Canada here! Literally cancelled Netflix last week and talked to my SO about using the money instead to pay for a seedbox lol.
Also trying to do a grocery run without buying any American products is a challenge but doable! Loading up on Dr. Oetkers pizza and Romanian pasta
Are there some good Canadian seed boxes?
Not sure yet, I’m looking into it! I’ll report back if I find a good one though
WTF, I always thought Dr. Oetker was just another brand of some American multinational. It’s apparently German.
Yeah lettuce seems the biggest challenge to me. All the heads of iceberg lettuce come from the US. What pisses me off is that under the romaine lettuce it says “Product of USA or Mexico”. Which is it? I have no problem buying it if it’s from Mexico (they’re in the same situation as we are) but not getting it if it’s from the US.
I have noticed on some products the grocery story is putting a maple leaf beside the price when it’s made in Canada, but it’s not universal yet.
Cancelled my Netflix and prime and subbed to CBC gem.
One big problem with our country is that our own identity and culture has been eroded by American pop culture. It’s honestly good to get away from American media and focus on Canadian made content otherwise we our identity and culture just blends into American culture and I hate that.
Just did my part 🚫🎞️🇨🇦
Context?
Nice rock you live under.
Trump’s been threatening to Anschluss Canada as the 51st state and been planning on tariffs and other fuckery to harm Canada. So a lot of Canadians are cancelling services provided by US-based companies and pirating entertainment instead.
I did know about the 51st state thing but wanted to know more about the boycott. thanks.
Are people really buying into this 51st state nonsense? It’s never going to happen. Orange man is a legit professional shit talker. Damn near everything he states shouldn’t be taken seriously. I’ve easily learned to ignore his words and simply focus on his actions.
Unfortunately, you really can’t afford to ignore his words, because sometimes they do lead to actions. Hell, people ignoring his words is how he got re-elected in the first place.
The annexation stuff might be nonsense, but nevertheless, previous US administrations always treated Canada as a partner. Trump treats them like an enemy, despite them having done absolutely nothing wrong. So I fully understand the Canadian people, why would they continue to give money to companies in a fascist dictatorship? The US under Trump are not much better than Russia, China, Iran, Israel, North Korea, etc.
That’s exactly what people said about a certain austrian during the 1920/1930s, regarding his speeches.
As the events leading to WW2 has teached us, words turn into actions frighteningly fast.
Everyone was doubting that Russia would invade Ukraine right until it happened.
When an idiot is in charge, prepare for idiocy.
I don’t really know who was doubting it, they had already invaded a couple years prior, it’s not wonder they wanted to finish the job
Either way, if it’s an opportunity to even slightly impoverish shitty Americans I’m rock hard on board with it.
The real win IMO would be for a collective Canadian identity to emerge from this so we can stop aping shitty, fake, trite, tasteless American bullshit.
Hey Canada, just so you know: I’m an European, and I watch “Son of a Critch” and “Shoresy”
“Set the tone!”
ha?!
regardless, this would be a good time for countries to strengthen laws protecting against foreign ownership of media companies and heavily regulating foreign media companies operating in countries instead of opening up the floodgates and letting american companies control the culture.
I cancelled two weeks ago expecting it to be difficult, but I don’t really miss it. Maybe something happens when you get old, but I just don’t have the will to commit to a series or a binge watch anymore. What I’ve started doing is borrowing movies at the library, which is free and takes forever, but is oddly charming.
I started cancelling all American subscriptions back in December (all Google services out, Facebook+Instance out, Amazon out…) I’m down to Netflix but currently building out my movie library daily. Plex server is next. Long live Torrents!
Eco-Max makes good dish soap and other products like that here in Canada…free shipping in Canada and you can get it at Walmart:
Did you mean to comment this somewhere else? Or am I just not getting something?

I too am confused by this streaming to cleaning connection.
really? I thought the canadian connection was the relevant part (shop and promote companies in your area), but the walmart drop kinda confuses me lol.
the quality and selection are better on certain websites with weird little cartoon character avatars
the CBC celebrates
too many ships in this image.
So Netflix is also on the MAGA bandwagon?
An arr set up is not hard to do. Though I am having a hard time finding a good waybto acquire music. I have lidarr but is there a jellyseerr option for music?
Soulseek?
Netflix is really shit as a subscription anyway, it’s gone downhill with the amount of ‘tiers’ and constant slop production that encourages cancelled 1-season shows over longer, fan-driven works.
