is an all time great.
Kim’s Convenience was an awesome show, until that last season… but yeah, definitely worth emphasizing Canadian gems like these.
Just a reminder to use your local library, they’ll often have plenty of movies and TV shows to rent either at a very low price or fully free. Perfect complement for the seven seas
Local library here has streaming services with lots of classic movies (watched some Akira Kurosawa flicks). And other streaming services thru there have educational kids’ stuff. Also, free museum passes. Telescopes. Musical instruments. Video games. Online newspapers and magazines. Pretty badass.
Local libraries rock.
some libraries even have a small streaming service, so you don’t have to leave the house
Canadians were some of the OG tv pirates. They were the hookup for hacked satellite boxes in the 90’s.
I tried searching for this but only found recent news. Anywhere I can read about this? Wikipedia, article, or book?
I love tech history.
There’s a little bit in this Wikipedia article but I can’t find much either.
IIRC it mostly stemmed from a lot of US tv channels not being available in Canada at the time. So to make them available, they started hacking satellite descramblers and Direct TV cards. Then they found a giant market in the US willing to buy these boxes and cards to get free tv.
There were people in the US making them too, but the Canadian stuff was more reliable and updated quicker when Direct TV changed codes.
This is great! Thank you.
It’s why most of the shows I watched as a kid had the maple leaf in the corner.
We had a big ass satillite dish in the backyard when I was growing up, and I remember my dad needing to input these codes every so often to unlock a bunch of channels.
Argh, eh!
the quality and selection are better on certain websites with weird little cartoon character avatars
the CBC celebrates
Thanks for the reminder. Just cancelled
Netflix is really shit as a subscription anyway, it’s gone downhill with the amount of ‘tiers’ and constant slop production that encourages cancelled 1-season shows over longer, fan-driven works.
Hey Canada, just so you know: I’m an European, and I watch “Son of a Critch” and “Shoresy”
“Set the tone!”
Ukraine had to start banning Russia funded slop after the invasion…
Maybe doing it before the invasion would have been better.
