        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
