I am a Canadian artist and writer. My third full collection of poetry CROW CITY BLEEDING has been published by Cajun Mutt Press. Poems explore working class concerns, neurodivergence, urban sprawl vs. Nature.

One of the poems looking back on factory days. Work is work, yeah, but good money, good hours, good people, good memories.

Painted cover done in acrylics by the author, in red, black, and white. An abstract depiction of a crow. The crow may be red, or covered in blood. It's staring right at you.

Here is the cover to my third collection of poetry, just released through Cajun Mutt Press! The artwork for the cover is mine.

Canada should cancel F35 order and go to Swedish jets.

Interesting thought. It makes me wonder why Alaska hasn't been annexed by Canada. Canada could take Alaska.

Thanks! My cousin used to make his own indie syrup. When I was a kid I'd go help him tap the tries.

Not enough think that to matter. Not enough for you to look as bad as Russia invading the Ukraine. That's how it would go. Fook around and find oot. If Kevin O' Leary is his "many" then he's a Thunder Dolt.

It would be a lot like Russia invading the Ukraine. Look at how well that's gone. I appreciate you putting your feelings out there.

Is he serious? Has he seen Red Dawn? Most Canadians growing up saw the Americans as Canadians and saw the Russians as Americans. Knowing Wayne Gretzky and Kevin O' Leary does not make him an expert on Canada. He has seriously bad intel.

Yep. As much as I would like to hang with some American friends, when I have the time and money to travel I'm keeping it in country. I've always wanted to go to Newfoundland and see L'Anse aux Meadows. I believe that will be in my 2025.

If America acts like Russia to us, we'll act like the Ukraine to it. How divorced from reality some peoples' leaders are.
