Hello Kind Stranger(s)
“Hello Kind Stranger(s)” is a daring and careful exploration of the truth we sometimes forget. We live in imagined communities, with imagined borders and imagined rules — with very real consequences.
But far from a cry to denounce Canadian constructs, this zine is a gentle and humorous reflection on what it means to be Canadian; reminding us that with great rights, come great responsibilities.
Issue 03 is somehow an ode to Tim Hortons and a call for reconciliation and a reminder of Canadian ideals and an invitation to live and live well.

Each zine dances with different dynamics between individuals and the social structures that govern our lives. But whether we’re talking about capitalism or gender or nationhood, we never lose sight of what matters most; the joy, laughter and community that we’re fighting for.
