Turning Anger at america into Art

Our government has finally struck back against the american regime for their stupid tariffs, except not until Sept 8. Gym bros in Canada will be hit particularly hard with 50% duty on whey protein and gym equipment. It is all so stupid. In this episode I talk about what I'll do as a designer now that my export market to the USA has shut for our precious metals jewelry products. A product design came to me that incorporates my anger at the USA so I am making a prototype now. It incorporates Canadian aluminum, Canadian design, and Canadian anger into beautiful organic-shaped hefty key fob aimed at Canadian, US, and Asian customers. Also, how the small animals on the property are reminding me to prepare now for winter.
