Is that really the title? Is this going to end up being a trilogy? Or will Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE be some kind of meta stage play or VR experience? While the teaser reveals nothing, it sure does have a lot of memberberries. I wonder if it's Lydia's dad's funeral they're...

Okay, then I'll put it this way. If every single minister of Parliament were to actually vote based on the majority opinion in their riding, there's no way this government would have even lasted through to 2024. It certainly wouldn't have survived today. Eventually, when MPs outright ignore...

Considering the response this last one got, they may very well with the next one. Is Roger Corman still active? The Fantastic Four film he made in the 90s was exclusively for the purpose of rights retention, and considering the ultra-low budget it really wasn't that bad a film. No worse than...

Current projections put the Cons at around 210 seats, with 170 needed for a majority. That's the current will of the people. I doubt the next government will be a minority. Whether it does well or poorly, who's to say. If they end up being twats, I'll be the first to lambast them. But they've...

It's doubtful to work; but he's trying to force Jagmeet's hand because on April 22nd, new federal electrocal district boundaries are established which actually tilt things more in the Conservatives favor and make things worse for the NDP. Despite their "successes" of late, the NDP continue to...

Although our system could be better, especially in terms the availability of family doctors, nurses and wait times for things like MRIs and whatnot (these are probably its 3 biggest challenges), I don't have any personal grievances against it on behalf of myself or my immediately family. It...

Geez, what's Canada going to do with all its surplus laser tag sets now?

Anonymous is correct. Nearly every European country with nationalized health care has a system vastly superior to Canada and (perhaps most importantly) gets far better value for their money than Canada manages to. If there's one thing Canadian governments excel it, it's pissing away money for no...

No, not at all. Canada's health care system is actually a (not very efficient) mish-mash of public and private coverage. It's also a provincial responsibility, so every province governs health care themselves and has their own unique spin on it. In my province, our public "Insurance" is called...

Minority governments in Canada typically don't last long enough to get much done; and after all this time I think a majority of people are tired of nothing getting accomplished. They're willing to throw caution to the wind and vote Conservative on the off chance that something might improve...

One of our (opposition) MPs recently suggested that appointing a Potted Plant as a Department Head (aka Cabinet Minister) could be a viable option, after several repeated instances of testimonies that accounted to "well, a Minister can't be aware of everything going on in their department!" as...

The Buffalo region of the US just south of me has several Topps Friendly Markets, which I think is some kind of local chain. I like going in there during my monthly trips across the border to pick up some items. My impression of the US market has always been what Steevy Maximum just confirmed up...

As the 0.001% of shoppers who goes into Costco to only buy 1 or 2 items, i have to say I really do love their self-checkout. There's nothing quite so irritating as waiting in a queue of 10 people, each with a FULL Costco-sized cart while all I want to do is checkout with my 2 things, grab a hot...

I don't mind steelbooks, although I'm not a hardcore collector of them. Unless I'm really in love with the artwork or the steelbook includes something the standard release doesn't, I'll go for the regular case as they're easier to replace when damaged. Years ago, I used to avoid Steelbooks more...

They didn't sell it off as much as contract out the manufacturing and distribution, mostly because their own physical media division was a mess, and Sony's is top-notch. I'm sure Disney still gets the lion share of the sales, with Sony getting a cut in addition to offsetting their costs. Now...

Andor: Season 1 and Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Complete Series will be the next two former-Disney+ "exclusive" Star Wars shows to get the physical media treatment. Disney is continuing the trend of individual format releases, so 4K and Blu-ray will be alone in their individual steelbooks. I'm sure...

Not unlike the Liberal's new online harms bill in Canada. On its face, it's designed to protect children from harmful content online as well as protect people from revenge porn/etc, however that's only a fraction of what's in the bill. It also drastically increases the government's ability to...

Personally, I consider myself a centrist that leans moderately left on social issues and moderately right on fiscal ones, which I'm starting to think is a more common stance in Canada than I've previously believed. I've never been a member of any political party, and have never donated a dime to...

I never got the impression that the Sphere Builders survival depended on breaking into our realm; it seemed like they were simply aggressive and wanted to expand. You could argue the Xindi believed their survival depended on the success of the weapon, but even in their case they had been told...

Well, there are worse things to pine for than affordability for all. I could be pining for the days when Canadians only had 1 or 2 sources of news, and lamenting how much easier it was to lie to the country that way. :cautious: Quebec governments have always been a lost cause. Because they're...
