Laura is a Canadian writer, performer, educator, and lifelong practitioner of folk magick with nearly four decades of independent study. Her work bridges history, comedy, trauma-informed education, and cultural storytelling.

She has trained extensively in stand-up comedy, improv, sketch, and late-night writing through Second City Chicago and related programs, and applies those tools to teaching, facilitation, and public education. She is a CBT-informed facilitator with experience designing courses that integrate nervous-system regulation, humour, and ethical group practice.

Laura has taught and researched the history of folk magick, witchcraft, and early shamanic traditions, with a focus on cultural context, survival practices, and intergenerational knowledge rather than aesthetics or belief enforcement. Her work emphasizes respect, discernment, and accessibility.

She is the founder of Canadian Look Media, creating original courses, performances, and commentary that blend education, satire, and lived experience—because sometimes the truth lands better when it laughs first.

A Canadian Look

A Canadian Look is a satire and commentary channel examining politics, media, and cultural nonsense through a distinctly Canadian lens—dry, skeptical, historically literate, and allergic to bullshit.

We don’t shout at the news. We let it finish talking.

This channel looks at how power explains itself, how media repeats it, and how ordinary Canadians are expected to nod politely while footing the bill. It blends sharp observation, receipts-based humour, and long memory—because in Canada, the problem is rarely noise. It’s amnesia.

Polite doesn’t mean passive.
Calm doesn’t mean compliant.
And comedy still gets to notice things.
