In Look Before You Sleep, Rarity said "It is a ghost story. They're all made up."

And in Feeling Pinkie Keen, Twilight mentioned that ghosts don't exist, although she DID think the same of curses which were canonized in The Crystal Empire. (And some people do seem to think he was a ghost in shadow form, but that wouldn't explain how he returned to physical form)

The Discord thing was Season 8 time, and again, while some think Starlight killed him, the writers' words lean more towards what Starlight said about banishing him, and it being an astral projection he set as a ghost so the students would THINK Starlight killed him. Maybe. But even if he was an actual ghost there, again, he's Discord.

Also, they don't treat it like a Canadian-based show coz episodes air later here than in the US, and we don't get as much merchandise (besides cards and DVD's, and the obligatory toys of course) as America. Besides, John de Lancie's American and he still does Discord's voice. But they DO seem to want to avoid bringing the movie's big actors back, like with the obvious absence of Novo and Tempest.
