Great to hear from New Yorkers today about famed BC Haida Artist Robert Davidson’s current show opening April 12th at the NYC National Museum of the American Indian.
Cheers to “earth teach me” & “joy is a well made object, equalled only to the joy of making it”….
Not as bad as it could be news for Vancouver based CBC employees in that there will be just nine local jobs lost in the current cuts announced yesterday.
“We’re celebrating 30 years of progressive shrinkage. We (used to do) regional dramas, don’t do that. Network dramas, don’t do that. Current affairs, don’t do that. On and on it goes”, according to the CBC’s Vancouver archivist.
Does the size of national cuts spell opportunity for Canada’s media world??….
Cheers to “soul-destroying” for the moment springboarding to new beginnings, new ways, new media for the future!…”With glowing hearts, we’ll see thee rise!…..”
Cheers to all things Canadiana!!!…

What is a Canadian? A Canadian is a fellow wearing English tweeds, a Hong Kong shirt and Spanish shoes, who sips Brazilian coffee sweetened with Philippine sugar from a Bavarian cup while nibbling Swiss cheese, sitting at a Danish desk over a Persian rug, after coming home in a German car from an Italian movie… and then writes his Member of Parliament with a Japanese ballpoint pen on French paper, demanding that he do something about foreigners taking away our Canadian jobs.

The beaver, which has come to represent Canada as the eagle does the United States and the lion Britain, is a flat-tailed, slow-witted, toothy rodent known to bite off it’s own testicles or to stand under its own falling trees.
