Like a typical conservative premier, Danielle Smith is quashing minority rights, though use of the heavy handed notwithstanding clause. Nothing riles her base up like attacking vulnerable minorities. #abpoli #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #daniellesmith #transrightsarehumanrights #notwithstandingclause

Andrew Scheer’s attack on journalist Rachel Gilmore, is part of a larger problem with the CPC. His boss, Poilievre, is concerned about political violence, only as it relates to himself. He’s certainly had no problem denigrating and attacking journalists in the past, especially women journalists. 1/2

Every accusation is a confession, when you lack self awareness. #uspolitics #politicalcartoon #ouroboros

A couple of years ago, it looked like Netanyahu was heading to jail for corruption. But look at him now! To stay out of jail, he knows that he must remain in power--no matter the cost. #worldpolitics #politicalcartoon #netanyahu #gaza #middleeast #qatar

A big thank you to everyone who attended @prairiecomicsfestival last weekend! Especially to those who bought art, books and stickers, or just came by to say “hi” and chat. My only regrets are not being able to chat with everyone who stopped by, and not getting to visit all of the artists and 1/2

In the past 3 months, 3 Canadian banks made almost $11B in profit alone. Wondering why we can't fix the housing or affordability crises? This is why. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8B48dmF/

Is he part of the club yet? He promised to be a dictator on day one. He’s sure acting like one. #uspolitics #worldpolitics #trump #dictator #fascism

It wasn’t 11,870 votes, but when Trump asked Greg Abbott to gerrymander him five seats in Texas, old Greg rolled over and did his bidding. The tinpot dictator warned everyone who he was. This time around he’s got a lot of toadies, sycophants and quislings to push his authoritarian agenda. 1/2

I received a box of these yesterday. They are 40 page samplers of my political cartoons. I will have them (and other goodies) for sale @prairiecomicsfestival , September 6th and 7th at the Manitoba Museum. Hope to see you there. #politicalcartoons #prairiecomicsfestival

Now that he’s won the safest conservative seat in Canada, we can return to regularly scheduled programming. No doubt Pierre is greatly relieved to return to the spotlight and the only job he’s ever known. Along with its huge salary, and taxpayer funded perks and benefits. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon

Today’s the day! Another chance at redemption or losing. Will third time be the charm, or is it three strikes and out? One thing for certain, Pierre is desperate to get back on the gravy train. The real question is how long can he ride it? #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre #desperatetimes

As far as Epstein files distractions go, that was pretty embarrassing, wasn’t it? The obsequious fawning and clapping. So excited to visit with a murderous war criminal. I don’t think putin gets that kind of welcome from his other toadies and vassals—Orban, Lukashenko, Fico, Kadyrov, etc. 1/2

Shocked at how good this episode of Front Burner is. Sharif Kouddous dissects the Hasbara around Israel’s targeted killing of Anas Al-Sharif and his colleagues. There is a policy of killing journalists in Israel.

Brokenhead Ojibway Nation rejected a partnership with sand-mining company Sio Silica, which hopes to drill thousands of wells in southeastern Manitoba. Concerns over drinking water contamination and possible ground collapses have wrapped the project in controversy. Corporations have 1/2

A preview of “negotiations” between Trump and Putin. Odd that it’s taking place in the former russian territory of Alaska. It’s a PR and propaganda victory for Putin to his brainwashed populace. #worldpolitics #uspolitics #politicalcartoon #trump #putinisawarcriminal #slavaukraini

No matter how many times a snake sheds its skin, it’s still a snake. I wonder if that holds true for makeovers too? Big day coming up for Pierre. Will his cowboy shtick work? #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre #conservative

Now that the sentencing for Ottawa convoy leaders is set for October 7th, many conservatives have come out in support of the insurrectionists—including coffee and donut delivery guy, Pierre Poilievre. Remember, the stated goal of the convoy leaders was to overthrow the democratically elected 1/2

He’s got a condition alright. Probably several. #uspoli #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #trump

Two time loser Pierre Poilievre is grasping at straws, trying to remain relevant, as his by-election looms. He’s really conflicted because he can’t get top level security clearance. What’s up with that? #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #conservative #pierrepoilievre

I guess Danielle Smith was right when she said that the unvaccinated were Alberta’s most discriminated group. Now they’re discriminated with measles, and Alberta has more cases than the US. Is polio be far behind? That’s some kind of leadership. #abpoli #politicalcartoon

Wildfire smoke from Canada is causing some inconvenience to Americans this summer. Some governors want us to use advanced technology to better manage our forests. Their ignorance would be charming if we weren’t in our second provincial state of emergency this summer. Faster, widespread adoption 1/3

Happy Canada Day from the least patriotic premier in the country. Increasingly desperate to distract from her government’s corruption scandals, Danielle Smith has targeted Ottawa, the LGBTQ+ community and now, immigrants. What’s next, Alberta? 1/2

What a good Friday for pedestrians and other perambulation enthusiasts! It wasn’t quite parting the Red Sea, but political will and a beneficent cost-benefit analysis, parted the vehicle traffic at Portage and Main. Allowing, after forty-six years, for pedestrian crossings at street level. 1/2

