Oh good grief, Prime is getting seasons 1-15 of ER on July 30. I have not seen any of it, looks like I will have lots to watch over summer.

I noticed that even though Hulu is showing the miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers with Nicole Kidman, Amazon has the rights to the rest of the world.

• In terms of production, Amazon is excited by MGM’s slate and doesn’t anticipate changes in release dates or on projects that are in progress.
• Amazon is not planning to make all MGM content exclusive to Prime Video.

From the creators of A Very English Scandal, A Very British Scandal focuses on the divorce of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, one of the most notorious, extraordinary and brutal legal cases of the 20th Century.

There is a preview page on Amazon Prime Canada (above link) but I am not certain that means the series will be available there.

When season 2 was announced for Prime, it included Canada (see link below) Unfortunately season 1, which is excellent, has only been available for streaming on OutTV in Canada. CBC aired it, but does not have streaming rights for CBC Gem.

E-mail from Amazon this afternoon:

Dear Prime Member,

Thank you for being a valued member of Amazon Prime. We are writing to you about an upcoming change to your membership.

As of April 8, 2022, the price of the annual Prime membership has increased from $39 to $49, plus applicable taxes. The new price will apply to your renewal on XXX, 2022.

This is the first price increase since we launched Prime in Canada in 2013 and since then we have continued to invest in making Prime even more valuable for our members. In the last few years, Amazon has added more product selection available with fast, free, unlimited Prime shipping; and earlier this year we began offering free One-Day Delivery for millions of items with no minimum purchase to most cities and towns across Canada. In addition to new selection and faster delivery, Prime Video has tripled the number of Amazon Original series and movies in the past few years, including Amazon Original series like The Boys, Reacher, and, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Later this year, Amazon will debut the Canadian Amazon Original series, The Kids in the Hall, and in September, will release the highly anticipated The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

No further action is required. You may manage your Prime membership anytime by visiting Your Account.

Sincerely,
Your Prime Team

That doesn't sound right. The annual prime membership in Canada was $79.00. The new price is $99.00. After hearing about the increase in the US I purchased an annual membership to get ahead of the Canadian announcement.

 

[David1953]

Honestly, I’m not surprised, and I received a similar email, but my email indicated a price increase from $79 to $99. Are you a student by any chance, hence the lower rates quoted in your email?

The rates went up in the USA a few months back, so it was more or less inevitable that they would be raised in Canada as well. I lucked out a little, since my annual membership renewed in February, so I won’t actually see the increase until next February.

 

[pinto]

$139 USD in the States.. I'll take the CAD rate thanks...

 

[Smokin Joe]

I got the same email and will most likely cancel this summer and go in with someone else or not bother altogether as I really don’t watch anything on prime

I bought Amazon Prime for the free shipping, the Prime video is a bonus for me.
Luckily my membership was renewed in February.

 

[ExDilbert]

I just got the email as well. There are 14 tracking graphic elements in the email.

 

[gzink]

I went to annual mainly for free shipping but there are a couple of series I enjoy. Most is junk in my opinion.
Anyway any increase in the next little while will lead to cancel on my part. I will then get a month and view and order and cancel.

Amazon Orders Series Based on Real-Life Maple Syrup Heist – The Hollywood Reporter

Amazon’s Prime Video announced a new comedy series inspired by a real-life maple syrup heist.

Titled The Sticky, the project is being produced through the company’s Canadian originals division and is based on a 2011 robbery of more than $18 million Canadian dollars of Quebec’s national maple syrup reserves (which represent more than 70 percent of the global maple syrup supply).

It was just a couple of weeks ago that the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that one of the men [Richard Vallières] behind the notorious maple syrup heist in Quebec will have to pay a $9.1-million fine.

Vallières has 10 years to pay the fine, failing which he will serve an additional six years in prison. He is currently serving an eight-year sentence.

Good luck collecting on that.

Fantastic, have been wanting to see it for so long, I was tempted to buy the dvd. I've been wondering what to watch this weekend, now I know.
Thanks for the tip.
