Over 300,000 Canadians have signed the petition to strip Elon Musk of citizenship. The petition doesn't have the force of law but it sends a strong message. Canadians hate fascists and extremists. It's in our DNA. Let's make it the largest petition in CDN history.

Working on something I want to submit to a call but they wonât accept anything that has bee previously exhibited or shown online. Seems rather onerous- how many artists have the luxury of working in secret on something the will probably be rejected.

Small work of a âfire rainbowâ. Only seen if the ice crystals are the right size and shape and with the sun at the right angle. Saw one once. Religious experience.