He's sure to get a Nobel Peace Prize for his latest gambit--in his dreams. #worldpoli #uspoli #trump #mops #iran #Israel #middleeast

MP Damien Kurek has resigned from representing the Battle River-Crowfoot riding. Will Pierre win the seat and get back in the game? Or will he be a three time loser? Still wanting to be boss, when he might just be baggage, it looks like the fix is in. 1/2

How does one become so cruel, racist and full of bile? I’m sure there were signs. Now cruelty and lack of empathy are celebrated by those who seek power. Cruelty comes from weakness. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. #uspoli #politicalcartoon #stephenmiller #cruelty #weakness #racist

The PC Party of Manitoba skipped the Pride Parade this year. The NDP and Liberals were marching, but no PC Party. At a time when conservative parties across the west are persecuting LGBTQ+ communities, the PCs missed an opportunity to make a statement of support and solidarity. 1/2

On June 1, 1996, the last nuclear missiles were brought from Ukraine into Russia. The next day, Ukraine has lost its status of a nuclear state after signing the Budapest Memorandum. The US, the UK and Russia gave their assurances that Ukrainian security and sovereignty would not be violated.

If you’re at Pride on Sunday and need a hug, I’ll be there with Free Hugs Manitoba. Get them while they’re free ‘cause I might be charging later :) Bring sunscreen and water—it’s going to be a hot one! Everyone needs a hug—even large hairy ogres like Sweetums! #pridemb #freehugsmanitoba #sweetums

Pray for rain. Northern Manitoba is getting hit hard again with forest fires. Seventeen thousand people have evacuated their homes. Climate change creates hot, dry conditions for tragedies like this. Things are getting worse. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #forestfire #climatechange

Sometimes you have to shoot the nuisance bear in order to have peace. When it won’t leave you alone, it becomes a big problem that you have to deal with forcefully. Because you can’t reason with a bear. #worldpoli #politicalcartoon #ukraine #slavaukraini #russiaisaterroriststate

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

It was back to work for federal MPs this week. A former MP is probably having a serious of being left out of the spotlight. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre

In a desperate attempt to appease MPs and keep his job, Pierre appoints 74 members to his shadow cabinet. Their job is to keep to the shadows and leave the spotlight to him. Odd, since there are only 28 ministers in the current Liberal government. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon

Speaker of the House and performative MAGA Christian, Mike Johnson asks for guidance on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” A bill that takes food from hungry children and seniors, and takes healthcare from millions of low income Americans. All so they can give tax cuts to the wealthy. Jesus wept, 1/2

NEW in @prospect.org: Much has been made of Elon Musk stepping back from DOGE. But RDP research finds that at least 46 DOGE staffers have direct financial or professional ties to Musk and his companies—indicating that the billionaire will have lasting power over the group.

Oops! During her government’s caretaker period, someone violated the Conflict of Interest Act over the Sio Silica project. Not pictured, the third amigo, Cliff Cullen. Will fines be levied? #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #conservatives #mbpcparty #heatherstefanson #jeffwharton

We had quite the temperature swing in Manitoba this week. From tropical warmth to autumn chill, with snow in some places. I know that the weather usually disappoints for the May long weekend, but this is ridiculous. #mbpoli #politicalcartoon #mbweather #climatechange

Danielle Smith claims not to be a separatist. In reality, she’s Canadian when convenient. Right now it’s convenient for her to open the Pandora’s box of separatism, as a distraction from her government’s corruption and influence peddling scandals. 1/2

I’m not sure the Alberta separation crew are living in reality. They’ve slipped into delusion if they think divorce makes everyone richer. Assumptions that everything will just go their way are wildly optimistic. They should examine why decades of conservative premiers haven’t 1/2

Measles continues to spread across Canada as a result of low vaccination rates. The vaccine-autism myth, that refuses to die, is a chilling example of fraudulent science. An infamous article published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, by Andrew Wakefield, a former British doctor, 1/4

Danielle Smith’s temper tantrums, demands and vilification of Ottawa are a tried and true tactic for Albertan premiers looking to distract from their own scandals, incompetence and corruption. The bigger the fuss, the more desperate the distraction. 1/2

This complaint a bit ironic given: - right wing crusade again misinformation research & policy action - studies show most (but not all) BS comes from right Conservative candidate says misinformation about Poilievre led to party loss in federal election www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Oh sure, nothing says "make America healthy" like cutting the entire department responsible for occupational health - a brilliant move only if the goal is more chronic illness, not less. 🤯

I understand Pierre found someone to step aside, and surrender his seat on the gravy train. Blowing a huge lead, losing the election, and his seat. Being less popular than his party and anecdotally referred to as a “dick” by potential voters must have been a blow to his fragile ego. 1/3

Nothing says you are desperate to cling to power after losing an election and losing your seat than begging your caucus to allow you to stay. After 21+ years as a populist politician, Pierre is afraid he may have to actually find a job in the private sector. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Will the night bring despair for Pierre Poilievre and his Conservative Party colleagues? If so, how much? Can he hang onto his seat? His job? Or will he upend the polls to win it all? No one needs a change as much as this career politician. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre
