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.
Context?
Nice rock you live under.
Trump's been threatening to Anschluss Canada as the 51st state and been planning on tariffs and other fuckery to harm Canada. So a lot of Canadians are cancelling services provided by US-based companies and pirating entertainment instead.
I did know about the 51st state thing but wanted to know more about the boycott. thanks.
Just did my part 🚫🎞️🇨🇦
Hey Canada, just so you know: I'm an European, and I watch "Son of a Critch" and "Shoresy"
"Set the tone!"
ha?!
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.
I cancelled two weeks ago expecting it to be difficult, but I don't really miss it. Maybe something happens when you get old, but I just don't have the will to commit to a series or a binge watch anymore. What I've started doing is borrowing movies at the library, which is free and takes forever, but is oddly charming.
I started cancelling all American subscriptions back in December (all Google services out, Facebook+Instance out, Amazon out...) I'm down to Netflix but currently building out my movie library daily. Plex server is next. Long live Torrents!
the CBC celebrates
too many ships in this image.
So Netflix is also on the MAGA bandwagon?
