This is a great list! I found The Black Cat terrifying (it gave me nightmares) and Freaks is one of my all-time favourites. Pre-code horror movies are the best horror movies.

Ah yes, the mind is boggled by immigrants and tourists who don’t want to get abused and thrown into a secret nightmare prison for weeks or months before eventually being whisked away to a country they didn’t come from in the first fucking place. What a mystery!

Canada’s residential school history is not the distant past, so much so that the person who founded orange shirt day is still alive to tell the story. We should have deep respect for these survivors and put this story at the forefront of why we even have a National Day For Truth and Reconciliation.

“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”

The director of the 1997 sci-fi film, which has often been misunderstood, says the gung-ho soldiers who are its heroes "are fascists without knowing that they’re fascists. That’s the point.”

Mandatory viewing. Cocteau was the spineless brat prince of the French art world, but towards the end he really was operating on a level of visual poetry and special effect aura that's the closest just about anyone's ever gotten to actual goddamn sorcery on celluloid.

If Canada joins the European Union, the EU is gonna need a new name. But what can we call it? Well, it's an organization, governed by international treaty And the main geographic unity if Canada joins wouldn't be Europe, but the North Atlanti—oh

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Former Turkmenistan President Saparmurat Niyazov once changed the months and days of the week to his name and the names of friends, family, and his own book. That seemed like the most absurd thing till I just that Trump wants to change the name of the Atlantic or Pacific (or both) to America.
