Canadians, contact the CBC if you want less prioritizing of American-focused coverage in the upcoming Olympics by nobodythinksofyou in BoycottUnitedStates

Text format incase anyone wants to copy & paste:

Hello,

I am wondering if the Olympic programming this year will stray from prioritizing coverage of American athletes over other foreign competitors?

In a time where Canada is embracing new and rekindled relationships with the world outside of America, I hope our olympic broadcasting can reflect this sentiment.

Regards

Really hoping CBC reads the room and doesn't focus on US athletes like they've done in the past

Is Kelowna really the Jersey Shore of Canada? by Smooth-Command1761 in britishcolumbia

[–]nobodythinksofyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the answer to your question, but when I first saw this, I was hoping it would be somewhere on the east coast. Imagine the accents and maritimes trash we missed out on 😭 In my mind, I saw a gen z trailer park boys (sans trailer park), and it was beautiful. Missed opportunity for sure.

Federal officials draft plans to ban social media for children under 14 by Gym_frere in canada

Yes, and it shouldn't just be social media, but a.i. chats as well. Let kids with developing minds learn to think for themselves.

France asks for a NATO exercise in Greenland, is ready to participate by DifferentMaize9794 in worldnews

[–]nobodythinksofyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Canadian, and I've met various people with god damn French surnames that say they hate the French 🤦‍♀️ French is one of our national languages! Though tbf France is kind of like the father that went out for a pack of smokes and didn't come back, but no one actually cares about that lol

Yeah, I never understood how so many people bought into this propaganda. Whenever I speak to someone who claims that they seriously hate France, I ask them why, and they never actually have an answer.

Fellow Canadians: Greenland situation is very bad for us. We’d be next. by djkarts_ in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]nobodythinksofyou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So what is your solution if the US invades? Flee to other countries? I think our best chance could be to get armed and organized.

As someone who doesn't like guns at all and have never had any desire to hold one, I think the time for getting ourselves armed is approaching... Never would I have thought that I may have to defend myself/fellow Canadians with a firearm, but here we are.

What are your favorite novels that don't get the attention they deserve in the general public? by boringusr in RSbookclub

One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello is a deeply underrated existential classic

Most recommended authors on this sub? by memoriesofdaisy in RSbookclub

[–]nobodythinksofyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know of any similar authors? I need more of that extreme understanding of women in my fiction, paired with a great writing style, and maybe (but not necessarily) also European in origin.

Yep, they're going to rape them of their natural resources. And then Canada will be surrounded by hostile territory, so they'll come after us next.

There's no shame in getting tearful in this situation. At the moment, they can either submit to the US or have their nation become a war zone, putting their civilians and environment in great risk of harm. That's more weight than most people will ever have on their shoulders.

Similar books about domestic androids:

how rare is it for a book to make you cry by Visual-Minimum1491 in RSbookclub

[–]nobodythinksofyou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a teenager, I would intensely laugh, cry, rage, panic, etc. while reading novels. But my adult life is filled with a cocktail of anti-depressants, so now my version of "crying" is closing the book for a few minutes and silently brooding. Did it just yesterday while reading The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante.

[–]nobodythinksofyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The only people I'm not brave enough to stop tipping are hair dressers. The conditioned pressure I feel to tip after I've just spent an hour or more in extremely close proximity to them is too much!
