Oh man, it’s been a whole month since I’ve posted! What a month it has been and so much to write about, my list is getting ever longer.

I forgot how much I love blogging. It’s good to be back.

One esoteric (at least for Americans, I’d say) channel that I came across on YouTube is 22 Minutes. My understanding is they are Canada’s closest satirical equivalent of America’s Saturday Night Live (SNL), but much smaller in scale/production/viewership. Canadians watch so much of our content, why don’t we watch more of theirs?

Much like Kim’s Convenience, it’s great, but seemingly just not as well known among my fellow Americans here in the United States.

I think I’ve gotten more Canadian suggested content in my YouTube feed since I recently liked Prime Minister Carney’s channel, Kim’s Convenience, CBC, House of Strombo, and have been following Rush’s concert tour updates.

In any event, 22 Minutes is all pretty goofy and cringey, but it’s also interesting to see.

Here are some of my favorite skits I came across. They are super short:

  1. “Americans think Canada Can’t Invade Them. Think Again.” Portland and Seattle get shoutouts! www.youtube.com/watch

  2. “There’s only one winner in a trade war…” www.youtube.com/watch

  3. “Americans moving to Canada receive a not-so-warm welcome.” www.youtube.com/watch

  4. “Introducing Canada’s People of Color Police Department - the P.O.C. P.D.” www.youtube.com/watch

  5. “What does a pot sobriety test look like?” www.youtube.com/watch

… And last but not least, of course a great interview with PM Carney at a Tim Horton’s! Big daddy energy, indeed! www.youtube.com/watch
