| Thanks, Bart, Doc. I recently watched this video on that explains the problem with Hollywood and the mediocrity of its corporate overlords: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqhC5fMyU_I The TL;DR version is that corporations such as Disney are so devoid of creativity that they can only acq... |

DrCaleb DrCaleb: Their heads would explode at "Flowers for Algernon".
Or "Of Mice and Men," though that book is also challenged frequently. |

| Well, he's not wrong about Star Wars, a storied franchise that stood at the pinnacle of pop culture that crashed and burned in the space of five years under Kennedy's reign. The Force Awakens was fine for what it was--a nostalgia wank, but was never more than than because the plot was paper-thin and... |

| It's funny when people insist that how the world is moving from oil. Looks like Saudi/Russian price war and COVID-19 will put an end to that because of the oil glut. Renewables were always a boutique industry and never were a viable option because of the expenses involved. Now that the world is faci... |

| That's FV's opinion. He has all the right in the world to it. If he's anything like hundreds of thousands or even millions of other Albertans who've endured the last five years of perpetual recession he has absolutely no reason to be grateful to the federal government. I know I don't. I owe the gov... |

| For as bad off as Alberta is, I imagine this price war will bite the Saudis even harder as their economy is even more reliant on oil. What else do they export, Wahhabism? |

Thanos Thanos: "Love it or leave it" comments are the nadir of any serious conversation.
Sounds awfully close to what the Trumpsters say, eh? |

| We'll be back giving each other shit soon enough. Same with the inevitable return of the same old tedious region-based politics. Just because we're having one very good shining moment doesn't make the other problems go away. Hear hear. Canadians may be self-absorbed and complacent in their mediocri... |

| But I'm still waiting for an answer as to what excuse Trudeau has for running large deficits over the past 4 years. Living in the time of cholera excluded? Don't hold your breath for an answer from him. However, if I were to guess as to an excuse, I would say that it is fairly typical leftist ortho... |

| No, Beave. Torontonians believe in the fairy tales of Canada's greatness and often get belligerent or hysterical when faced with the nation's mediocrity. It's hilarious that you believe that the current government's deficit spending, which by far exceeds the Harper governments, is false when Trudeau... |

PublicAnimalNo9 PublicAnimalNo9: Bleats the *Mod Edit* Torontonian.
Beave, like most Torontonians, has no inkling of what goes on outside the GTA and therefore little value should be placed on his opinions. It is entertaining to see him pretend to be insightful and intelligent by posting article that appeal to his cognitive bias. |

| Indeed. We Canadians should be more concerned about our own nation because Canada has already devolved into a failed state due to structural problems that have existed in excess of a century. Thanks to the Liberal party's pre-coronavirus spending spree, the nation is on the road to insolvency and ir... |

| That is just wrong. Morpheus is a frikken god, not a sidekick. The 'Death' miniseries was pretty awesome back in the day. Too bad where it ended up. Morpheus died in at the conclusion of his series with Daniel Hall (grandson of the Golden Age Hawkman) taking the mantle of Dream. Dream wasn't so muc... |
