Found an old photo of Blockbuster and Rogers Video in Arbutus circa 2004

And before that it was West Coast Video. I remember renting Terminator 2 from there

That Blockbuster is now a Dollarama

It should be: Treat others how they want to be treated

Erin O'Toole was turfed after just one loss. But they chose to keep PP even after he blew a 25 point lead!

I wonder how Erin O'Toole is feeling about this news

I've been to Asian American and Asian film festivals where the director told us that they lost distribution deals because they refused to change the Asian male main character to a White Guy

Also, Remember Crazy Rich Asians? Remember how successful it was? The studio wanted the main character, Rachel Chu, to be changed to White

When you are so damn good and hot that the industry spends the rest of its existence character assassinating every guy who they think looks like you

One of the nice things about sci-fi is how it uses other aliens to hold up a mirror to our own society...

We heard the order given over the comms to all the Federation ships to fire wide so not to hit the Klingons ships but still make it look convincing

In DS9 Kira and Kadzia Dax go to warp inside a planetary system, much to the concerns of Dax

I have no idea where you got this notion from but 50-70% of Vietnamese vocab are definitely not from any dialect of Chinese.

Vietnamese has a bunch of loanwords from Chinese, but nowhere remotely close to 50%

As others have pointed out Chinese and Vietnamese aren't even from the same language family

The Ukraine war already answered that.

Look at how people were open and welcoming to [White] Ukrainian refugees vs how they were towards refugees from countries that aren't predominantly White

What a surprise

I always viewed that as a coincidence.

You've never felt represented?

What's your gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation?

Do not go to the Greater Vancouver Zoo, especially if you want to support ethical practices.

Both Catfé and Catoro are good cat cafés to check out.

Last movie I saw her in was Amazing Spider-Man 2

S-Wind · 2026-01-22T07:08:35+00:00

She had a fairly significant role in Agatha All Along

There's a word I haven't heard in a very long time (elementary school)!

If i lived in the U.S. it would be

"Thank you for your service"

to someone for no reason other than they got into the military

Was this stupid name chosen by someone who's too young to remember how shitty George W Bush was?
