It’s spooky season—but what’s really scary is how cultural appropriation is still disguised as “just a costume.”

In this heartfelt Halloween episode, Andrea and Hostion dive into the tangled web between cultural appreciation and appropriation.

How do you handle uncertainty — structure or spontaneity?

In this week’s Canadian Salad, Andrea and Hostion unpack how comfort with ambiguity influences leadership, innovation, teamwork, and even trust in online business.

Canadian pride is rising again — but not without tension. In this Thanksgiving-inspired episode, Andrea and Hoshin unpack what Canadians are really thankful for in 2025.
From free healthcare and cultural diversity to colonial accountability and privilege, they explore how gratitude and pride intertwine — and why the most meaningful kind of patriotism is rooted in care, not comparison.

Ever been called the black sheep of the family? Maybe you’ve said it about someone else — the rebel, the rule-breaker, the one who didn’t quite fit the mold.

But here’s the twist: that fluffy little phrase carries more history (and bias) than most of us realize.

The Indian Act still exists today. It has stolen culture, language, family, and governance from Indigenous peoples for nearly 150 years.

In this episode of Canadian Salad, we unpack the harms — bans on ceremonies, the pass system, and the erasure of identity — while lifting up Indigenous voices who call us to understand, resist, and dismantle colonial systems.

What do Canadian bosses, chicken legs, and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions have in common? Turns out… a lot.

In this episode of Canadian Salad, Andrea and Hostion dive deep (and hilariously) into Geert Hofstede’s research on Power Distance and Masculinity — two fancy terms that basically explain how societies juggle hierarchy, authority, gender roles, and ambition.

After a sunshine-fueled hiatus, Andrea and Hostion return with a fresh serving of laughs, culture, and just the right amount of sass. In this jam-packed Season 3 premiere, they spill on their summer adventures — from bunny tattoos and ballroom families to citizenship anniversaries and questionable dental records.
