Sex Work is Work, Happily Ever After, Task Force Nyx & TikTok for Biz

The On Canada Project intentionally disrupts social conversations by bridging information gaps and using a compassionate tone that calls people into conversations, rather than calling people out. Over the next five months Samanta will be joining me to discuss some hard topics that bring in hard facts and data so that we can all have more informed opinions. In this episode we’re tackling the topic of sex workers. Jenny Pool is the owner of Happily Ever After Books, Canada’s first romance-exclusive bookstore. Of course we could all use some more love and romance in our lives so Jenny shares why this genre of literature is so important and how you can always get your fill from her online store or pop-ups. Anne Brodie is here with her Saturday Night at the Movies roundup which includes a look at The Princess on Crave that looks at the sad saga of Lady Diana Spencer’s entry and exit from The Royal Family, Emergency Declaration a anxiety inducing film which combines a deadly virus on board a plane that no one will let land, Five Days at Memorial on Apple TV+ looks at the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on a New Orleans Hospital, and the fun and lighthearted A League of Their Own is available now on Prime Video. Last year the world watched in horror as desperate Afghanistans tried to escape Taliban rule when US and NATO forces pulled out but Laura Deitz and Sara Gilliam sprung into action forming the NGO, Task Force Nyx to help. Task Force Nyx fights for the futures and freedoms of all Afghan women and girls by amplifying the voices of Afghan women’s rights leaders and providing emergency humanitarian support to the most at-risk activists and their families. Laura and Sara joins me to discuss. Ask any new parent what they want the most and they’ll likely reply with sleep. Astrid Loch and Kevin Wendt are no exception. Since appearing on the bachelor, the couple has put down roots in Toronto, got engaged, added two pups to their family and welcomed their first child Auggie in November of 2021. They join me today to discuss how they are all getting some much needed rest with the Owlet Baby Monitor. Finally, if you haven’t embraced TikTok for your small business marketing needs, what are you waiting for? Wave Wyld is a TikTok Marketing & Trends Expert. She has helped over 400 clients grow their TikTok accounts through consulting and courses with a community over virality approach and joins me today to share why you shouldn’t miss out on this powerful tool.
