I’m very familiar with it in BC, and the replies that said “I think it’s more of a [region] thing” mentioned places across the entire country. If it’s “regional” to Maritimes, Ontario, Manitoba, and BC, you got yourself a national product.

My friend Ben Mills used to have a joke about how we stopped being able to complain about artists selling out when the majority of people stopped buying the art. If the best case scenarios for downloading and streaming puts fractions of cents in bank accounts, then they can do the commercial.

Tonight, LeBron scored 8 points. The last time he scored less than 10 in a regular season game, I was still in high school.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Last year, Justin even took me to lunch with the Japanese Prime Minister.
