I don’t want to hold the actions of the orange rapist against American artists who mostly all hate him anyway and deserve better, but let’s promote our own first.

I’m old(er), and living near the border allowed for access to some great children’s programming back in the day.
Mr Dressup and Friendly Giant in particular. (side note, if you have access, check out the excellent documentary about Mr Dressup on Prime).

As for music, again, being near the border, with one of the best alternative radio stations in the 90s (89-X), I was turned on to many excellent artists. To name a few…
24 Gone
The Tragically Hip
The Pursuit of Happiness
Bootsauce
Odds
Amanda Marshall
Moist
The Grapes of Wrath
and so many more. Most of these bands could still easily edge out anything new on the radio today.

Absolutely like The Cowboy Junkies (standout tracks for me are Common Disaster and Fuck I Hate The Cold,) and Rheostatics (standout track for me is Bad Time to Be Poor.)

Moist… There’s a band I haven’t played in a while.
