Looks like Danielle Smith has a flag for her Vichy administration. She gives Trump's stars and stripes top billing. She has blanked out our Maple Leaf with a battle cry for oil giants.
Did Kevin O'Leary help design the logo?
Canada needs to stand up to the quislings.

Where can I buy my “The Greenbelt is Not For Sale” hat? @ndp.ca

Every new day is a new opportunity not to fuck it up.

Are they going to pull back on protecting us if we refuse to join? This is frightening.

Looking back, during COVID I found great comfort and connection from Trudeau’s daily addresses. And I liked the way he dealt with Trump. That stability will be missed.

His way of speaking will be missed, especially if the next leader is weak.

You inspire me to continue striving to learn and grow. 🙏🏻

No wonder Elon Musk wants to install Pierre Poilievre as Prime Minister.
He is the only opposition leader in history who won't or can't get a security clearance.
Hell you need a security clearance to volunteer at the library.
He also voted against multiple times against support for Ukraine.

I can’t claim to understand everything going on … but it feels like my country 🇨🇦just died.

Things weren’t perfect but there’s a lot to be grateful for, and I’m mourning the trust and faith I had in his leadership.

What’s to come will surely be worse. Who can we look to believe in if / when WW3?

I just don’t believe that the country will be in better hands if the CPC / PP win.

The hardest part about being a technical writer with a dream of writing fiction isn’t finding the right words. It’s breaking free from the urge to stay safe and to-the-point.

I spend my days making sense of other people’s ideas, but my dream is to unleash my own and watch them run wild on the page

Sometimes I wonder about the veil. It is so thin, like we could sink in, lost in the folds, like lovers in a duvet.

A candle lit bookshelf with a mirror behind it

Feeling like being lost, cold, and alone in a dark forest, with only a dim grey wash of clouds to light the path. Pine branches with their needles pointing in all directions bow down under the weight of packed snow.

Spring may melt it, but I pray that the weight may slip off and fall tomorrow. #art

My #orchid will bloom again 😍

To me, art is about pointing my eye and recording a moment of texture in the page, vibrant through the instrument.

I like it when i can get the illusion of 3D on a 2D plane, but I live for the drag of a tool in my hand.

It allows me to speak without strict language.

A desk setup for watercolour and gouache painting

A mediocre muted watercolour gouache painting of bright golden birch trees against a backdrop of grey and purple misty forest

There’s a vision in my mind of what it will look like when it’s finished, but I am fighting a strong urge to flip the page and abandon this one.

Go #leafs go

I love her 😍

Pretty amazing perspective! You can see the curvature of the earth. I try to imagine how it would feel to pilot a spitfire when it was brand new technology 🤯

#lyrics that changed the trajectory of my life:

“I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime”

A sketch of sky and street before being supposedly ruined by the addition of watercolours and gouache

I have to accept that the sketch will end up feeling “ruined” until I’ve improved my skills with colour

Now I’ve got the mental image of an editor scraping the passive voice off my teeth, thank you

The fact that someone was actually reading and paying attention is hugely positive news to me, so if it comes with a copy edit, even better. Makes me better and makes me feel connected.

And a lil embarrassed, depending on how polished I thought it was when published 😅

I felt for his legs when they showed those replays. Rip McMann’s Shins

I’m also on the slow watercolour journey! Good stuff Josh let’s keep at it and see where the medium takes us 😊

This has wonderful contrast. Captures that morning feeling, very nicely done!
