 Damn. Another one I might have checked out. But - Nobody gets The Netflix...
 

And if they did, they'd be sick of the commercials

I just bit the bullet and paid for the ad-free tier on YouTube. I realized I
was watching more YouTube than just about anything else these days and the
commercials there are the most obnoxious ever invented. They literally
interrupt people in mid-sentence for a screaming ad about Ford trucks or
Febreeze or something. Just enraging.

 Guess no one is going to be producing in Canada anymore!!
 

The whole reason they have an industry was to get around the unions.
They've just cut their own throats to use the blood to sign their own death
warrants.

Exactly what I thought. What's the point of dragging all your actors and crews
to Canadia and making them live apart from their families if they now have to
deal with the same union crap as they do in L.A.?
