With house renos and chaos I have not taken time to paint. Last night I decided to do a little #trailtiles painting of a puddle in front of me while I waited for my kid. Unfortunately I had no pencil to sketch with and my pen ran as soon as the water touched it. 😂 #ssalmonart #watercolour

There's been lots of talk lately about the "lost decade" in Canada under the Liberal government. It revolves around this chart:

Remember the most important , effective, thing any one Canadian can do to fight Trump's aggression ( at the moment ) is to cause economic pain to Americans by boycotting everything American , until they take effective action.

As we watch Trump's attack on universities, remember that Poilievre promises to appoint a "Free Speech Guardian" for universities.
A university could lose its federal funding if this politically appointed "guardian" recommends it.
