What’s up, y’all? Before diving in, the Power Up Community Radio Fundraiser ends late tomorrow — if you want to get a last minute donation in, please consider doing so; we have hit our goal, but would love to double it, especially since the economy stinks right now!

Anyways, tonight’s show is the 76th All Things Considered. This one makes the case for Saukrates — with 31 years of experience in bridging the gap between Canadian Hip Hop and its outside influences, navigating the frustrations of the major label system, and exploring ways to diversify the boundaries of the genre, he has quietly cemented himself as a foundational voice, and so, it’s time to get familiar if you ain’t already.

Tracklist:

Season One
Deeper Cover (Redman, Icarus, & Saukrates)
Keep It Movin (feat. Xzibit)
Let’s Go (Redman & Saukrates)

Budget 2025 and Your Retirement Planning

8 November 2025 Sunny Kochar Leave a comment

Does the annual Federal Budget leave you feeling anxious , wondering what the political noise actually means for your nest egg, your business, and your legacy?

You’re not alone. Many ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs feel that same stress , worrying if the government is suddenly going to rock the boat on their entire retirement plan. They feel overwhelmed by headlines, confused by the technical changes, and stuck wondering if their strategies for their home , their business , or their family trust are still effective.

Their “aha!” moment comes when they discover the “Hexavisionary Framework.” It’s a shift from reacting to political noise to gaining Empowerment Through Knowledge. They suddenly see the 2025 budget not as a threat, but as a story of stability , simplification , and major new opportunities—like the $1.25M business owner exemption. This clarity transforms their anxiety into confidence.

This is the bridge to total financial freedom. You don’t have to be a tax expert, but you do need to be aware of the landscape. Take the first step. Visit hexavision.ca to download our in-depth guides and ask the questions you need to ensure your plan is truly future-ready.

Time	Title	Album	Artist
0m00s	Theme for CKMS Community Connections ccc	CKMS Community Connections	Steve Todd
0m49s	Fame	(single)	Michael Bell
4m35s	Michael Bell gives some background of The Bowie Lives. True Bowie fans hate the idea of a Bowie impersonator, so Michael doesn’t pretend to be David Bowie; he’s a sound-alike. But the fans come around, even the hard-core fans. There’s a great band, and it’s challenging material, from folk tunes to industrial metal. Michael covers some of all the Bowie periods. It’s about celebrating the genius of Bowie.
11m20s	Michael introduces the band. The shows were booked a year ahead, so the band members can do their own gigs. The band is of a calibre that they don’t have to rehearse, maybe one paid rehearsal in the spring. If they’re adding a new song they can rehearse it during a sound check.
18m28s	Bob asks if the show on October 31^st is a Hallowe’en show. Michael says there’s no better show for Hallowe’en than a Bowie show, there are endless costumes people can wear. It’s the first time he’s playing a legion hall, but he’s fond of playing a small stage. Michael tells Bob of Bowie Fest at the Toronto club Ground Control.
25m02s	Michael calls the show “A Bowie Spectacular”. It’s an all-encompassing experience, bringing in the audience. It’s art. Michael saw David Bowie perform live when he was coming off the road in the 1980s when he was running an entertainment magazine, The Wire Megazine. It was a hardcopy magazine then (and still availble online today), and Michael was reviewing shows. He was able to get in the pit and photograph David Bowie. That show was opened by Nine Inch Nails and many younger people left after NIN, they weren’t familiar with David Bowie. In The Bowie Lives Michael performs some material that was popular in the UK, but not here. It’s a two-hour show, Michael needs to shave seconds off some songs in order to squeeze in another. It’s a set repertoire, so that the segues are smooth and the show is tight.
33m44s	Why The Bowie Lives, why not David Bowie Lives? Michael was inspired by an Elvis sign, “Elvis Lives” on someone’s rooftop. Bowie was a performer whose music will never die, proved by younger people who are now coming out to the shows. “The Bowie” is a state of mind. Some people pronounce it as “the lives of Bowie”, which Michael thinks works too. Bob thought there might have been intellectual property rights over the name. No-one has challenged them about the use of David Bowie’s name and stage presence. Elvis impersonators have had copyright issues, but The Bowie Lives is flying under the radar.
42m43s	Is there a The Bowie Lives album in the works? No, but Michael has considered releasing a DVD of a performance. Michael doesn’t think there’ll be an album.
43m40s	Heroes	(single)	Michael Bell
47m47s	Heroes	Heroes	David Bowie
48m17s	Bob is impressed by Michael’s accurate rendition of Heroes. Michael says that was recorded during the Covid shutdown. He talks about the devastating effects of the Covid shutdown on performance musicians — session and studio musicians weren’t as badly affected. Music is Michael’s full-time job, although he does some other work such as consulting on festivals, and writing for his magazine.
51m15s	Bob asks about Michael’s political career. Michael was a federal Green Party candidate, and is very involved in his community. Happily, most Bowie fans lean in the same political direction as Michael. But that’s not necessarily the case for other shows that he works on. Bob and Michael talk international politics for a while.
55m20s	Michael recaps the details for the show on 31 October 2025 in Cambridge, and Bob gives the end credits.
