Video highlights, analysis, and the driving questions from Winnipeg's fight for 2nd in the West  — it's GameDay After Dark

Today on the Artalogue, Canadian artist Simon Hughes chats with Madison Beale from his Winnipeg studio about his creative beginnings, Canadian art and his career. This episode is all about finding your artistic voice in unexpected places.Hughes reveals how he developed his unique approach that treats watercolors, drawings and canvas paintings as equal  expressions, not relegating drawings to mere preparatory sketches. His technique of building translucent layers of color, inspired by Paul Klee, creates a distinctive visual depth that characterizes his work. From his early fascination with Hieronymus Bosch and Surrealism to his later dialogue with Canadian art history, Hughes traces the evolution of his artistic vision with refreshing candor.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Hughes discusses his unexpected path from graduating from the University of Manitoba to working in film production between art projects, waiting eleven years before pursuing his MFA in California, and discovering surprising similarities between Winnipeg's and Southern California's art scenes. His recent exhibition "Fire, Flood and All the Feelings" at Blouin Division showcases his ability to blend contemporary suburban landscapes with spiritual elements, creating a modern counterpoint to Lawren Harris's iconic Canadian wilderness paintings.What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Hughes' practical wisdom about navigating an art career. Rather than waiting for institutional recognition, he emphasizes creating your own opportunities through community engagement and persistent creation. "Wherever you are, that's the place to be," he advises, offering a refreshing perspective on building an authentic artistic life regardless of location or circumstances.Follow Simon's work at his studio gallery space Fire Door in Winnipeg or on Instagram @simonmhughes to discover more about his artistic journey.

