It's so hard to tell with how things are going these days sadly

Speaking as a Canadian, there is also some much arrogance and ignorance about things outside of your country that baffles my mind (not from all but from a large portion of the population). American exceptionalism and decades of really effective propaganda that has gotten increasingly more unhinged from reality and crumbling education system probably isn't helping either. (I don't mean that as an insult, every country has issues, and we were very good neighbors and allies until recently)

I watch a few different channels regularly. Here are a few of my favorites

Cecilia Blomdahl lives in the Arctic Circle/northern Norway and has lots of adventures and videos her day to day life in a really interesting way.

Also some Brits who have been renovating abandoned chateaus in France called Escape the Dream and a new one called Mucky Mansion are great escapism

Brain Pilot makes some good videos recapping a few shows i enjoy

I have a few classic youtubers I still watch from back in the day Safiya Nygard and Grace Helbig, for some beauty/crazy fashion/cooking stuff

If you want a sane political/comedy channel, Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck is fantastic. In that same vein, Some More News does fantastic deep dives in lots of political and social issues focused mostly on the US

Living big in a tiny house is really interesting seeing cool tiny homes around the world

Takis shelter is a channel from an amazing man who runs a sanctuary for animals in Crete and is a literal saint

Honestly, because you can find fun and different stuff we don't have here, see Trader Joe's and the many treasures you can get there. It's a cheap vacation, and at least in the past, you could get a lot for your money because stuff was much cheaper (not so much since covid and the last few years, though)

Technically, he is an RFK supporter who begrudgingly became a Trump supporter. Either way, he is willfully ignorant at best and a piece of garbage at worst

Does it need to be plugged in? There are some really great phone casting/mirroring apps that do the job well

CBC Gem is pretty good if you support the paid version, too, only like $6 for ad free

I love that my country's economy is collateral damage for this moronic stunt that will do no good for anyone. But at least it seems to have united a lot of Canadians

Anker! They are super good quality and have a phenomenal warranty/replacement program that's so easy to deal with

I purchased one of these a while ago, and I am loving it so far. It's made out of coconut coir, the shape is fantastic for most jobs, the bristles are super scrubby without scratching, and it's easy to clean. Although I am not sure how long it will last as I have only had it a few months myself. But I have never loved a dish brush as much as this one, and it's a bit more of a greener option as a bonus

Religion amd the fighting it causes in it's name

I don't know about my favorite ever, but the episode I rewatch and love the most from the last few years is the Jackie Daytona (On the Run) episode of What We Do In The Shadows. It's just perfection from start to finish. It's ridiculous, hilarious, it's endlessly quotable, and it doesn't matter how many times I have seen it- I will always be up for another rewatch. The show is great in it's entirety but that episode was just pure gold!
