MAX TO THE MAX! I’m playing Max tracks every week in tribute to Trish! After hostin’ (with the mostin’) The Brew for the past 6 years, she has stepped down from the role. She’s my BRFF (Best Radio Friend Forever) and I miss her greatly. Luckily, Webster is there to help us through all those darned emotions. |

From Tariq: "I am a Brown man. I was born in Ottawa. I've lived here my whole life. I know racism. What I do not know is what it's like to live with a constant target on my back. I do not know what it's like to be systemically brutalized by the structures in place that are purported to be there for my protection. I do not know what it's like to feel fear walking down a sidewalk or buying a carton of milk. I know racism. My family know racism. Our origins show the deep scars of colonialism. We have lived with racism in Canada our whole lives. We have lived with it in our travels. But this is not the same thing. This is genocide. An entire culture has had to bear the weight of its own destruction for hundreds of years. I would not presume to understand how that feels. So I wrote this tune as an observer. I wrote it after spending too many hours watching and reading the news. I've never written something so quickly nor have I ever felt such an urgency to share my own work. Songwriters write about what they see and hear and I like to take my time when it comes to words. But things are moving too quickly to process and I had to get this out of me now. I wanted to express it while it was still raw." |
| The BLM protest this past Friday in Ottawa was a beautiful, peaceful showing of solidarity and love for the Black Community.
There was no riot. There was no violence. There was only peaceful protest, like the overwhelming majority of gatherings across North America, and the world. There was some trouble in Montreal. But according to the proprietor of Steve's Music, " 'They're guitars, not human lives': Montreal merchant says getting looted was worth it to fight racism." https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/they-re-guitars-not-human-lives-montreal-merchant-says-getting-looted-was-worth-it-to-fight-racism-1.4966339 While a small minority of agitators may use a situation to their own advantage, these people should NEVER be equated with peaceful protesters. This is a moment of change. Remember to focus on the positive message, and continue to advocate for the end of bigotry. |
