I was at the largest Christmas craft show in our local area and saw the Janet Stark Hand Made Coats booth. Her coats blew my mind! The colors! The impeccable stitching! The Canadian themes! The next level wool upscaling! Excellent Canadian design! Janet sells via her facebook page here:https://www.facebook.com/JanetsArtisanCoats There seems to be a design or software flaw in the Nikon Z8 that prevents live video from being displayed on an external monitor with an HDMI cable. This is a serious problem for anyone who wants to use the Z8 to record professional quality video. Nikon’s marketing for the Z8 really sells the video potential of the camera but Nikon needs to address this critical flaw right away. Fix it.

I think much of the recent turmoil in the US political system and the re-election of Trump is a result of the collapse of Hollywood and its myth building and storytelling capacity. Hollywood was a factory that inspired patriotism with national stories and symbols. It projected the appearance of US dominance to the world. It was cultural industry that plastered American flags throughout, even though many of the movies were actually filmed in Canada. Canada needs to use our own truly excellent national symbols and capacity to enhance our culture and unite us as a country. Canada must start investing in our art and culture to grow national pride.

My two week effort to drive the red squirrel out of the attic has failed. I've tried blasting club tracks at him through JBL loudspeakers and peppermint oil spray. Harry thinks it's Ibiza. Also, don't take the weed you buy at your dispensary for granted - a lot went into that bud you are breaking up with your fingers. Think of the farmers who grew it this Croptober.

Can't sleep? It's politics. I don't want to talk about politics on this podcast but here I am at 3am, high on edibles that were supposed to help me sleep. The US election? Trudeau accusing the government of India of murdering Canadians on Canadian soil? Do we believe him or not? Canadian media has now become 'state media' because what remains of MSM in Canada is government funded. Who should we trust now for our news in Canada?The war in the middle east seems to be spiraling out of control. News will come to you, eventually, on whatever device you use. How do you deal with it? I seek it out from different sources for news, now primarily non-Canadian. I have a basket of news sources I use to develop a world view. You might think it veers left or right, depending. Make your own! But make sure your sources are truly mixed for the broadest but deepest multifaceted view of the world. Also, avoid marmot videos on Reels or TkTok. It's a trap. They are not showing you the dark side: the marmot bites that will require hundreds of thousands of dollars in remedial cosmetic surgery. This episode is all over the place. It's hard to make art when the world seems like it is going to blow up, isn't it? We'll be back with a better planned episode next week :) Notes! My MSM news sources not in any order: BBC World Service, France24, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Yediot, Jpost, Haaretz, CNBC, CNN, CBCnews, Globe and Mail, National Post. These days it seems to be advisable to get news about Canada from outside of Canada because MSM media in Canada is now state funded and/or state controlled, or it's really hard to tell. The best podcasts to listen to about the US election are political operative pods like Hacks on Tap because you get to see how the political sausage gets made.

My visit to the Gananoque Art Fest! I talk about the news that Tokyo Smoke, one of Canada's largest and most glitzy participants in Canada's legal cannabis sector, is going under as the sector matures.

Your local art store is different than a chain art store. A local art store is a community building hub that supports local artists. Maybe it provides a gallery wall, tips and suggestions, or a place to meet other artists in real life. I talk about the excellent Medium Effort art store in Brockville Ontario, and the Above Ground art supply store in Toronto in this episode. TRIBE is a custom jewelry designer.
