I don't want to thump my chest and say we're the best - that's what our downstairs neighbour does, but I gotta say I'm so proud to be Canadian when our PM takes time for a flag raising ceremony for the LGBTQ community during Pride month. Lucky us, lucky Canada.🍁

Illustrator, Scot Ritchie, opening up his new copy of King of the Dump. Written by Tim Wynne-Jones and published by Groundwood Books. Art shows a little boy, wearing a crown, climbing to the top of a pile of garbage at the city dump. Colours are bright and fun.

Cover of the book 'RJ and the Ticking Clock' showing the little boy (RJ) looking at us, startled, because he is worried he won't get his school project done on time. All the kids are making Father's Day cards and RJ has twice the work because he has two dads!

Pierre Poilievre, looking a bit shifty eyed with a quote below which says "Elon would like you to vote for me." There is the hint of both a US flag and a Canadian flag behind him.

Elon would like you to vote for Poilievre.

Trudeau and Sheinbaum looking down at Trump who is yelling, like a toddler, "Tariffs, no tariffs!" The Prime Minister and President of Mexico clearly look like world leaders while Trump looks like a spoiled baby.

Every 5 minutes...
#Trudeau #Canada #Mexico #Sheinbaum #Trump #Tariffs

By Norwegian artist Morten Morland, The Times cartoonist. He captures the infantile character of both the President and VP so well. I am inspired and slightly jealous of his skill.

It's the little things that can make your day. One brave little Mexican lime left and a trumpload of US lemons... untouched. 🥲 #dumptrump #impeachtrump #truenorth #canada

It's good to see a hero these days

Feeling some kind of way

Hi Brian, Thanks for this opportunity to show our wares! Here's a few samples and my website: scotritchie.com

I agree with the terms

Thanks so much!

If your cat disappears, check the drawers.

A fun, snowy winter scene of a laughing goose sliding down a hill. Snow is falling and Zander's (the goose) bright orange feet wave in the air as he slides through the snow.

One of my favourite books from this past year. With pajamapress.ca

Cartoon drawing of the world shouting "Hey, curb your dog!" at the statue of liberty walking down the street with Donald Trump on the leash. Trump is shown as a dog muttering words like, Greenland, Windmills and Canada. These are all things he has talked about incoherently in speeches or social media. The explanation is the world is very tired of his insanity so the world is shouting at the statue of liberty (representing the US) to keep Trump in line.

I'm usually pretty nice but this wanker brings out the worst in me... well he brings out the worst in the world. 🌎 #trumpresistance #truenorth #canada

Prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau resigns from office. A sad day for Canada and its citizens given the new leadership coming to our closest neighbour. True North strong and free. A portrait of Trudea staring at the viewer, showing his confidence and strength.

It's a sad day with the insanity going on in the US. Trudeau supported LGBTQ+ along with other marginalized groups. I did this portrait not knowing his resignation was on the horizon. I guess this is as good a time as any to post it and say thank you. #canada #truenorth #lgbtq #trudeau

Winter scene of sunrise. Lots of bright white snow and the sun peeking through a stand of trees. The message reads - Happy Winter Solstice and reminds us the reason we celebrate at this time of year.

It's nice to remember the reason for the season... Happy Winter Solstice! ❄️🎄

Thanks Market Kitchen on Granville island for promoting local creators like me. 🇨🇦
