That peak 2010ish insufferable David Miller anti-Mel Lastman mayoralty was like this brief flash of lightning before the emergence of Rob Ford, "I have enough to eat at home", and then followed by an avatar of what *should* have been the pre-1964 Upper Canada: John Tory. Olivia Chow is kind of a nostalgia mayor for that crowd.
I think now all those Metric fans from that 2006 video either moved to Bolton and Keswick because they're sick of evading Uber Eats biomass drivers, or are divorced and had to downsize to shoebox condos near the subway and are *finally* finishing their PhD's in political economy at....York, or whatever the hell Ryerson calls itself now.
CityTV is utter dreck, Znaimer content to make bank with his Zoomer Boomer porn only with lifestyle threads about Muskoka cottages rather than blowjobs in '78 Camaros.
At the same time that Anglo Canada was transforming, French Canada was changing from Catholic and traditional to secular and modernist. It was called the Quiet Revolution in Quebec. It's hard to tell if it was a manipulated change or organic, arguably French Canada was simply catching up to French Europe, The 1960's also saw the birth of both a peaceful separatist party, the PQ, and a violent separatist organization, the FLQ.
Nirvana is an example of a very conscious op/push.
Nirvana was specifically pushed with the fall of the berlin wall to destroy 80s metal.
Like as soon as the soviet union wasn't there and World War 3 wasn't a possibility they didn't want white boys crotch thrusting and hyping up how much they loved violence and fast cars and having sex.
Contrast Nirvana with Motley Crew or WASP and it's very clear which bands you want young white boys listening to when they might have to charge the Fulda Gap and which you want them listening to when you want them to be pacified and accept their replacement.
"Kick Start My Heart" and "Harder Faster"? Or "Rape Me"? Which do you want to train into white people in the 90s at the end of history?
Demand for 80s metal never died. WASP had videos and fan edits going viral on youtube to 20 million views in the 2010s. Like they were objectively bigger nostalgically than some of the biggest bands in the world's HITS 30 years later.
Definitely an interesting article but the Odyssey/Iran section seemed quite far-fetched. Christopher Nolan is one of the most famous directors of our time and created a movie about one of the most well-known pieces of Western literature. You don’t need CIA psyop to explain why the movie did well in spite of a black Helen of Troy or a troon. It was, in the end, a highly engineered movie, for better or worse.

I thought it was common knowledge that Mcgill University was an MK Ultra research/testing center.
Fascinating thesis about Toronto, I learned a lot. But what about Nirvana and Seattle in the early 1990s?
