I totally understand the boycott and cheer you guys on, but do ya'll not watch/play any American media?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

I only watch US media with Canadian actors. So, I guess most of it.

Nope. I'm listening to canadian music and watching international films these days.

I cut Netflix years ago when they started filling it with self-produced content. We don't watch Disney or Amazon. TPB is fine but there is a lot of other Canadian content that you might not have been exposed to. There's a ton of great Quebec cinema for instance. In fact Denis Villeneuve is one of the top director's in the world atm.

We're going through a backlog of asian movies at the moment. Watched a bunch of Bollywood recently and Tamil cinema. On Hong Kong cinema at the moment. Will be moving on to Korean cinema after that. We don't watch that much so we're set for the moment.

When all of this started it became clear that the US media, owned by billionaires/millionaires, was supressing the Canadian identity (just look at how the attacks against Canada are laughed at on Colbert/Kimmel who are supposed to be on the left). We decided to excise US media for the time being. It wasn't difficult and we're happier tbh

Fuckin' right! Trailer Park Boys!

I pirate them

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Ew.

No.

Considering what consuming American culture has done to Americans, it's probably better not to ingest any of that fucking swill.

[–] sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 minutes ago

Sure. I just make sure I pirate it all now.

Why many Canadians are digging in their heels

Because every level of american government has failed to do it's job of maintaining stability and have instead allowed a handfull of racist, bigoted, psychopaths to start wars, disrupt trade, and directly deal pain and death to their own people.

Is the news so slow that the CBC even needs to ask?
