The only issue with the podcast is that he cant get rights for the entire song, so it's not quite the same as radio.

It's still as wonderful as the show was in all the other ways.

Metric isn't bad, either.

I admittedly haven't been a big radio listener for almost twenty years, but I saw a huge difference in ~1997 or so, when a lot of Canadian indie started getting airplay. I don't think we'd have Metric without CanCon requirements.

This hasn't been the case since the 1990s or so, when CanCon started to actually get good.

I will agree it sucked through the 70s and 80s, though. There was a looooong incubation period between the time CanCon took effect and the time it bore fruit in, eg, Canadian bands stopped sucking en-masse.

Alan Cross has a good podcast on CanCon and the long tail it required. I don't think modern governments can or will do anything like that again, where the payoff is decades after the costs and implementation.

Wasn't it that V is easier to carve or write than I with the tools at the time?

Anyone have that gif of Rupert Murdoch with a plate of cookies?

Found it...

The problem with the current program is that we did a "half Portugal" where we stopped with enforcement because it was cheaper, and also didn't put in funding for support and treatment because because they (the goverment) thought is was cheaper.

The problem with this, knowing that our government is cheap. They'll talk about enforcement, but will be super cheap about it. I'd actually be more worried about this endeavour if I thought they were going to fund it adequately.

Sorry, the double-negative threw me for a loop.

The Boomers fought in world wars?

In utero, maybe.

You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.

You know that's an option, right?

Oh, if only that were true.

But what about that one guy who writes absolutely brilliant VB?

Putting aside the obvious concerns, a mayor doing this and using "it's the same as the maintenance guy" should be a red flag.

I've worked in companies where high-level people take it upon themselves to do operational work. It's at best pointless retail poltics, and at worst it's rampant bikeshedding.

Don't worry, he'll build it, make it a toll highway, and sell the rights to a foreign company for 99 years. It'll all work out, just trust me, bro!

Ah, the old "How hard do you want it, how hot do you want it and where do you want it?" climate controls.

There were and are the best.

I'm sure China would be equally amenable to a peace proposal that would allow Taiwan part of the mainland, or would allow Tibet autonomy.

China, in other words, can fuck right off.

No, it's much more mundane; Netanyahu just wants to stay out of prison.

No matter who wins, the real winner will still be the Irvings.

If someone could port AUX's UI, that would be perfect.

And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it's love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!

Depressingly, also Fetterman.
