I mean, sure, it’s not as population dense as the USA, or Mexico, but Canada is huge, your people are nice, you have some of the best entertainment companies on the planet (namely Cirque du Soleil and Pornhub), your natural resources and attractions are unbelievable and your actors are the best (especially the BSG/Chronicles of Riddick cast).
And yet, as an Italian with an international perspective (lived abroad for the last 16 years and visited the USA and South America repeatedly), I have been not “Canada-aware” for most of my life.
I get it that you are not boasting like your neighbors (and that alone makes you better than them imho), but how come that I was left to realize only today that the Manitoba flour I used to make pizza all my life takes its name from one of your provinces, while I know about all the shitty pizzas the US made up in a century.
Same thing goes for Latin American countries, even the ones I never visited, like Mexico or Argentina.
I shall visit soon and I hope you can take the chance to teach me more in the meanwhile.
Pornhub, like poutine, is Québécois!
(Though I’m not sure why we’d be proud of that…)
why not be proud of that? sex is great… don’t be ashamed of it just because it’s sex
It was okay up until they allowed videos of non-consensual sex, child porn, and truly ‘hidden camera’ video where the other person had no idea their privacy was being violated.
okay that’s very fair
Pornhub is a technical achievement, it has versions for visually impaired and acoustically impaired users, a section dedicated to data analysis and one to sexual education.
YouTube has often copied their advancement in the UX design, like the most replayed graph on the timeline.
They also enacted the Great Digital Purge which has been a first in history, and which scared other platforms as an example of the kind of responsibility that platforms would be asked to take for the content published.
