It’s easy to be an ally when things are sunny. But if your brand only shows up when it’s convenient, you were never really with us. This is about more than logos. It’s about values.

It’s okay to feel let down by this country. But calling it broken helps no one — least of all the people still trying to fix it.

Thinking of moving to Canada? Let me help you decode the wild world of Canadianisms—because trust me, “yeah, no” doesn’t mean what you think it means. In this video, I’ll explain a sentence so Canadian it might as well come with a double-double and a hockey fight. From “chirping” to “skookum,” learn how to talk like a true Canuck without embarrassing yourself at the rink.

I grew up with The Littlest Hobo—a show every Canadian over 35 remembers. No big budget, no explosions—just relentless decency. In this video, I explore how this simple show about a dog became a blueprint for Canadian values: humility, kindness, and quiet strength.

Donald Trump keeps calling Canada’s military weak. I’m here to set the record straight—with the story of how Canadian troops liberated the Netherlands in WWII, and earned a nation’s eternal gratitude. From Princess Margriet’s birth on Canadian soil to the tulips blooming in Ottawa, this isn’t just history—it’s proof that strength isn’t measured by volume, but by values.

I’m tired of pretending strategic voting is normal. In this video, I break down how vote splitting under first-past-the-post keeps wrecking elections—especially in Canada—and why picking the “lesser evil” candidate isn’t democracy. I explain how ranked choice voting, approval voting, and other reforms can stop this madness and finally let us vote for what we believe in without handing power to the party we hate.
Journalists have opinions and leanings. Bias is not betrayal. Pretending otherwise only fuels polarization. And makes you look dumb.

Sometimes, silence changes everything. This video explores two Canadian protests that used quiet, not chaos, to challenge power. From a lone Senate page with a stop sign to a Cree politician who said "No" with an eagle feather, we examine how stillness can shake institutions—and what Americans might learn from it.