This is part of a series on Billionaire Pedophiles. Robert MillerCanadian Billionaire Robert Miller was a cross between Peter Nygard and Jeffrey Epstein. Like Epstein he knew both Les Wexner and the Bronfman crime family. Robert Miller is a wealthy pedophile, he amassed billions of dollar with his company Future Electronics which was sold last year to Taiwan for 3.8Bn. Whet exactly did he do? This disgusting predator arranged to have threesomes with high school girls or younger. His first victim starting 1982 was just 11 years old. Robert always had unprotected sex. His system evolved over time. At first he would pay a pimp, Raymond Poulet to act as his middle man and recruit young girls. They would bring them to a hotel usually the Intercontinental Hotel a luxury hotel in Montreal, or the Queen Elizabeth hotel. Once at the hotel they would be wine and dined then Poulet would pass them off to Miller who was only known to the girls as Bob. Also working for Miller via Future Electronics, was Sam Joseph Abrams. Sam Abrams was a kind of extra-curricular activities secretary and thus worked closely with Poulet. The girls only knew him as Joseph. A nother man actig in this role was Helmut Lippmann, who like Abrams, was labeled a Vice President at Future Electronics.Miller would instruct them to take a bath, usually he would undress and join them washing them himself and engaging in foreplay. From there he would move things into the bed room where he had unprotected sex and or used sex toys. Whenever possible there would be two girls. Similar to Epstein he paid his victims albeit a much higher rate of 1500 Canadian. If they pulled out before sex he might give them $700. The craziest thing is no one told the hotel staff or police. Or if they did it never went anywhere. Three individuals are most responsible for eventually bringing down Miller's network. John Weslake a former cop turned P.I. Donna Loupret the director of security at the Intercontinental Hotel and Robert's Miller's Ex-Wife. It was his Ex-Wife who first tipped off Westlake. Donna Loupret noticed the odd behavior of Robert Miller. He always rented the same room on the 25th floor, room 2520. He had it renovated on his own dime. He demanded they install a large tub in the bathroom and they did. It was called the F**k-Tub. He would only come in the day and never stay the night. Also the hotel was just a 15 minute drive from where he lived. Then there were the girls who looked about 14 to 16 year old that were always in and out of his room. Now they didn't enter with him or leave with him, but they were going to the 25th floor, always while he was there. He targeted small girls with dark hair.Increasingly, Miller would rely less on the pimp and more on gettnig the girls to recruit other girls and like Epstein he offered them a bonus to do so. I am happy to report that Raymond Poulet was arrested July 2025. After Donna questioned Miller once on the phone, Miller moved his operations into a more controlled environment. He bought two houses across the street from one another. His own home where he lived he purchased from Charles Bronfman the co-founder of Birthright Israel and chairman of the UJC and co-chair of Seagrams Liquor which got its start via organized crime selling alcohol labeled as “medicine” to get around prohibition laws. He and his brother made a tender offer via Seagrams, to Saint Joe's Mineral corporation. “Court papers identified the three Panamanian corporations as Transatlantic Financial Company S.A., Nayarit Investments S.A. and Finvest Panama. They were named by the bank as having purchased 1,055 stock options in St. Joe on March 10, a day before the Seagram bid for the company. The bank also named Finvest Geneva as having purchased 3,000 shares of St. Joe the day of the merger announcement. The S.E.C. said that Mr. Tome had placed both orders through the Swiss bank.” Also capitalizing on insider trading was Warren Eisenstein who was give a loan to buy the stock by his childhood friend, then working at Bear Sterns, Jeffrey Epstein.Charles Bronfman's neices Clare and Sara pumped in $100,000, 000 in to a sex cult run by Keith Raniere. It was so debaucherous that thye were branding women the way one brands a cow witha hot poker. And of course the Bronfman's are hardore Zionists and helped finance other close associates of Epstein like Ehud Barak. This is a constant thing with these people. More on Epstein hereFormer cop, John Westlake and his partner set up surveillance via a stake out, on Robert Miller and were shocked by what they saw. For 21 days, they observed a parade of young girls going in and out of the house at 380 Olivier Ave. in Westmount, often exiting with hockey bags.What was going on? Well Miller would have the girls brought usually by taxi to house that he had prepared. In the basement the would be clothing from Victoria Secret, CDs Jewlery and other goodies a young girl might fancy. They were allowed to fill up one hockey bag full of products as much as they could carry. Upstaires they would be given a bath and sometimes told to shave. After sex or being assaulted with sex toys, the girls would be given an evelope with $1500 to $4000. Miller had them color coded with little stamps, Gold, Orange, Purple, that colorlated with the money inside. A judge ordered these a pretrial seizure of these two houses from Miller in November of 2024.Westlake and his partner were approached by Miller's goons. Working for “National Criminal Investigation Service” which was just a Miller security company, Terence Corcoran and an ex-police officer named Stephen Roberts approached Westlake asking him to tell them what he knew. Next they tried to buy him off, offering $300k to give them what he had and to back off the case. With Helmut Lippmann, Sam Joseph Abrams, Raymond Poulet, Stephen Roberts, and Terence Corcoran all working and covering up for Robert Miller what we have here is a conspiracy.Think about this. A billionaire after createing a custom renovated hotel room, purchased homes and used employees including an ex-cop and a pimp, to target teenagers and adolesants for sexual exploitation. All these men acted together for years, over a decade, to systematically target girls for child prostitution.There was no blackmail. There was no spying. These were just sick f***s who did this because this is what these people are into. Rather than taking the brine Westlake went to the police. But it was Radio Canada not the cops that uncovered that Miller posed as an American businessman named “Bob Adams” who just fequently visited Montreal. It took pressure form the media to get any movement on this case. The police would raide Future Electronics and had a warrant (which is sealed) to target NCIS, National Criminal Investigation Service, which had its office on the Future Electronics property. How much bigger was this operation really? We probably are not going to ever know. Miller now 83 has Parkingson's disease. I hate to cheer for parkinson's disease but at least that serves as SOME type of punishment for for serial raping little kids for decades. Like Nygard, his punishment comes only at the end with Miller in his 80s, after engaging in a lifetime of rape.There is a class action lawsuit with 50 plantiffs and other lawsuits again Miller and his co-conspirators. Smoe have been tossed because Miller is too sick(rich) to endure them. But how does this happen? how in the world would hotel employees not pick up on what was going on immediately? Why were the police so slow to act? It is quite similar to what Nygard was doing in Winnipeg around the same time.We will be going over that case and more in this series on Billionaire Pedophiles. I want to stress this that what Epstein was doing was entering a pre-existing nexus of rich perverts. He did not groom or create the Johns. He provided for a market that already had an large appitite for child abuse and prostitution. This is a cultural problem. Of course people use blackmail and bribery. In this climate where women and men (as you will see in the Mike Jefferies case) are seen commercial sex products, it is easy. Consider signing up it is only $6 and some of these will be paywalled. It is not something I want to do to but I have to. If you are in media and want to do an interview on Miller, Epstein or any of these subjects, contact me through substack. This is a public episode.

The Argos dropped the second half of their home-and-home with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, falling 40–31 in a game marked by brutal early mistakes and a missed opportunity to complete the comeback. Ben Grant breaks down a game that started with one of the worst halves in recent Argos history, as Toronto gave up three non-offensive touchdowns - a pair on special teams and one on a sack-fumble return. The offensive line struggled under relentless pressure, the run game was abandoned early (finishing with just 8 yards), and short yardage issues re-emerged. Despite it all, the defence kept Toronto alive, coming up with three interceptions, including a pick six, and twice giving the offence a chance to win the game in the final minutes. Demonte Coxie turned in a career night with 9 catches for 187 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to overcome the early damage.

