This is my Oak Tree lino print. For 4 out of 5 years of selling my art online, this has been my best seller, by a MILE. It's also been on TV :) It depicts how we view oak trees, looking up at them through the branches.

A five-minute walk and I’m in the pine forest of my childhood.
Today I’m heading back to Kyiv.
Let’s take a short stroll among the pines together.
At the Canada–Nordic Summit in Oslo, we worked with Nordic Allies to deepen our collective security, especially in the North.
In a more dangerous and divided world, partnerships like this make each of our nations safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

The nutjobs are in Canada too.
I know the store this person is talking about.
They do put up posters and signs for every religious holiday.
They are lying about talking to the manager.
Wouldn’t it be great if leaders had to spent a week living the same way the most vulnerable do?

Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre: "Prime Minister Carney during this year has made a real new boost in that relationship across the Atlantic -- we sometimes call Canada an honorary Nordic."
Chantal Hébert on why MPs are joining Carney's team: "If you're gonna try to be on some side of this fight and have some impact, you're probably gonna pick the Liberals because the polls, the appreciation of both leaders, tell you that this is where you want to be."
PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on Mark Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."
The U.S. seized a ship from Venezuela. -- and has gotten stuck paying $47 million so far for repairs and maintenance.
The total value of the ship? $10 million.

In the face of public dissent, Port Alberni Mayor Sharie Minions holds the line on the construction of a controversial 55-studio unit supportive housing complex in the Uptown core.
Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."
Canada's grocers used the pandemic as an excuse to price gouge enormously. This year it'll hurt particularly badly. We near the breaking point.

If you think this, from that Wall Street Journal article arguing that wars are good for the economy, was contextualized in any way -- say, to note that America's percentage of world GDP was so high because of 75 million dead and the rest of the world burnt to ash -- you would be wrong.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

It’s been a tough few weeks for Canadian white nationalists.
I exposed a fascist fight club in Montreal (with a lil help from friends). The Canadian Anti-Hate Network unmasked users of a white supremacist dating app.
Who's next?
I had @antihate.ca’s Evan Balgord on the show to discuss:
Here’s my (frighteningly vulnerable!!) follow up on my reporting that exposed a white nationalist active club.
On the professional and personal costs of this work:
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
