The video piece compares Fake London (Ontario) to Utrecht and I find it pretty painful. I’ve lived near both and visited both about as often and the comparison just hurts.
Sadly, we are going the wrong way in Ontario

Huh. That’s apparently from a newspaper from my hometown. Although I didn’t realize it was ever called the Wichita Daily Times. Sadly, its modern descendent is now an online only “newspaper”.

There is a small village in the north of Belgium. Doel is its name, and at first glance it is a town like any other: it has a church, a cemetery, a historic windmill - and a nuclear power plant right next to it. But in fact, Doel is anything but normal: Doel is a ghost town. Most of the houses are run down and abandoned - and almost nobody lives here anymore. How did that happen?
