I hate the anericanization of everything

Carley Fortune is a Canadian author. Her first book to movie adaptation is coming out very shortly. Why do they have to americanize everything? Its originally set in Toronto/Ontario, but the changed it to the Seattle area as seen in the trailer. Can Canadians not get anything. So many movies and tv shows lose out on these amazing possibilities of being true canadian work when they give in to making everything "based in America". Reminds me of that one Christmas movie that was filmed in calgary, but they just had to put american flags everywhere, because merica.

Our neighbor a few doors down (townhouse so very close to each other) has been harassing us for months. It started when we declined his offer to watching our cats while we were gone. He would watch us before but after that it became obsessive. He doesnt work so hes at home all day and so am i with my kids as im a full time student and stay at home mom.

At the beginning of march another neighbor who has been nothing but rude to us when she moved in made multiple false police calls against us. Police proved they were false. We didnt know right away it was her so i confronted the other neighbor telling him to leave us alone. When the police came back because the woman neighbor called lying saying i was threatening him, i told the police i absolutely didnt and have the interaction on camera as i record interactions that may go south for my protection. I told the police to make it very clear to him to leave us alone, also recorded. Once they left i was walking back inside with my husband when he came outside threatening us saying he was going to get us kicked out of our house and hurt us. So directly not follwoing what the police just told him to leave us alone. I called our landlord that same day to inform him of the situation at hand and asked if they had other units available.

A few weeks go by and the guy and the woman reported us to the landlord days apart. Lying saying we were harassing them (we have not been and we dont interact with our neighbors and dont wish too) and claiming we had made many false police calls against them. (We have not made any police calls against them at that point). The landlord came to our house while i was out of town and we chatted over the phone after and they said i can make my own report over email. I explained the situation with both of them, more details then ive shared here, and we havent heard from our landlord since.

I made a call to the police the next day asking for notice of harassment on both of them making false police reports, threatening us, making false reports to the landlord and trespassing on our property and since neither of them have stopped harasing us since the first time the police told him too stop, i said this is an on going situation. I got this for the records now to show its an ongoing situation.

Thankfully no direct verbal imteractions have happened. But a few days ago i noticed he has a camera pointing directly at our house. Its hidden under the stairs and i only saw it because i was outside late and saw the red lights from the camera. Something that has been happening is any time we arrive home or walk outside, he immediately follows a couple minutes after. He will sit on his steps directly staring at us for multiple minutes and then head back inside. What rights fo i have here, i assume none as it doesnt fall within reasonable privacy. But with his history of being asked to leave us alone and threatening me, i assume there may be more that we can do possibly?

Im deeply troubled by his actions as they have gotten creepier and creepier as time goes on. And with me being a stay at home mom with young kids and pregnant i dont feel very safe. We have looked at moving and will hopefully be after our baby is born. But thats a few months away from now.