For the long weekend, a special interview with Paul Edmonds, the radio voice of the Winnipeg Jets! Every season hockey fans tune out the TV feed and tune in their radio to hear Paul on CJOB & Power 97. Part 1 - Marty's imitation of Peter Warren inspired Paul to show off his own. He tells about handling sports radio call-in shows and why doing the morning drive is a challenge.They exchange memories of their earliest days covering sports (in Marty's case, at CJUM-FM) and the influence the legendary characters of CJOB, the sports leader in the city for decades. The programming techniques to retain the audience all day was unmatched. Paul believes the shift to fans being able to listen to podcasts on demand benefits everyone. A slight detour takes listeners to review of the grub sports reporters are provided in the press box. 16.35 - Paul attended the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association event inducting Peter Young to the media Roll of Honour. On local TV for over 30 years, Peter championed local amateur athletes and teams and proved that extended sports reports could draw a big audience. Most importantly, The Sports Star of the Week feature helped develop a sense of community in the region. "It was a drawing card," Paul says of the fifteen minutes of sports that CTV allotted. "It was much watch TV." Listen for his Cactus Jack imitation! 24.45 Part 2 - The honouring of Peter Young leads to a discussion in Episode 39 of the great figures in Winnipeg sports broadcasting history. Paul tells a story about a predecessor behind the Jets microphone, Curt Keilback. In an era when TV carried perhaps 1 game on weeknights, radio play by play was the lifeline for hockey fans to follow their team. Paul loves Curt's book, Two Minutes for Talking to Myself35.20 - Keilback was made famous because of his big calls on play by play for the Jets. Now, Paul's description of the Game 7 comeback by the Jets against the St. Louis Blues stands as an all-time great. Marty asks Paul for his favorite call of a big play, which is a World Series at-bat that lasted for 9 minutes.********Thank you to our donors in July, who helped us surpass $2600 in donations so far for the Season Six campaign. With a goal of $10,000, we're counting on listeners of TGCTS and readers of Marty's columns in the Winnipeg Sun to continue the momentum in August.

Send us a textWhat happens when a tiny heart warrior inspires a movement of love and advocacy? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Haley Graham, whose daughter Emberly Dawn was born with multiple heart defects, including a rare Taussig-Bing anomaly. Haley takes us through the emotional journey from that first concerning ultrasound to the founding of Embers of Love, a nonprofit that's changing lives across Manitoba.Haley shares the raw truth of those early days—the quiet car ride home after receiving concerning news at her 41-week ultrasound, being flown from Winnipeg to Edmonton for emergency treatment just days after Emberly's birth, and the month spent in a hotel across from the children's hospital. Her story captures both the inherent isolation of receiving a CHD diagnosis and the profound community support that emerged to sustain them.The name "Embers of Love" came from a touching observation made during Emberly's hospital stay—that this tiny baby somehow "spreads embers of love to everyone she meets." What began with handmade keychains and candles has blossomed into a significant advocacy organization that's participated in over 35 initiatives since 2023. From donating sound machines to the NICU to organizing craft kits for Heart Camp campers, Haley shows how personal experience can transform into meaningful community action.Most moving is Haley's reflection on how Amberlee has become "the flame to our family fire," completely shifting their perspective on what matters in life. Her story reminds us that even in our most vulnerable moments, we can find purpose, create lasting change, and spread those precious embers of love to others walking similar paths.Ready to get involved in supporting the CHD community?

Rather than stay silent, she took the unusual step of having her assailant charged with assault.

This week, the Dads sit down with Manitoba's own Sean Burns. He's a sideman, a frontman and a radio man -- and he's your new best friend. Sean has been playing bass and touring with one of Canada's best underground country stars, Corb Lund, for years. He makes time for his own solo career as a songwriter and purveyor of classic country sounds as the frontman of Sean Burns and The Lost Country. And he's also the evangelical lover of traditional real country music and as the host of the Boots & Saddle Show, your humble home of honky-tonk and beautiful country music by beautiful country music singers, he shares his takes on what make great country music every Tuesday on CKUW 95.9 FM in Winnipeg, and then on podcast services around the globe. Throughout the show, they discuss the balancing act of being a touring musician with a deep passion for the music and being an engaged father to a young daughter. For Sean, it's all about how the two worlds influence one another and finding the right balance as he navigates his life with his wife and kiddo. Show Notes:2:01 -- Sean Burn's country music origin story. 6:14 -- Dave asks Sean a very easy question: What is the best country music album of all time? He has his opinions, and then he gets into how to define country music -- what is and what isn't country. It's not as divisive as you might think. 9:24 -- The planning process for the Boots and Saddle Show. 13:30 -- The Canadian Music Rules and how Sean breaks the laws -- because he's an outlaw! But he has great reasons for it. And then Sean goes deep into the history and Canadian infrastructure of country music through the 20th Century. 21:07 -- Balancing the road and the home life: Sean loves being a road warrior and “dadding up,” but it's a hard balance. 25:33 -- How all the different creative pursuits provide different fulfillment to Sean that makes him a better and more complete person, which in the end makes him a better dad too. 30:00 -- Sean is a true critic and delivers truth without being a jackass. It's not an easy process but the key is to be honest and keep it about the music, not the people. In the end, it is about what he wants. He also has some strong words about 90s country and the people making it.36:01 -- The clear divide between the road and the home comes down to the responsibilities we all have. But the road and the music influence the home life, which exposes the little one to a bit of the road. And that brings the kiddo into the music life -- and gets to meet some weirdos. Driven and independent folks, but weirdos all the same!41:24 -- The Dad Life Sound Check -- Sean and the Dads share their songs of the moment. Thank you for listening.

