People watching TV Badly is a noble TVIV tradition.

Seriously. What the gently caress. This show is great.

Nice, thanks! I may be headed that way this weekend and might take a side trip, chuck a rock or two.


While I tend to agree with this more often than not, all the Canada stuff, including Luke, is also not part of her tale at this point and certainly nothing she's privy to either. If they went out of their way to depict Canada's refugee/immigration policy (which I found too trite and rosy by half - "here's a health card and free money") they could depict more of the coup and the reactions to the plummeting birth rate in other countries.

It's trite and rosy to us because we're used to a government that despite having plenty of money, only takes more and more every year and treats immigrants like poo poo. That's part of the point.
