Netflix Prices Are Going Up in Canada

Every month, Netflix drops an overwhelming load of new original content alongside its various licensed properties. Of course, the company is not just making it for free. As such, Netflix has announced that it’s jacking up prices in Canada.

As the CBC reports, new Netflix users will pay the higher price immediately, with a charge of $10.99 for a standard plan and $13.99 for a premium plan.

The difference, if you’ve never checked, is that the standard plan allows for single-screen viewing at standard definition, while premium users can view up to four screens simultaneously in crystal clear high-definition 4K. It’s the best way to catch up on Ozark, Terrace House, Girlboss and Friends from College all at once.

If you’ve already got a Netflix account, the price hike is still coming. Keep an eye out for an email notification warning you about the extra dollars you’re about to spend in the coming weeks.

“From time to time, Netflix plans and pricing are adjusted as we add more exclusive TV shows and movies, introduce new product features and improve the overall Netflix experience, to help members find something great to watch even faster,” the company said in a statement.

This is the first Canadian Netflix price hike in two years, and it couldn’t come at a better time. Recent reports suggest that the company is $20 billion USD in debt.

CFL announces Shania Twain to play halftime show at 105th Grey Cup

Country music superstar Shania Twain will headline the halftime show at the 105th Grey Cup Nov. 26 at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa, the CFL announced Thursday.

This will be the second time Twain has performed at the CFL’s annual championship game. The 51-year-old performed hits “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” and “Up!” at the 90th Grey Cup at Commonwealth Stadium back in 2002.

“It’s an absolute honour to return to the Grey Cup stage in the nation’s capital during Canada’s 150th birthday,” Twain said in a press release. “I’m thrilled to be coming home and being a part of the country’s biggest annual party.”

Twain is a five-time Grammy winner, 13-time Juno winner and has sold more than 90 million albums worldwide in her career.

Born in Windsor and raised in Timmins, Twain will be performing in her home province.

“Shania is a massive Canadian icon and a global superstar, so we are so excited that she will help us cap off such a significant year for our country at the 105th Grey Cup in Ottawa,” CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said. “This promises to be a fantastic event and a special performance for our fans and viewers across Canada and all around the world. I can’t wait to get the party started at my first Grey Cup as commissioner.”
