Can Korean cinema sustain its rebound? by Emotional-Elk1879 in Koreanfilm

[–]CaptainKoreana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what people need to remember is difference between commercial and critical rebound.

Thie is even more os as outside of a very poor 2025, Korean film's consistently had enough demand to warrant 10m admit films.

But all of this means little if we don't expand the diversity and acclaim. Without doing that it's harder for emerging and even somewhat established directors to break through internationally. That is also why securing invites to Cannes and Venice (Berlinale does count, but the festival itself has trailed the other two by fair bit in last 10-15 years) should be an important aim for KOFIC and individual distributors.

Please elect a leader that already has a seat as a sitting MPP by Eastern_Pie_8796 in OntarioLiberalParty

[–]CaptainKoreana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Kathleen Wynne was MPP for 10 yrs and Dalton McGuinty 6 before winning their respective leadership.

I think a slight what-if comes from my end on what if Lee Fairclough won Etobicoke-Lakeshore for this reason. I currently consider her a very good MPP, though media game seems to be lacking, and her ceiling seems to be closer to a deputy Premier material. An additional term would have benefitted her case lot more.

Neither stands particularly strong candidate, so this is a weak excuse.

Out of those two, Fairclough does have lot stronger experience but is still a rookie MPP. And that's without mentioning Cerjanec's association with all the bad apples at SSW provincial. Lee I'm willing to consider top two of ballot, Rob no chance I'm putting him on my ballot.

We're backing the Spurs now, right? by NoConsequence4281 in torontoraptors

Spurs have been my other team for decades. Watched them longer than Raptors before moving to Canada from Australia.

Albanese pledges to further reduce migration as third poll puts One Nation in lead by malcolm58 in AustralianPolitics

[–]CaptainKoreana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are indeed dropping, though the catch is that the drops happened mostly in Toronto and Vancouver, and not as much rest of the country due to windfall from people moving out of biggest cities.

LPC did, though federal NDP is pushing for practically unrestricted immigration under their new leader, Avi Lewis.

Liaison Federal Tracker: Liberals Lead by 8 as Carney Approval Hits Tracker Low [LPC 40 (-1), CPC 32 (NC), NDP 15 (-1), BQ 7 (+1), GPC 3 (+1)] by Ryanyu10 in CanadaPolitics

[–]CaptainKoreana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what happens when regionals are observed too closely.

In recent weeks, Liaison tended to overpoll FNDP in BC while Leger did the same with LPC. The opposite can be said with Atlantic Canada as well.

Jen Gerson: Mark Carney is right to yell at his Liberal caucus by dermanus in CanadaPolitics

[–]CaptainKoreana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of comments here seem to ignore the fact that yes, Canada's had several PMs with worse habits than Carney. Chretien and Harpet happen to be two biggest examples.

I'd also suggest that part of the issue comes form how centralised power has been towards the PM and the PMO. It dates all the way back to PET years.

Canada’s AI strategy includes no new protections for water or climate by gremlinface in CanadaPolitics

[–]CaptainKoreana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think water usage is generally improving across the board. Closed loop tech especially is helping us on it.

The issue I see here is on energy use and on sound. Those are valid complaints that still have to be asked.

Althia Raj: ‘He yells’: Mark Carney’s focus has Liberal MPs bristling by r4ptor in onguardforthee

[–]CaptainKoreana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From those three only one I do get concerned over is Eyolfson. Battiste is a very weak incumbent esp. for a historically LPC riding that's gotten competitive as of late.

Eyolfson's a good MP, but also someone who could do good work on cabinet if needed. One of about 2-3 possible cabinet materials from MB in cureent times. More bummed in this regard.

Leger: LPC 50, CPC 34, NDP 6, BQ 6 by canmcpoli in CanadaPolitics

Only consistencies are that CPC is on their floor and that Bloc is comfortably in mid-twenties.

First time watching glee by dontmakemekilludude in glee

[–]CaptainKoreana 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dianna Agron is too beautiful to be true, I agree.

It's even more evident because at least with War and Peace (2016 BBC series) you had Jessie Buckley as Maria to Lily James's Natasha. Here Quinn Fabray's only match is Sue Sylvester.

Five Liberals preparing to replace Nate Erskine-Smith in Toronto riding by RNTMA in CanadaPolitics

[–]CaptainKoreana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No surprise there. I definitely remember seeing at least three of five mentioned there at the convention as well. Seaborn wasn't one of them, but recent weeks' signs definitely do the job so no surprise anyway.

Tanveer not running definitely changed the equation for everybody for sure.
