McKee Rankin's recent album, *Tilt*, resonates with an almost startling resonance of Cervantes’ *Don Quixote*, positioning itself as a distinctly Canadian counterpart to the classic tale. Like the idealistic knight errant, Rankin, through his idiosyncratic combination of Celtic and Maritime musical traditions, charges headfirst into a landscape of myth, memory, and the poignant beauty of a fading world. This isn't a straightforward account, but a series of evocative vignettes, each a little adventure fueled by a palpable sense of longing and a stubborn refusal to abandon belief. The instrumentation itself—ranging from mournful fiddles to ethereal vocals—mirrors Quixote’s own shifting viewpoint of reality, a swirling and often heartbreaking investigation of what it means to be both rooted in a place and yearning for something beyond it. It's a profoundly moving piece of art, proving Rankin to be a modern innovator with a distinctly Canadian soul.

North of La Mancha: Rankin’s Imagined Kingdom
Beyond the sun-baked plains of La Mancha, creator Robert Rankin has crafted a delightfully bizarre realm, a kingdom less bound by geography and more by the whims of his fertile imagination. This isn't a place you’discover on a map; rather, it’emerges from a swirling vortex of Celtic mythology, science fiction, and delightfully absurd humor, like a shimmering mirage just beyond the ordinary horizon. Populated by talking animals, mischievous sprites, and ancient, slumbering gods, Rankin’s fictional territory boasts its own internal logic, a playful disregard for typical physics, and a healthy dose of anarchic glee. The very landscape seems to change at a whim, one moment a crumbling castle, the next a field of singing mushrooms – a truly random and enchanting place to lose yourself within the pages of his books.
The Chronicle of Rankin: Dreams & Delusions
Few dynasties have left such a layered mark on national history as the Rankins. The new exhibition, "A Chronicle of Rankin," explores the period of their rise to wealth, a journey riddled with both impressive achievements and crippling misjudgments. While their contributions to trade are undeniable, the exhibition doesn't shy away from investigating the increasingly strange behaviors of its founder, Silas Rankin, and the widespread sense that the family's business was built on precarious ground. Viewers will be confronted with fascinating evidence suggesting that Silas's grand visions were perhaps less inspired and more the product of the distorted belief in his own destiny. Finally, the exhibition asks: Were the Rankins truly innovators, or were they merely brilliantly sustained delusions?

Beyond the Arctic Frontier: Rankin's Noble Folly
The remarkable project of Lord Rankin, forever etched in more info history as "Rankin's Noble Folly," stands as a testament to the alluring, yet frequently deceptive, promise of the Arctic. Driven by a unwavering belief in the untapped potential of the Canadian North – specifically, a vision of transforming the vast, frozen expanse into a flourishing agricultural hub – Rankin launched a daring and ultimately failed venture in the 1930s. Picture the sheer audacity: to carve a network of irrigation canals, to import settlers from Britain, and to reshape the landscape itself. His design involved diverting the waters of the Mackenzie River, a feat of engineering considered practically impossible with the technology of the time. While a limited settlement, “Rankin Inlet”, did briefly prosper, the harsh realities of the Arctic climate – the permafrost, the relentless cold, the poor growing season – soon proved insurmountable. Today, the abandoned canals stand as silent observers to a dream dashed by the tough nature of the North, a sad illustration of humanity's enduring, and often humbling, relationship with the untamed frontier.
