A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

Sadly, this is what is considered good news in The United States these days. Something awful that could have been even worse.
Massively good news: The provision that would have let the trump administration strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit organization they wanted simply by declaring them to be a "terrorist supporting organization" has been removed from the budget bill. Pushing back against these people works.
Nonprofit Killer Provision Quietly Disappears From Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill”
The infamous “nonprofit killer” provision quietly disappeared from Donald Trump’s "Big, Beautiful Bill" as it winds its way through Congress.

A Delta airlines plane engine caught on fire at the airport in Orlando, Florida.
Almost 300 people were forced to evacuate.
I’m sure that guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, will say everything’s fine.

I posted this in January, 10 days before Mark Carney announced his candidacy. At that point I was worried that Carney was going to pass, especially with the Polls looking like they were.
He didn’t pass. He changed those polls. He has been putting everything he has into this.
Now we have to.
Vote.

With a looming trade war with the U.S. and a potential resulting recession (and there are worse scenarios than that with Trump), do Canadians REALLY think this is the time for slogan-focussed “populist change?” This is far from an ordinary context. We badly need the smartest & most strategic leaders
