    Canadians definitely know how to hold a grudge. On “Below”, a new Netflix show that takes place in Newfoundland, you will only hear the actors asking for drinks mixed with Pepsi. One thing they got right, no one orders Coca-Cola on The Rock.

    If you need proof of how much of a grudge Canadians hold, and how long, even the new show “Below” is accurate that you can’t find a “rum and Coke” in Newfoundland ‘cos they’re in their 3rd decade of boycotting Coke after Coke closed a factory there. Anyhow, Canadians are not returning to Vegas.

Experts have long warned that immigration dragnets will inevitably result not only in the erosion of rights for immigrants but also for citizens. Since the start of this Trump administration, we've watched those warnings come true.

    I was enjoying Netflix's Below but then a man survived a submarine explosion as the sub was climbing rapidly to the surface from the sea bottom. He had some mild bends instead of instant explosive death and it killed the entire show for me. I just could not suspend that amount of disbelief.

    Watching Below. I have to laugh at it. Cause obviously they don’t have much of a marine consultant. They are using a radar as a sonar. The sweeps are going way too fast. They are obviously going off the old idea of a sonar with sweeps and beeps (which would be annoying as hell to listen to)
