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.

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.

It's tragic too when there is so much Canadian media that gets overshadowed as a result. I've been picking up Orphan Black again which is a fantastic series, but too many Americans have never heard of it.

My wife loved orphan black! I didn't know it was Canadian. We both loved Kim's convenience. And Kenny vs Spenny is an all time great.

Kim's Convenience was an awesome show, until that last season... but yeah, definitely worth emphasizing Canadian gems like these.

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?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Made sense to me. Canadians dropping American goods in favor of Canadian made ones.

I too am confused by this streaming to cleaning connection.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

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.

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

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

WTF, I always thought Dr. Oetker was just another brand of some American multinational. It's apparently German.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dr. Oetkers

You guys get Dr. Oetker over there? Extremely jealous!

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Safeway had them on sale for like $3.50 so we loaded up lol

Are there some good Canadian seed boxes?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Not sure yet, I'm looking into it! I'll report back if I find a good one though
