What do you do when your mentor starts giving you really bad advice on things they know nothing about? You dump them, that's what you do! I describe how pissed I am at Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway for using their huge podcast audience to try to influence the Canadian election, from the USA!
I describe my history as Kara’s biggest Canadian podcast fan, and how I’ve been a supporter of their shows since day one, giving them lif...
It's 420 AND Easter Sunday, so if you are at a wonderful but boring family gathering and you need a break, you can step outside to listen to this podcast, if you know what I 'm sayin'...
Happy 420 from alexd and Happy the rabbit in Upper Canada!

We are in the last two weeks of a federal election in Canada and it 's very close, if you believe the polls. Each candidate has their own ideas about what to do with the CBC. Carney wants to lavish the state broadcaster with billions in tax money and I'll explain why. Poilievre want's to pull their tax funding and let them fend for themselves to compete with other media entities around the world.
I offer a third idea: le...
As America collapses and Canada suffers through a foreign-influenced election, I talk about how I'll deal with American tourists, if they come across the Canadian border this year. I will be respectful, but should I feel sympathy or pity for them?
I get into the benefits of signing up for a class or workshop in your community to learn a new art skill, and how to convince yourself to go. There are so many almost free classes you ...
The world comes to grip with the collapse of America and realizes the way forward is to leave the United States behind. Water flows around or over obstructions and this is happening now.
I talk about the strange media and polling space in Canada where a full third of our journalists work for the state broadcaster, while the other two thirds of Canadian 'journalists' are state funded with wage supports.

Canada is deep into a very consequential election. I give you a sense of the vibe here in Canada. I explain how I am voting and why, but also advise never to tell people how you are voting and why.
I talk about how cannabis itself has changed since legalization in Canada. Cannabis has changed its shape, taste and strength to fit into Canada’s legal economic framework. I describe how cannabis has become less of an organic plant p...
The orange psycho hillbilly says the Canadian people are nasty. He has no idea.
After only 50 days of an insane president, the United States is in a deep constitutional crisis and its democracy is unraveling. The president has driven away ALL America's friends in the world, yet strangely, most Americans are completely unaware this has happened.
I talk about what the orange psychotic hillbilly’s master plans are with his tariffs and ...
New polls show that a huge grassroots movement of shoppers has emerged in Canada who are not buying American made products. We are carefully looking at our labels and choosing to vote with our wallets to buy Canadian manufactured products or the products of any other country except the United States.
It's not only the products, we've stopped buying America as an idea, and our thinking has now spread to Europe.
America might ...
The high gold price is is flattening the jewelry trade in Canada as gold jewelry becomes too expensive to buy. De Beers is looking to cleave off their natural diamond business but who will buy it? The new United States continues to reveal itself to the world, and it's an ugly sight to see.

The fat lips, the fillers, the hair that looks like you stuck your finger in a socket, it's the new American esthetic.

For the Washington men, the suit color has changed from dark gray to flag blue and it's only a matter of time before they start wearing stars & stripes top hats as they fan out across the globe to demand protection payments from weaker, sovereign nations.

I warned you European listeners about what was coming! We must band together to stand up against the USA for our countries and our economies, for our survival (and thrival!). We must remove trade barriers between Canada and Europe, between European countries, between Asia and Canada. We must grow around and away from the United States or they will take us all down with them.
Also, I talk about the amazing photographic work of Ju...
If you are feeling like you have experienced this unsettled time before, you have! Mad kings are an archetype. I talk about the mad kings who have appeared throughout human history to cause havoc and how they met their unfortunate ends. I also check to see if any art at all gets produced during the reign of insane kings and if that art still exists today.

This is a warning to artists, designers, creatives and makers all over the world. You've probably seen what the US President has done to Canada and Mexico over the last few weeks, ripping up the very free trade agreement he renegotiated and signed with our two countries. He attacked Canada economically. He declared war, a kind of economic terrorism. He insulted Canada and Canadians and continues to do this daily. He disrespects...
Clear pesky evil spirits from your studio with these secret tricks. And, art doesn't have to be permanent, just ask snowmen!

Respect is hard to earn but is so easily lost. Snoop, internationally recognized cannabis ambassador, musician, and self-acknowledged hater of Donald Trump, the dude who called anyone who performed at the first inauguration for Trump an "Uncle Tom" (and worse!), gets down on both knees to gig at this year's inauguration. No, not on the main stage, they didn’t put ...
The giant orange anvil hanging over the world is set to drop on Monday and everyone is feeling it already, especially us artists who feel everything. I talk about the excellent work of Gary Bunt, who made me cry, in a good kind of way.
Check out the terrific paintings of Gary Bunt:

You are alone in a tiny 2-door Opel Corsa Lite hatchback on a dirt road in Africa. There is no cell service. A huge bull elephant is charging toward you with black crap coming out of its eyes. Also, Zuck evokes the onion-chomping Balkan Breakfast dude for his new personal style.

Our Prime Minister has run away from his responsibility and is hiding out until January 27 to “reflect on his own future as leader” as the Trump 25% tariff freight train hits Canada on January 20. The Trudeau finance minister dropped a scathing resignation letter blaming him for the financial issues facing Canada and for misleading Canadians, on the day she was supposed to table and read the budget, throwing Trudeau’s government in...
