    I think this might be one of the best trolls from LWT certainly in a long time, if not ever.

      I went hunting for a Canadian one, but Crave (Bell Canada's subscription streaming service) appears to be the only official way to watch it here online... So I wound up just using my US VPN to view the submitted link.

      This is from Season 8, Episode 13 on May 23, so there arrr! other ways besides a VPN to watch it though.

          One option is to search for 'youtube video download' and to click through a few of the results until you wind up on a site that works for you. I guess you can then bookmark it.

          Most of them seem to be based on youtube-dl anyway but more often than not they're US-hosted so whatever tool they're using winds up grabbing the video fine before giving you a download link.

          Region locking sucks.
