jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That’s a fair criticism, unfortunately. 110
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It will be interesting to see how Slo Pitch does on Crave - I don’t think it’s gotten US distribution yet. 111
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026All of which is to say there are lots of different audience segments that don’t get much attention and the studios seem to have finally noticed that women watch TV, but that doesn’t mean that the queerness isn’t also important for a lot of viewers. 210
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Eg Off Campus was cute but the original music was entirely forgettable and if someone offered me a million dollars I couldn’t remember one visually interesting scene or photography choice. 110
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026At the same time, one does get the feeling that some of these shows are being knocked out to satisfy a “formula”, sort of like the record-label created boy bands and girl bands of the late 90s. 110
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I sort of half agree with this. Romance as a genre (as many female-coded interests) has largely been ignored on TV, so I think any reasonably well-done romance is probably going to do well on streaming, hockey or not (see eg the Love Hypothesis) 110
Reposted by @jennothingelse.bsky.socialPeter Coffinman @petercoffman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That Canada was modeling its response to a potential invasion by the USA was widely reported in January, so this isn’t really news - except to an American audience, which is presumably the target here. 2121

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yeah, and it seems like it would motivate businesses to incur those Capex expenditures *now* when the economy is going to need the boost rather than waiting for stronger economic times. 130

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Here it seems like Americans are trying to use it as a cudgel for why Canadians should trust the next US admin, and I would argue that this is in fact a reason to diversify our relationships - if you *almost* followed your friend over a cliff, it’s probably a good idea to broaden your friend group. 1347

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I think Carney’s strategy is “find ways to make sure Canada survives the next decade”. 000
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Also, unlike a lot of European countries and even Canada where medical education is heavily subsidized, specialists have *massive* student debt and don’t really start making money until sometimes well into their 30s. 0120
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Short answer: no, a tax ruling just means you know in advance how a particular structure will be taxed, so there are no surprises. Different structures have different tax treatments and investors typically want to know upfront what taxes are going to be payable (certainty + predictability). 170
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The article cited Holocaust denial and saying that “Jews should go back to Poland” as examples of the kind of antisemitism Jews are facing on campus, not criticism of Israeli government. 110
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 14/09/2026We share and land border with Denmark and a maritime border with France. Canadians understand the geography perfectly well; it’s the shared political interests that are driving this. 2220

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 07/09/2026In Canada at least, you have to be living together *and* in a conjugal relationship. The intention when the law evolved was to provide protection to (mostly lower income/marginalized) women at a time when most women were still dependent on their male partner. 000

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I think what some people forget (especially if they aren’t physically in Ottawa) is the weird internal wheeling and dealing that goes on behind closed doors. I think if Carney hasn’t stayed at the table as long as he did that there would have MPs from affected regions in revolt. 100
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 23/08/2026There’s a real reluctance to accept that the America they/we thought we knew no longer exists. It’s painful because the US is, sometimes quite literally, family. 010
jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I think the bigger factor is the close ties of that class to the US. I’m at a Bay Street firm and *a lot* of people (myself included) have some sort of US tie - US family, went to US schools, have kids at US colleges in sports scholarships etc. 220

jennothingelse.bsky.social @jennothingelse.bsky.social · 22/08/2026There are already pretty strong hints that it was (1) restrictions on who Canada could do trade deals with and (2) restrictions on French language requirements (which would almost certainly be unconstitutional, in addition to being totally unacceptable to Quebec). 140
