Jamie Bell

Jamie Bell is a Winnipeg-based interdisciplinary artist and strategist working at the intersection of media arts, community engagement, and public affairs. Among others, his work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council, and the OpenAI Researcher Access Program, with a focus on participatory media, strategic communications, and arts-based collaboration across northern and urban contexts.

A sweeping federal communication ban ordering agricultural scientists to lock out local mayors and evade reporters represents a chilling, anti-democratic assault on public transparency. By aggressively muzzling frontline public servants to conceal a massive $394-million laboratory budget cut, Ottawa has stripped Canadians of their fundamental right to know how their own food security is being compromised. This weaponization of government secrecy directly threatens democratic accountability, forcing open inquiry behind locked gates and hiding vital public-good science from the very communities that funded it.

Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
