Four frame comic. First frame shows a Canadian flag. Text reads : 
the new canadian citizenship
policy, which was enacted in
December 2025, restores
citizenship by descent, for
ancestors as far as you can
prove.
2nd frame shows a locomotive. Text reads :
that means that if one of your
grandparents, great-grand-
parents or even farther was
demonstrably born in Canada, you
don't even need to apply for
citizenship - you are retro-
actively granted it.
Third frame shows an old dusty register book. Text reads : 
the process involves linking your
CanadA-born ancestor to yourself
by digging up a paper trail of
birth or wedding certificates,
proof of immigration or adoption,
etc. thanks to Canadian archive-
keeping traditions, this is possible
by reaching out to towns, 
parishes, national archives*...
Fourth frame shows old factory chimneys. Text reads :
between 1840 and 1930, 925 000
French-Canadians fled persecution
and economic oppression by
moving to the usa. today, their
descendants represent around ten
million people, or 3% of the U.s.
population. if it's time for you to
come back, we haven't forgotten
about you.

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

I give the first My Hero movie flowers for being something I saw without any of the show for context, and it still managed to both a) onboard me successfully, and b) get me emotionally invested in the characters and stakes.

Something that I noticed a lot in TF collecting is that people compulsively wrap their own opinions up with weird fixations on "who would want this?" or "how well could this sell?" or "will kids like this?" Trying to turn their own tastes and cost/benefit analysis into grand insights.
