I Wrote the Prime Minister

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/10/29

My Mom taught me how to write a decent letter of complaint, so I wrote one to our Prime Minister, Mark Carney, who seems to have moved on from the impressive date-specific unaccomplished achievements he promised to Canadians just a few short months ago, in order to get elected. I gave him some suggestions and told him Canada needs a sales and marketing focus to increase foreign exports, not political speeches. We can already sell into non-US markets so why aren’t we doing that? I don’t expect a

Geoffrey Hinton has to stop doing these interviews where he is warning us about the dangers of his own invention.

I’m already designing a Canadian themed Sterling Silver trophy belt buckle for the 2026 Calgary Stampede, based around a Sugar Maple leaf from my own tree in the front yard. This silver masterwork will be packed with cultural and national symbolism.

Artists can be prickly, but we are brave. In this episode, I artsplain why the National Gallery of Canada and its new director, Jean-François Bélisle, need to get out of their offices and into Canadian communities to connect with artists on the ground. If only our national arts institutions would support Canadian artists instead of generating bold yet meaningless policy rhetoric.I marvel at how the recent National Gallery Annual Public Meeting, held on September 8th in Fredericton, has absolutely

Shooting Yourself in the Face - An American Business...

The USA has shot itself in the face. I have never seen brand destruction like this before. They are doing absolutely everything they can to drive away their friends and customers. We in Canada are buying Canadian and non-USA products. Customers around the world will soon avoid purchasing USA made products on principal alone, and this presents business opportunities for us outside America, if we can figure out how to trade with each other.TRIBE - Custom precious metal jewelry pieces for corporate

Diamond prices drop further, and Botswana, a country where 20% of their effective GDP comes from mining natural diamonds, is in deep trouble.

Diamond Prices Crashing – Canada’s Ekati Diamond Mine...

Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design ·

2025/07/23

Canadian diamonds were once a thing. Conflict-free and clean, but expensive to extract. They were diamonds you could feel good about buying, and that was their main selling proposition. People would pay more for them, knowing they weren’t contributing to wars and child labor. But that all ended once lab grown diamonds came onto the market. Diamond prices are crashing now, as we predicted, and it makes no sense to mine them in Canada anymore.Diamonds are now available for many more jewelry designers
