We know this. What Albertan’s need to know is HOW the NDP will fix everything. Make a list cost it out. Show people in B&W so they can see it and have confidence in voting NDP.

It is becoming essential that you sway lifetime conservative voters who are blinded by the stereotype & distrust of NDP.

Some US’ians are saying confirmed sources said ground troops are going to Iran. I hope he does TACO though.

Who here has made it to @gandersocial.bsky.social ?
I’m there, so let’s connect if you are too.

I can see myself getting off all other platforms eventually. I don’t feel terribly social anymore now that such a large percentage of people have revealed themselves as racist, intolerant jerks.

Damn it. Edit button now please! Pillows=Illos.

But don’t worry, there will be free art & bookmarks in time. 😉😉

Just in time for #bannedbooksweek my little free library is open for business. The 2 @margaretatwood.bsky.social books have already been claimed.

Yes, I changed 1 of the pillows after reading about libraries with political messaging being vandalized.

I am surprised they aren't well over the amount needed. But now I'm worried they won't get there in time. Fingers are crossed hard.

But I think he was happy to entertain that group for his own ambitions, but they bite him in the ass and now he’s pissed off at them, so is calling them out. If he hadn’t of entertained them in the first place we wouldn’t be here right now.

So I posted my sketches I’ll be using for my free library to Insta, & said I’m doing it because of governments attacks on literature. I guess they must be suppressing the post because no one is seeing it. What a bunch of fucking Nazi’s.

On February 2nd I ceased shipping any of my work to the US. I just refused to have anything associated with me contributing the coffers of this corrupt administration. This latest move is a hostile attack directed at Canadian businesses.

I am glad I made that decision when I did.

The US has ended the $800 exemption, but now is also requiring Canadians to prepay the tariffs.

"Starting August 29, 2025, every package shipped from Canada to the U.S. must show proof that duties have been prepaid before the shipment can be accepted for delivery."

I lived in the country for 30 years. We never had anyone door knock ever. I get that it’s tough. Distances, dogs, safety, etc. but find a way to reach people.

BTW: I was rural folk & those comments are rude, wrong & only further the division. Same for all the disparaging Alberta comments.

There was a line in a show we were watching that said “power is only gained by making people hate something”. It was in reference to rise of Nazis before WW2. But how profound is it for the times we’re living through. PP can’t get power thru good policy, so he tries to do it thru hate.

Red Princess - Digital painting

I have returned to doing bookcover illustrations. This piece is available for #licensing from Arcangel licensing.arcangel.com/asset-manage...

I think (as long as cons aren’t in power) a federally run program would see huge cost savings. No need for every province to have their own health authority management for 1.

True. I’m advocating for the federal government to take over healthcare period. The provinces are screwing it up and wasting too much money, while provincially appointed overseers are walking away with huge windfalls/salaries.

I’m ambiguous about it because I have other outlets. It was paintings that were sold more to US than Canada or elsewhere. But I still have income from illustration and photography through licensing. So I just paint less and do more illustration.

I hope you aren’t impacted as much by it.

I stopped shipping to US in February. The majority of my work sold there so it wasn’t without consequences, but no way is 1 penny of my work going to the convicted sex offender or his goons.

I wonder if we can pay to get a vaccine in another province? I may try phoning an out of province pharmacy to ask.

A fresh new shipment of paintings & illustrations are winging their way to Art Interiors in Toronto. Including the whimsical 8x10” figurative oil painting titled Rope Swing.

We need non-serious art for these heavy times.

Sing Soft And Low

I feel like artists of quality don’t get the attention they deserve here. This is terrific!

I'm on a 48 hour no activity rest, so catching up on photo processing. This was a Magnolia tree from our spring trip to Sidney, BC.

I bit the bullet and enrolled in the floral design class. Wish me luck in being able to find the supplies needed to do it!
