Canadian Grit: North of Ordinary
šļøReal Stories. Real History. Real People.
Shaping what I am calling the current
Canadian Renaissanceā the grassroots creation of a curious, awakening, and holistically informed Canada 2.0. šØš¦
You and me. Together.
With msome amazing characters and brand new friends from all eras, domains, and walks of life. From the past and nowā forging new perspectives *together,* and shaping what I see as meaningful historic transition taking place⦠right now⦠during *our lifetime.*
Itās the Canadian Renaissance that Iām witnessing and chronicling, shared through our lenses of our evolving national identity and what Canada is meant to become in the 21st century and beyond.
I present thoughtful, novel, and critical considerations diverse perspectives about how we best move forward in these often difficult, fragmented, and dehumanized times by looking at our whole list of human experiences of our minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions.
This is a show for everyone, or anything (most certainly of the feline variety! šāā¬).
If youāre like me, youāre already a passionate explorer and what I call a āPostmodern Elder in thy hybrid realityā⦠awakening at a time of toxic and normalized fragmentation and dissociation (Gabor MatĆ©, 2022).
Come unweave our myth of normal, and create something based on courage and love instead.
Interested in getting to learn more about our world in the ongoing, and exponentially growing digital-industrial revolution in the postmodern, globalized context?
I offer honesty, humour, directness, authenticity, depth, breadth, and democratic voice to Canadians like you and me.
I am a dealer of perspectives⦠throwing metaphorical (hopefully) spaghetti at the wall for fun; just to see what sticksā often to draw attention to the status quo for exposure, and to shake, rattle, and roll what so many of us call 'normal,' and to ask why we've normalized it.
I bring you books, literature, research, popular culture, shows, movies, and MUSIC through the lens of our evolving national identity by presenting and thoughtfully considering novel, critical, and diverse perspectives about how we may best move forward in these often difficult, fragmented, and dehumanized times⦠by looking in our own rear view mirror from time to time.
This podcast is a show for everyone who likes anything, and is interested in getting to learn more about our world in the ongoing, and exponentially growing digital-industrial revolution in the postmodern, globalized context.
š“āā ļøHop aboard, Mateys. The ship is nigh ready to shove off toward New Found Lands.
Leave yer bags behind, as treasures unknown to all of history await.. just for us to explore together⦠and what weāll find we will bring back to share with others what we discover through time aboard our custom, 100% after-market, Canadian-built, eco-friendly āCanadian Friend Shipā Iāve built just for you, the Canadian Grit VIPs who all this is for. š“āā ļøā¤ļø
All you need is a little imagination.
