Cropped Eric cartoon of Poilievre in a tux and monocle looking smug, saying “ lift yourself up by your bootstraps, and you can qualify for a full government pension at 31 years old too!”

I should probably stop wearing my Forest Fire Vax t-shirt in public when I’m not in the mood to have to explain it.

I suspect we’ll look back fondly on the foyer era.

Poilievre has a message for the by-election voters. #abpoli #Canada
First comic panel: Pierre Poilievre in western attire, wearing a campaign button that says "Just Write In PP", says "Hello, it's me, Pierre Poilievre. I've got a message for all you folks in the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. Panel two PP, looking at the no-service alert on his smartphone, says "Even though my family and I left the place we called home unexpectedly, fleeing ideological persecution to this safe space, seeking employment and top-tier healthcare, this small and close-knit community has welcomed us into their homes with compassion and understanding." Panel three PP, looking incredulous: "I mean, wow! I literally came to this community with the expressed intent to take the job of someone who has lived here his whole life and is clearly better qualified to do this job, and I am the leading candidate for the position and it's not even close! And you are paying for me to do it!" Panel four PP narrows his eyes: "Thank you to the people of Battle River-Crowfoot. Let's wrap this up and get down to the important work in Canada together: Doing something about all these resource-draining and entitled immigrants."

Seeing this shared around. Don’t see anything like it in your book (which today I’m wishing had an Index!).

That’s why rather than rushing to to draw rage cartoons, I am busy drawing about something that happened a month ago. It’s the responsible thing to do!

Okay, I get why Diptheria Dani was there but why was Gondek welcoming Trumpa Lumpa to the country??

Looks like the Calgary Herald deleted that headline, but @jlisayoung.bsky.social saved it for us. #abpoli #canada
Breaking News! Alberta Oil Threatened As Wildfires Ravage Province! Danielle Smith wearing flowers and a tie-dye shirt with a Climate Justice sandwich board, a “There Is No Pipeline B” button, an Enbridge logo medallion, holding a “Save the Wells” protest sign, says “Albertans are proud Canadians that want this nation to be strong, prosperous and united, but we will no longer tolerate having our energy industry threatened while Ottawa drags its feet on meaningful actions to combat climate change.”

New comic! What is the Premier’s endgame exactly? 🏝️

#canpoli #abpoli
Panel 1 Danielle Smith at the podium: “I'm getting a lot of questions from folks about ‘Why do you care so much about Alberta separation when you spend every day imagining you'd stuck to your plan and moved to your Libertarian compound in Panama in 2022?’" Panel 2 Smith’s blazer suddenly had a tropical pattern. Panel 3 Smith is suddenly wearing big sunglasses. Journalists: “Um…?” Panel 4 Journalists: “…And?” Smith now has a tropical drink and big floppy Sun hat. Sings to herself “if you like Pina coladas…”

More reflecting on my Poilievre comics over the years as election day looms.

Fun fact: if PP wins, he gets his way! Prime Ministers don’t have to get a background check!

June 2024
Poilievre secrets Panel One Why won’t Poilievre submit to a background check? Some totally plausible theories: Poilievre is secretly the top Taylor Swift listener on Spotify. Poilievre is hiding in bathroom with earbuds while wife bangs on door “Honey what are you doing in there” Panel Two His precious reclaimed wood was really a Kirkland brand DIY rustic cabin kit Poilievre fondles a verticals Costco box, soothingly whispering to it “the beam was always in the log, oh baby…” Panel three It’s actually Poilievre who is Fidel Castro’s secret love child (a reference to the Trudeau conspiracy theory). Poilievre longingly gazes at photo of Castro with “To Jeffy, Love Dad” written on it. Panel Four The courtship of his wife was totally normal and he made up the creepy senior-employee-stalking-the-junior-employee story just to impress his base. Poilievre says “Hello, would you like to go for a coffee sometime” and Anaida smiles and replies “Sure, thanks for asking like not a total creepy weirdo.” I’m going to make you google that story yourself. Eww.

Reflecting on my Poilievre comics as election day looms. I don’t draw him often, but when I do…

September 2023
Multiple panels from 2004-2023 of Pierre Poilievre thinking “Don’t say the n-word” but in last panels is distracted and thinks “OMG it’s happening I am finally going to be the prime minister” and he then totally says the n-word out loud.
