@scorpion_hank @Harry__Faulkner @martianwyrdlord We wouldn't need these rules to force people to watch Canadian content if Canadian content wasn't f****** dogshit.
A nation of soulless conformist assholes don't produce very good media.

In the 1980's, Canadian broadcaster Global found a loophole in Canadian broadcasting legislation.
Instead of broadcasting test patterns on screen and losing out on overnight revenue, they could send a cameraman into the city to walk around and film the streets of Toronto.
Global producers decided to create their own original music to accompany the show instead of losing out on licensing fees.
Because the show was entirely "Canadian Content", this allowed Global to leave key primetime slots open to broadcast American content.
The show was called Night Walk.
Although Night Walk was created to exploit a loophole, the footage that was left behind now looks like a time capsule.

@BeegJj AI (didn't check accuracy) stated they issued 12,100,000 share options to employees in 2024 - buy backs would be more useful if it was side by side with number of shares issued through employee options and other means.
Isn't that the important normalizing factor here of no?

@Saw_Walker @acoyne lol @acoyne had been remarkably consistent and clear on his rational on why he doesn't support high speed rail
You don't need to agree with him but any one "confused" hasn't actually read what he wrote, or isn't being "genuine" & trolling
English
I think their advice would be: Cram 120 million people into an area slightly smaller than Newfoundland. Put 93 per cent of them in cities. Even in the Quebec-Windsor corridor, population density is a fraction of Japan's; the economics of high-speed rail are accordingly a little different.
Mark Marissen@marissenmark
I just came back from a trip to Japan. The Japanese could figure out how to provide their citizens high speed rail. There’s no reason why we can’t. Don’t let Pierre Poilievre deny Canadians high speed rail. If we need help and advice from the Japanese, let’s get it.

@acoyne @jkenney I love how you wear your heart on your sleeve - youre a straight shooter
The policies of the Lewis NDP may be bad policies; they may be losing policies; but they are authentically their policies, things they actually believe in. You’d be surprised how much that matters to people

@RoyalFamily @NASA The Brit's are not Canada's friends. They have shown in the face of American aggression their government throws Canada under the bus. Forget them and forget the crown
English
Marking the launch of @NASA's Artemis II mission to the moon, The King has written to mission specialist, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen - the first Canadian to travel on a moon mission - commending his leadership and vision.
The first rocket to go around the moon in more than 50 years, Artemis II will be NASA’s first mission with crew aboard the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft.
As global space activity, exploration, and the space economy rapidly expand, His Majesty recognises the importance of stewardship and responsible governance to protect the infinite wonders of the universe.

it's a consistent failing of the royal comms people, but this should obviously use the Royal Arms in Right of Canada in the statement…

@CraigYHalifax @stphnmaher I feel like you don't understand economics.
English
@stphnmaher Maybe mercosur can take the 1.3% in 🇨🇦 exports with 🇧🇷 to 2%. Maybe even 2.5% in ten or twenty years.
Holy smokes indeed!

NEW: Global News has learned the RCMP executed search warrants at the homes of former Calgary mayor Jyoti Gondek, and current Ward 10 Coun. Andre Chabot last week seizing cell phones. globalnews.ca/news/11743669/…

@NuggetCapital lol what?
Stop the hate farming. Trudeau was not corrupt. He was provably the most incompetent PM in living memory, but that's not the same as corrupt.
To put him in the same conversation as Trump is disgusting and minimizes the corruption that is the Trump admin.

@SteveBottoms @GlobalCalgary You are so close but so far from the towns point. They don't want you to buy recreational property in their town

The levy is aimed at owners who leave their homes empty for more than half the year as part of Canmore's bid to encourage full-time occupancy and address its housing shortage.

@spandrab @DiscussingFilm Look. I know you're desperate for rage's bait engagement to justify paying for a free website so I will help you out and reply.
Josh appears to be an intolerable toxic hack. His tv troupes are overdone and frankly boring.
English
@DiscussingFilm No whedon no watch.
Joss Whedon helmed some of my favorite all time shows and every spinoff or variation without him has failed miserably. As much as I love Nathan and Alan, I have no faith a project that Whedon led would come out nearly as polished in another’s hands.

@judyatrinh I see you joined the same BS of making us think they arrived on that plane! No way does that have the catering levels they’re used to. Shame on our media for playing along. Disgraceful.

@AlexDeLarge_110 @CANZUK @RafHM A)the PM of Britain has continuously been hostile to Canada favouring his relationship with USA
B)a meaningless & powerless monarch speaking to parliament in a fluff speech isn't support. Please quote exactly what he said that helpful to Canada in the trade war with the states

@BeCurious_5 @CANZUK @RafHM Why do you think the king went to Canada and made that speech think about it?

@tdhkz @MaoistStdEn @grok lol.
I knew this was coming.
1st) it's not as bad as it's contemporaries. And you know what, grok FWIW agrees
But that's not enough. Now you're justifying it by today's standards.
Fucken gross man
English
@BeCurious_5 @MaoistStdEn @grok I'm not even from NZ; I'm English. It's just that not all internment camps were the same. Considering that even many Western prisoners nowadays don't receive adequate food, care, or education, what Enda Pearce did was not immoral; it was seen as necessary during the World Wars.
English
Happy International Womens Day, never forget this classic from New Zealand Police
English
@MaoistStdEn I think you could be confusing NZ internment prisons with American ones. As far as I know, nothing was wrong with NZ camps apart from what typically happens with civilian internment (jstor.org/stable/40346688). Civilian internment was very normal in WW2 and happened in most places.
