They took a big lurch into the centre after Layton died, to the point where Trudeau was able to (successfully) campaign to the left of Mulcair. Obviously they’re not right wing, but they’re centre-left on a good day.

I did that last night for dinner, but with S&B curry powder. Doesn’t taste as good in milk

My experience is limited to white English speaking countries but of the non-Canadian places I’ve spent time in, RTÉ, ABC (or Triple J), and the BBC have been pretty important cultural touchstones. But I’m old and still remember pre-internet days so I think that applies much less these days.

Instantly recognizable. I went to an Internet cafe just under those tracks for a few months when I first moved to town. Probably walked down there every weekend for the couple of years I was there.

I’d say my kids’ cohort are happy to be Canadian but also much more aware of its many failings than I was at their age (late teens early twenties.) Their experiences of Canadian-ness are probably more filtered through parents, rather than picked up from their largely online communities

Seems like old folks are much more invested in symbols, and younger people in ideas. Though I have to say I’m disappointed about that CBC figure.

On the other hand, our “Three by Cameron Crowe” is only two. We’re missing Almost Famous.

No, this is the same argument conservatives make about the CBC being Liberal propaganda. It's wrong in both cases.

Oversight by (well-funded and legislatively empowered) government inspectors would be a good solution. Ideally they would already be public utilities but politically it's much harder to nationalize than to privatize. And given the tax environment we've lived in since the 1980s, tougher to fund.

No thanks, not going to register my political affiliation with the authorities like down in the USA. They’re private organizations, they can have who they like as members and decide to choose a leader in any way they like.

I hate family guy but I do remember laughing at a cutaway gag of him spelling his name. “Robert Loggia. That’s R as in ‘Robert Loggia’, O as in ‘Oh my god it’s Robert Loggia’…” no idea if it was actually him but I think so

Pachinko and Dickinson are fantastic too. They haven’t put out a ton of shows but they’ve got a much better good/bad ratio than Netflix or Amazon imo

Neelix is nobody’s favourite character so this is technically a wrong answer.
a group of people are standing around a pool .
Alt: Neelix dancing, for some reason surrounded by “attractive” (in that Berman Star Trek way) women.

E-readers don’t have lcd screens. Lighting is reflective like a physical book, not transmissive like a screen. Way easier on the eyes
