Yep I grew up on amazing reruns of tv from wayyyyy before my time. It’s hard for me to find it to watch today. And surely my kids will not even have the opportunity. The thought kills me.

I think the BBC or CBC archives are interesting. It’s also interesting to hear about what they lost due to lack of preservation from previous times.

Sometimes I think with the way everything is being digitized but how you need to pay to store it… That likely we’re losing more cultural content today than ever before. Just think about all the tv shows from the 90s you can’t watch anymore. No dvd, no stream, just … Forgotten. Some things we produce today don’t even have a physical tangible form unless you’re talking about some hard drive in the cloud.

It also gives me a sense of existential dread. Or the sense of permanent loss.

This is the economic centrism we voted for. We all knew Carney was going to do this under the guise of national economic protections against the shifting global alliances as of late. That’s what we wanted. Right?
