Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts going forward

    I hope he does. We handle lawsuits differently in Canada and he doesn’t own our judges or supreme court. I look forward to reading the judges decision lambasting him and his lawyers.

      Canada should make its own version of Netflix, Amazon and Uber and watch American companies cry while they try to sue in Canadian courts and flounder.

      Every country should do this. There’s no reason for a cut to go to Silicon Valley when you buy Canadian food from a Canadian restaurant delivered by a Canadian driver. Fuck em.

      Netflix should not be making ad revenue when people around the world binge watch Kim’s Convenience (a Canadian production).

      It’s about time we cut the US media mafia out. They need to see that the walled garden they’ve created around their profits is not impenetrable.

          CBC Gem is genuinely one of the best streaming services out there. And it’s free.

            The post I was responding too was about steaming services, so I responded in-kind. Torrents have obviously always been an option, even in the heyday of streaming.

        We have Crave owned by Bell Media, of course we don’t really care for our telecom companies either but least I think it’s a Canadian company.

        Netflix shouldn’t be getting revenue when you watch American-made shows either. Canada’s respect for US Copyright law was part of a trade agreement, which the US has violated

      What’s your laws say about contracts? Surely if they had a contract, they’d need to pay until the end of the contract, no?

      What happens if I dont pay my rent in Canada?
