@DiscussingFilm Idris is being truthful. Excessive wokeism makes movies suck, and we all know it. Drastically rewriting Bond (or any icon) for the ‘current year’ isn’t bold, it's vandalism. Keep Bond pure escapism. We don't need to 'update' him or any other character.
Instead of accusing everyone of antisemitism, why not address the argument with verifiable facts? Using a serious accusation as a substitute for a rebuttal is intellectual cheapness. It’s the debate equivalent of kicking someone in the nuts because you’re losing the argument. Do you also resort to pinching, slapping, and hair-pulling when words stop working?
You're intentionally posting an inflammatory title, CTV. Be better journalists. He's talking specifically about a Black actor playing James Bond, because James Bond, as the character has traditionally been written and portrayed, isn't Black. His point wasn't about Black actors in general. It was about changing an established character's identity and whether audiences would go for it. Looking at the reaction every time the topic comes up, he's probably right that a lot of Bond fans wouldn't be thrilled about Bonds character being vandalized in the name of inclusivity.
Let’s be honest: he doesn’t treat men that way. If the interviewer had been a big guy sitting across from him asking the exact same questions, he’d have kept his mouth shut and answered them. It’s hard not to notice that his bravado seems to disappear when he’s dealing with someone he thinks he can intimidate.
Notice how the loudest voices telling you Canada is completely broken, we’re in a recession, nobody can afford anything, and the whole country is collapsing…
Are also the ones with a Patreon link in their bio.
Or a course to sell you. Or a newsletter subscription. Or a tip jar. Or a book. Or a merch store.
Doom is a business model. The more hopeless they can make you feel, the more likely you are to pay them to explain it to you.
If Canada is so unaffordable, how are these people making a living screaming about it on the internet full time?
Canada has real problems worth talking about. Housing costs are brutal. Groceries are expensive. Those are legitimate conversations.
But there’s a difference between someone trying to fix a problem and someone trying to monetize it. One of them wants things to get better. The other needs things to stay broken.
And before anyone comes at me: my page literally tells you not to subscribe. I don’t want your money. I just want people to think.
The CFIA just banned livestock imports from Texas, and honestly, good.
New World screwworm was eradicated from North America in the 1960s. It took decades of effort to get rid of it. Now it’s back, confirmed in Texas, and a second case just popped up days after the first.
This is a flesh-eating parasite. The larvae literally consume living tissue from the inside out. It can kill an animal. It can spread through wildlife with no respect for borders.
Texas is calling it an “overreaction.” The same Texas whose governor just declared a state of disaster over it.
Canada has the tightest North American cattle supply in 75 years. We don’t have the luxury of gambling on a parasite re-establishing itself here because someone got offended by a precautionary import ban.
Buy Canadian beef. 🇨🇦
@garycp70 Asking for evidence is now disrespectful. This is the most disrespectful man on the planet. This woman has bigger bollocks than all of you. Not only do we have to endure Trump’s continuous gaslighting but that of his cultists too 🙄

You can paint fact-checking questions as disrespect all you want, but the US President just walked out of an interview because a journalist wouldn't buy his bullshit.
That's what people usually do when they don't have answers and can't handle being challenged. Looks bad, real bad.
Now here you are crying like a BITCH that you're sick of journalists pressing him for truthful answers to their questions.
Wow, just wow.
