i think it was the joy of actually being
0:14
able to be with friends without a mask
0:15
in a backyard
0:17
to actually be with your friends
0:19
and being double vaxxed hanging out with
0:22
double double vaxxed people in a
0:23
backyard and having a barbecue and
0:26
actually going in the house with them
0:27
and not being freaked out so that would
0:30
be my favorite memory
0:34
i’d actually like this whole series here
0:36
at the gallery to be in a
0:38
time capsule that someone in 100 years
0:40
would find those drawings say oh my god
0:43
do you remember teresa’s reconciliation
0:45
this was just being talked about in
0:46
canada and now we’ve got all these
0:48
drawings and hopefully in a hundred
0:50
years it will just be such common fear
0:53
that people are experiencing the truth
0:54
and reconciliation day hopefully becomes
0:57
a national holiday for everybody
0:59
hopefully all canadians start getting
1:00
involved in first nations culture
1:02
somewhat and have a huge understanding
1:04
so that that would be my hope
1:12
so i remember and it used to happen here
1:15
at the ymca when i grew up here in
1:17
edmonton and they had for men you didn’t
1:20
have to wear anything it was nude
1:21
swimming
1:22
right and so anyway you’d go and have
1:24
neutral
1:25
and so vancouver when i lived there was
1:27
there’s situations like that right
1:29
so i moved back to alberta right for a
1:31
spell
1:33
i’m in ponoka alberta and i’m in the
1:35
swimming pool and i’m in the uh jacuzzi
1:38
and there’s a door and everything so i’m
1:40
just moved from vancouver right so this
1:43
is so embarrassing it’s a crazy towel so
1:45
here i am i have
1:47
nothing on and i’m sitting there it’s a
1:49
sauna of some sort and often this old
1:52
lady came in i was like oh my god
1:54
what do i do so it’s kind of like in the
1:56
fetal position in the corner of the
1:58
sauna kind of curled up and like how
2:00
long she’s going to be when she can
2:02
leave who else is going to come in here
2:03
i had no idea i thought it was men’s
2:05
only what am i doing help so whenever
2:07
she left
2:08
put on my trunks and got out of there
2:11
so that probably is one of the most
2:12
embarrassing things that has happened to
2:15
me so there you got it out of me
2:19
[Music]
2:23
you
