Faun by moonlight
Leon Spilliaert 1900
A monochromatic painting of a Faun playing a flute under a full moon, being followed by four goats who seem almost hypnotized with three trees in the foreground. The image appears almost like a photo negative and gives the viewer an eerie sense of seeing what is not supposed to be seen.

In a 1990 decision, the Supreme Court said that “‘hatred’ connotes emotion of an intense and extreme nature that is clearly associated with vilification and detestation.” It added: Hatred is predicated on destruction, and hatred against identifiable groups therefore thrives on insensitivity, bigotry and destruction of both the target group and of the values of our society. Hatred in this sense is a most extreme emotion that belies reason; an emotion that, if exercised against members of an identifiable group, implies that those individuals are to be despised, scorned, denied respect and made subject to ill‑treatment on the basis of group affiliation.34 The Ontario Court of Appeal has noted that the term “wilfully” does not include recklessness, but may include wilful blindness. In other words, accused persons must either have known that their actions would have the effect of promoting hatred, or at least have known or “strongly suspected” that inquiry on their part respecting the consequences of their acts would result in the “actual knowledge” required to satisfy the mens rea requirement for the offence.

Hey Joe, I know many of my fellow Canadians have already let you know how they feel in an eloquent, informed and civil fashion therefore I do not feel the need to be any of those things in my response to your outrageous letter. So... Your country is a joke, run by racist pedophiles. Screaming "muh guns!" on the graves of murdered schoolchildren. Bankrupting the sick and injured while padding the pockets of rich. As you circle the toilet bowl of fascism and economic decline Canada will not join you But rather watch you clog the pipes of world order like a giant shit Canada forever, 'merica never. Have the day you deserve, you absolute goof.

In a stunning and absolutely predictable display of rage, former-president-turned-tariff-tyrant Donald J. Trump declared today that he is “done negotiating” with Canada. Why? Because Prime Minister Mark Carney refused to pay what sources are calling a “one-time loyalty fee” to the United States for the privilege of… trading with the U.S. Yep, Trump wanted a bribe—excuse me, a "one-time payment”—in exchange for vaguely defined tariff exemptions. Instead of playing ball, Carney played Canada’s favorite move: the long, quiet, polite NO. “We will not do any deal that compromises Canada’s economic sovereignty or national security.” —Mark Carney, over and over again

Flattery in the way one would say "good doggie" while looking for a brick.

I forget where I read that shortly after the meeting. Obviously a shared sentiment.
