As "The Dealer of Perspectives," I look for determined, committed Canadians of GRIT... people like YOU, YOUR FAMILY, and YOUR FRIENDS.
From all walks of life.
From the past and present.
Come along. Forge new perspectives on old problems and outdated perspectives. Roll up your sleeves, and jump into this interactive, fun, and multimedia beast I've been building to help Canadians engage and HOLISTICALLY BENEFIT from the historic transition taking place around the world… right now… during *our lifetime.*
This isn't just my voice-- it's me using my skills to create a DEMOCRATIC platform to engage with PEOPLE LIKE YOU, as we work together to find the best pathways forward for our local communities in Canada.
This is a show for everyone. For all of humanity. It's about courage, and it couldn't come at a better time.
This is our moment in History... thank YOU for choosing to spend it with ME and CANADA.
All you need is a little imagination.
See you soon.
