  • It won’t for a few generations, and that’s only if we at least attempt to bring the architects to justice and go after MAGA and its supporters like the Nazis they are

    It is refreshing to hear that there are some Americans who understand that.

    International relations with the US don’t automatically become awesome after Trump is out of power (regardless how that exit happens).

    You guys need to fix the stuff he broke, punish his co-conspirators and fix the systems that allowed someone like Trump gain the power to do what he has done.

    That is going to take longer than a single reasonable president’s term.

    The rest of the world needs to be able to trust that the USA won’t go down this road again.






  • I think a lot of that is because the Americans are right there and they export a ton of American exceptionalism to us through their media. And have done since the earliest days of newspapers.

    While the Cancon regulations were a level of protection from that overwhelming presence, they didn’t go far enough (IMHO)

    I have long advocated for the cable TV foreign carriage regulations to require no more than 30% of international channels to be from any single country. That would have reduced the overwhelming impact that American “culture” has had on Canada.

    Alas, with cable’s growing irrelevance, that opportunity is long gone.
