ANCHOR Presents: @canada.gov.ca LIVE
Born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, John Batt is the brain behind the popular instagram account @canada.gov.ca, curating stories from the obscure and often bizarre side of Canadian history and culture. The tales and memes ride that sweet line between education and entertainment, recounting yarns about queer musical resistance in '70s Toronto bars, celebrating the inspirational FERO dumpsters, and skewering greedy Galen Weston. He's taken his one-man show—a cross between a Ted Talk and a couple drinks with a good buddy—on the road all over Canada including shows in Dawson City, Yukon, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Toronto, Halifax and St. John's, Newfoundland. He counts Canadian music heavyweights like Springhill's Anne Murray and Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo among his loyal followers, not to mention a now-squashed beef with Jann Arden. Come see what all the fuss is about. It's not a podcast, it's not stand-up comedy. It's @canada.gov.ca
