Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation ain’t having the separatists rhetoric from Smith or her ilk… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s voting day for the Federal election in Canada. Get out and vote!!!!

"where colour weaves and line wanders" 24"X 18" hand dyed and woven cotton, Flashe 2025 focus on interplay between structure and spontaneity - where the controlled act of weaving meets gestural painting

My favourite flowering trees are in bloom.

We’ve made it over the halfway mark of the federal election campaign! How exciting! Just in time for a creepy little trend to emerge: people rolled up to a recent Poilievre rally wearing hoodies with the question: do you believe the polls? Oh, and Nardwuar has made an appearance 👀

Work in progress paper sculpture. I love this sunshine colour palette.

Thank you, Danny!

Making my own sunshine in the studio today. #paperart #paperplay #art

The more I think about Vancouver’s byelection lines, the more I think it’s a perfect example of how municipal staff fail. They tripled the budget for planning, talked about how great they were for doing all sorts of fancy extra initiatives. And mostly ignored the main thing voters rely on.

By Evan Dyer CBC. This is highly problematic.

Vancouver's municipal by-election is today, 8am to 8pm, at 25 locations around the city. Remind your friends, family members, and colleagues that voting day is happening, and they need to show up. Voting locations can be found here: vancouver.ca/election/202...

Not a joke: advance polls are open again today! Vote for Lucy Maloney at City Hall, 8am-8pm.

For anyone who can't make advance voting today and unable to vote April 5, you can ask for a mail-in ballot UP TO NOON TODAY. Then you can pick it up at city hall any time 8:30 to 5 Wednesday or Thursday and up to noon Friday. Can be dropped at elxn office 305 West 8th any time

Thank you to everyone who attended the workshop @z-space.ca tonight. And thank you @bmann.ca for stepping in to lead it. #artmove

new hand woven painting on cotton weave 2025

Jay Graber @jay.bsky.team, CEO of Bluesky, gave a few remarks before lunch on Saturday. "The AT Protocol here is what is fundamentally different, and because you're here today, you're different." #ATmosphereConf

I am a single issue voter and my issue is that Colleen Hardwick has any supporters at all despite not doing her goddamn job the last time she was in office with over 250 abstentions (and a vote against reconciliation) the last time she was in office. That’s 150 more than anyone else.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard from a neighbour that they couldn’t get their kid into swim lessons… I could build a new pool. Ken Sim and ABC have hiked up your property taxes year over year, and we don’t have much to show for it.

The new Alfsky stickers @bmann.ca ordered for @atprotocol.dev are bonkers adorable!

Where I ended up in the studio yesterday. And then there were five.

This grey rainy day is perfect for working with colour and paper in the studio. And now there are four.

I love this thread from @crompsy.com about finding an alternative to Spotify.
