Just sail the seven seas, yarrr.

That is not what this article is about.

[–] Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's what this article should be about.

Yeah I understand completely, I will not be buying from American companies, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna start accepting price gouging from Canadian capitalists either.

That five finger discount on milk is still being observed.

Buy Canadian! Galen Weston gets harder

Agreed. We produce a lot of our own to avoid the fuckers in our own country looking to screw us into oblivion. We are fortunate to be able to do that.

That's something I like about being Québécois, there's plenty of stuff to watch here!

Damn, I wish there was such an organization to promote Canadian media. Fuck, whatever are we going to do.

Edit: I like to think my joke was a little too crafty. The CBC's mandate is: Be predominantly and distinctively Canadian; Contribute to a shared national consciousness and identity; and more.

Rabble, The Walrus, The Narwhal, The Tyee are all great media.

After watching Yannick Bisson and Hélène Joy film a scene right next to my wife's workplace, we decided to binge Murdoch Mysteries. There are 18 season on CBC Gem! It's going to take awhile.

I've seen a few episodes here and there. It's charming, and doesn't take itself too seriously (or, honestly, very seriously at all).

You might like midsomer murders if that’s your vibe.

It’s British and there’s like 22 seasons.

I have a friend who writes midsomer murders fan fiction but he hasn’t let me actually read it. But the point is it’s good enough to have a fan fiction community.

If anyone likes medical dramas, my wife and I really like Skymed, it's on CBC Gem. This most recent season (still ongoing) has been a lot of fun, the producers and/or writers have clearly been given the freedom to experiment with the format.

Easy! Just watch Lexx.

Use your local libraries!

Even if you watch American media you’re still cutting out the streaming service.

Hmm. For movies taking out DVDs would make sense, I guess.
