I started it before all the Trump stuff and was using it for stuff that couldn’t be found on streaming services, but since Trump decided to threaten Canada those are all cancelled and it’s a full-on pirate’s life for me.
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
I totally understand the boycott and cheer you guys on, but do ya’ll not watch/play any American media?
I steal my US media, I have ad blockers blocking ads.
Nice
Pi-hole all the way.
Yup, and I set up a Jellyfin server.

The annexation threats really turned my sea-sailing habit into a spiteful obsession.
Only for free. Pirating that shit for over two decades now. Fuck em.
Everything else is a no go. Even food. If it’s not from somewhere other than murica we don’t need it. Period.
Sometimes, though I have been prioritizing CBC originals lately I’m still finishing Handmaids Tale
Lemmy is Canadian so there is that. My next phone will be a nothing or fairphone.
Cutting everything that we can identify as American. UK has better TV. Foreign films are often better than the “blockbuster” junk out of Hollywood.
Nope. I’m listening to canadian music and watching international films these days.
Can’t go wrong with TPB

Fuckin’ right! Trailer Park Boys!
Ew.
No.
Considering what consuming American culture has done to Americans, it’s probably better not to ingest any of that fucking swill.
Looks like taking the high seas is the common tactic. Godspeed!
Sure. I just make sure I pirate it all now.
