Should Canada Release It's "Royal Bond"?

What does it mean to be Canadian?
Come one, come all. Welcome back to the pod. Today we talk about titles, the genuine joy of fulfilling employment, and a pressing question of necessity when it comes to Canada's status as a Commonwealth country under the British monarchy.
There's been a petition initiated by a man in Abbotsford, brought to the House of Commons by the Conservative candidate for Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon. Let's talk about it, we have time. And there's an email? Refer here to the aforementioned petition and consider your own opinion. I trust myself, and I trust and value my peers' insight. What do you think?
The quote regarding Listening, Understanding, and Acting comes from a lecture on March 30th 2021 by Stó:lō Tribal Chief Tyrone McNeil through remote learning via Zoom, University of Victoria

Perfection Is Not The Goal

Baby we are back in a big way.
It's been a year! Literally. I hope it has been a good one for you. Your host Alexia has been caught up in the world in a whirlwind. It's been so long I barely know where to begin! So, without further ado, lets get into it. Today's episode is really more of a catch up, recorded in January of 2023. This one is to those who are personally invested. A book on the horizon? What was that?
The bottom line is, I've missed this, I've missed us, and despite the break in the show the world has continued to turn. Download this episode if you want to hear about what's been going on in my world, and check back next week to zoom out and take a bigger peak at the world at large.
As an aside, please forgive any potential janky audio. We are testing an upload in .wav format although the diva host is so out of practice it's already a botched trial because she recorded the whole episode in mono! Oopsies. Bare with me friends as we figure this out together.

There and Back Again

Hello dear friends and welcome back to the podcast!
It's been a year, hasn't it? Time flies when you have no other choice than to live each day out in a perpetual cycle embodying Sisyphus. How nice it is to be able to catch up like this amidst it all.
I know life has changed for me since I last hosted, and I'm sure it has for you too. So join me today for a chat as we consolidate what is going on, both internally and externally, the details and the bigger picture.
Towards the end of 2023, I spent some time traveling through the prairies and central Canada, seeing protests erupt in Montreal. Volunteering, Mark Fisher, long-distance relationships, avenues as alternatives to capitalism, and state-sanctioned violence are all on the agenda.
What role are you fulfilling for the state? And what is a state again, anyway?
I think it's due time for a refresher.
