I enjoy following women, First Nations, LGBTQ & other voices here because these are not my voices and I enjoy learning from them. Thank you, folks. Would love to meet you all for a beer or a coffee.

A colorful poster for "The Frightenstein Frightmare," featuring a collage of various monster and character faces, including a prominent green-faced figure with fangs, a werewolf, a Frankenstein-like figure, a superhero, and other eerie and whimsical characters, with the title in bold yellow and red text at the bottom.

It was one of the most psychedelic, bizarre and beloved Canadian children's shows ever made.

* "Unruly Suburban Whisky" from Wayward Distillery in Courtenay
More suggestions, please.
