People oppose new housing because it β€œwon’t be affordable enough” and it will β€œjust house high-earners”.

Then they get surprised when long-time tenants in older housing get renovicted for high-earners to move in.

What did you expect?! High-earners would disappear?

Another update: Psycho-Pass: Providence has now been added to Crave! Unfortunately, the issue persists where it's actually impossible to find most of this stuff unless you're proactively searching for it.

By the book: Alberta schools pull at least 160 titles from shelves to meet provincial order | CBC News Alberta school divisions complying with a provincial order have removed dozens of graphic novels from their shelves, from illustrated versions of literary classics to coming-of-age memoirs and dramati...

Back to banning books.

Those afraid of libraries are the ones who should be using them.

β€œIt's the most significant order banning books in the history of Canada. There's never been anything like this.”

Probably. I think there's also a huge swath of Naruto Shippuden that we've just never gotten in English dub outside of physical release.

Yep. The stuff that's on Tubi is sub only though. The Sailor Moon dub is on Samsung TV of all places, but the Ranma 1/2 dub continues to be unavailable.

The million dollar question is when Viz will start approaching Disney+ Canada that way.

Big problem here is that these movies are really hard to FIND on the service. Not only is there no anime section, but most of them aren't even listed under new releases. You'd pretty much have to know that the Quintessential Quintuplets movie is there if you want to watch it.

Unfortunately, they look like D-tier isekai shows unless I'm missing something. Still, at least they're making a move.

Nice to see, that's a good range of movies. Don't have Crave, but Disney+ Canada looks to be adding some Sentai Filmworks titles this month... hope they add more in future months

Crave to add slate of 14 Crunchyroll films in March Bell Media’s Crave streaming service will add a cornucopia of anime films from Crunchyroll this March. The slate includes 14 different titles, from major franchises like Dragon Ball, Jujutsu …

Update on this: Psycho-Pass: Providence did not wind up getting added to Crave. The others have English dubs with some actually including French dubs as well, but no Japanese. Understandable, since Crave would be targeting an extremely mainstream crowd. imissbionix.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/c...

a cartoon scene with the words " don t you dare apologize son " Alt: Norman Osborn from The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon saying "don't you dare apologize, son. I Never do." to Peter Parker.

I always forget the anniversary for Spectacular Spider-Man. One of my fav shows, loved it to bits, and March 8th just sneaks up on me every time.

Best Spider-Man show, best Spider-Man thing; go watch it, it's only 26 episodes. Wish I could've made a bigger/better post on it but also:

Wealthy buyers in Manhattan are merging 2-3 townhouses into one mansion. It's just the tip of the iceberg, and a dramatic example of how not building housing makes existing housing less affordable.

This is a profound continental divide. Canadians overwhelmingly view other Canadians, even those unlike them, as being good people. Americans, more than any other country, view their neighbours and fellow citizens as bad people. Anti-Americanism flourishes in the United States

Want to own Anne of Green Gables in English? Now’s your chance. Someone on eBay listed a number of copies of the Korean-market β€œEnglish edition” DVD sets

These are English dub only, with KR/EN subs and are far rarer than the KR/JP dubbed set put out around the same time

I'm going to go ahead and recommend you watch the whole show front to back once it's been remastered.

Many are pointing out that permanent DST will mean children have to walk to school in the dark during the winter, but this could be an opportunity to lengthen winter break (which is too short) and shorten summer break (which is too long).
