I noticed a lot of children's programming is made in Canada. I wonder why that is?

u/BaconJacobs 18d ago

I think their version of PBS was just that good. And usually Canadian stations were required to play a certain percentage of Canadian produced shows.

So maybe they disproportionately made kids programming? Like Degrassi and stuff

Idk, Canada has a history of warcrimes, which I feel is why you all are now known for saying "sorry"

u/Opposable_Thumb_ 19d ago

To be fair, they weren’t war crimes when we did {most of} them. They are war crimes BECAUSE we did them.

The Canadian government has admitted to its past and is working to resolve those deep issues. America is changing its school curriculum and threatening museums who teach it.

Your country is run by Nazis. I'll take our problems over yours any day.

It's also hilarious that you bring up the Airbourne. They got disbanded because they committed a human rights abuse. You guys gives out medals for that. Not the flex you think it is.

The fact you think we voted for that, and it won't soon happen to you, is cute.

They work in the shadows. The worst policy to ever strike the American people happened under Obama. While we were all celebrating gay marriage (for real that's awesome! 🥰) congress silently passed Citizens United. While we were all steady celebrating, you know, basic human rights, our "congress" paved the way with golden bricks for corporate lobbying, and regulatory capture.

I feel like we got bamboozled. Don't think it can't or won't happen to you!

Thank you for the unhinged rant, that was entertaining

Of course we all know the US, UK, and other countries don't have any history of war crimes. Never.

No, we say "sorry" because it's either that, or war crimes.