Although this album was the fourth  Elton John studio album, it was also the third album released in 1971.  John had released a film soundtrack album and a live album previously in the year.  Madman Across the Water is a more progressive album than his previous outings, containing nine tracks with all but the final track exceeding four minutes.  Elton John also had Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman sit in on the sessions for two of the tracks, playing Hammond organ.  Although it went to number 8 on the US Billboard 200 chart, it did not do as well in his native UK.  The mediocre results in England may be partly explained by the song lengths not fitting nicely into the 3-minute span typical of singles.  Nevertheless, the album contains two singles which would prove to be amongst John's greatest hits. Contemporary critics had mixed reactions to the prog rock bent of the album, with some finding the lyrics confusing and the album as a whole too deep for new fans.  As with much of the discography of music icons like Elton John, reviews would trend more positive over time. Madman Across the Water finds Elton John on the cusp of his ascent to superstardom, when his next several albums would trend towards a glam rock approach and would start regularly topping the charts.Original host Brian Dickhute returns to "What the Riff" studios to help us finish off our podcast series focusing on the Months from 1965 to 1995. Tiny DancerThe lead off track takes its inspiration from two places.  Generally, it is inspired by the spirit of the women Bernie Taupin met in California, and how their styles contrasted with those in the U.K at the time.  More specifically it references Maxine Feibelman, who really was the "seamstress for the band," and supported John's elaborate stage costume style.  Feibelman and Taupin were married in March 1971, with Elton John serving as best man.LevonThe first single from the album tells the story of Levon, a man who is successful in the family business, but trapped in his lifestyle.  "Levon wears his war wound like a crown."  This symphonic piece uses a backing orchestra written, arranged, and conducted by Paul Buckmaster.  Madman Across the WaterThe title track to the album was originally supposed to be a track on John's previous studio album, but it was rearranged for this album.  The lyrics are about a man in a coastal mental institution who doesn't know if he belongs there or not.  Many have speculated that Taupin wrote this about then President Richard Nixon, speculation to which Taupin responds, "That is genius.  I could never have thought of that."Indian SunsetThe story about an American Indian warrior on the verge of defeat was inspired by Frederic Remington painting and/or a visit that Bernie Taupin paid to a reservation.  John has stated that the song is not a protest song, but a story.  The opening acapella verse sets the wistful tone of the rest of the song. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the children's television series “Electric Company""Hey you guys!"  This children's educational show debuted in 1971.   STAFF PICKS:Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul and Linda McCartneyBruce begins the staff picks with a song from "Ram," the only album attributed to Paul and Linda McCartney.  It reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1971, making it the first post-Beatles McCartney single to top the US charts.  It is actually a compilation of several song fragments assembled by engineer Eirik Wangberg.  The lyric "hands across the water/heads across the sky" refers to Linda and Paul being American and British.Rain Dance by the Guess WhoRob brings us a song penned by Burton Cummings and Kurt Winter which was the lead-off track from the Guess Who's eighth studio album, "So Long, Bannatyne."  Randy Bachman had departed the band by this time.  Many of the lyrics reference landmarks or businesses in their native Winnipeg, Canada.  You Say It by Al GreenWayne's staff pick is a fusion of funk and soul off Al Green's third studio album.  Green got his start at the age of nine in a gospel quartet. The lyrics from this song discuss the difficulties a guy has in picking up the phone to call his girl.  Al Green became a minister in 1976 and returned to gospel music in the mid-80's.I'd Love to Change the World by Ten Years AfterLynch features a song that is the sole top-40 single from the British blues rock group in the U.S., peaking at number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics express the frustration of the counter culture movement in wanting to change the world, but realizing that solutions are harder to reach than thought.Gypsys, Tramps and Thieves by CherBrian finishes out the episode with a story from Cher. The lyrics are told from the perspective of a Gypsy girl born to a dancer in a traveling show.  When she is 16, she becomes pregnant from a young stranger who runs off, leaving her to raise a baby girl in the same situation as her mother raised her.
