So brave... So proud... So scared to show their faces. Cowards need mass movements to support them. Exposure makes them run like cockroaches.
“The organized white nationalist movement in Canada is the biggest it's been in modern history. A big part of that is Second Sons Canada, the Dominion Society, Diagolon, the Active Club movement.”

After many years of observation, I've decided that the amount of sound a cat produces has no relationship to the amount of barf produced. 😒

Neo-nazi's, white supremacists, and other assorted haters met in Vancouver recently. The CBC and the Canadian Anti Hate Network observed it and have identified participants. Unsuprisingly, a lot of them train in combat sports.

Practicing with watercolours and watercolour pencils. It's a learning thing, but I like how the feathery image worked.

Something unexpected happened at the @meidascanada.ca town hall in Victoria.
A group of young Afghan girls who escaped the Taliban showed up and asked to speak. They told their story of the fight for education and the need for Canada to help.
We will be sharing their story.

Danger Mango threatened to take over Canada by military or economic force. People are calling the latest blast from the White House a tantrum I don't think so. When will we admit that the US is waging economic war on us?

I thought I knew the bloody saga of Frog Lake. Then I learned another side of the story
A deadly encounter in 1885, between Cree warriors and settlers in Alberta, is part of my heritage. But a recent discovery has cast the events in a new light

I learned lots from this run. Most important, if you're going to file the plate edges smooth, don't do it where you'll be printing! The little plastic bits get everywhere.

So when *does* it become treason?
Last week Alberta quislings were in Washington to further the break up of our nation. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is setting up a fight over a pipeline that no-one is trying to build.
It is about stoking the base and driving rage against Canada.
My latest.
