Glad to see a Canadian specific episode on 99% invisible podcast

But not a single word about Quebec or French language when you speak of CanCon and CRTC.

Spotify playlist for the episode.. 126 songs.. 2 in French.

Nothing more Canadian than seeing Francophone culture ignored I guess. Which is insane considering what Quebec brought on the musical front.

The historic 1941 photograph is a piece of anti-British propaganda from Japan.....

The image, titled "Anti British propaganda, Japan 1941," reflects growing anti-British sentiment in Japan leading up to the Pacific War.

The women, likely geisha, are holding their noses in disdain beside a picture of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The initials "W.C." under Churchill's portrait stand for both Winston Churchill and a "Water Closet" (toilet), symbolizing contempt.

For a long time I've considered Google as a close to neutral value proposition. Yes they controlled a hell of a lot, and they know arguably too much but it was always in their interest to offer you a deal where you personally benefited a somewhat equal amount and they funded the ecosystem that made it possible. Now though it's clear they've gone full Vader and altered the bargain. Now getting de-Googled feels existential.
