Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol.
Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta
WTF, I always thought Dr. Oetker was just another brand of some American multinational. It's apparently German.
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.
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.
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.
spoiler
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. I don't know if it still works but it was pretty fun back in the day.
Ah thanks, not one for podcasts but good to be aware of!
Just did my part 🚫🎞️🇨🇦
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.
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"
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!
