Coward. I never could stand Fallon. Too me-me-me. Now he's going to both-sides fascism. He's not rising to the moment we're in. I'll actively avoid him, clips of him, posts about him. History will not be kind to cowards.

By the time I tape to mask areas of the panel, I know every nook and cranny of this scene. The paint can flow a little more freely because the taping does a lot of the mental heavy lifting. #artistlife #nookandcranny #workinprogress

A good reason to buy Canadian or at least not buy American made food. Cutting red tape and reducing staff means less testing, and ultimately less safety. I can’t rely on any of their food or other products to have been safety tested.

Canada's GDP rebounds in July after three months of contraction - July GDP grows by 0.2% led by goods-producing industries - GDP figures signals we might avoid a recession - Biggest drivers of July growth were mining, manufacturing #MOG8 #ElbowsUp #CANADA 🇨🇦 www.reuters.com/world/americ...

The only way I can "cast on loosely" is with needles a size too large, then switch back to smaller ones for the actual socks. I have a drawer full of socks too tight at the top. Now that I know the secret I might knit more. #knitting #socks

Visitors in the studio from Zurich, Switzerland yesterday. These two have been supporters and collectors of my work for years. I always enjoy showing them my recent and in-progress works. #artstudio #canadianart

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

I was in Mr. Bishop's French class. He'd had the foresight to book one of the few TVs from the AV Centre. The final bell for the day rang but no one moved. We watched the game through to that final goal. What a thrill! 🇨🇦

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

CBC exposed Poilievre’s ties to Canada Proud — the far-right disinfo machine now spending $200K attacking Mark Carney. No wonder PP wants to kill the CBC. Without it, Canadians would only get his slogans, not the truth. r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #cdnpoli

Women know all about guys like him.

Canada nation built (and built and built and built) until the 1970s, then began the great dismantling. I'd pin it to Mulroney era when rails were ripped out across country & Chretien/Harris pulling out of housing funding/backstopping. Canada Post stuff is just another dismantling moment.

as posted on r/toronto, car traffic today will be a mess - Blue Jays game - Leafs game - Toronto FC game (Miami/Messi) - concert at Budweiser stage - no Lakeshore West GO trains - no Line 1 TTC trains Finch to Eglinton - no Line 2 TTC trains Kennedy to Warden www.reddit.com/r/torontobik...

I missed the St. Lawrence Market while I was away in Newfoundland. The harvest has changed to squashes and root vegetables. I'll be making soups this week. New teapot, some pastries and some bread from St. John's Bakery. I'm glad to be back. #groceries #stlawrencemarket

Since getting into office, Ford has championed drinking, gambling and now speeding. He doesn't encourage our better selves. He encourages our immature, reckless and dangerous selves. It would be nice if he gave the same support to education, healthcare and the environment.

Anyone else wearying of Doug Ford’s endless efforts to kill pedestrians and cyclists while misappropriating tax dollars? Just me?

I’m loving the glow in the winter sky of this in-progress painting. This is the top half of the painting in my studio. #workinprogress #art

Trump always brags that he's a deal maker…well I call bullshit! PM Mark Carney's a true deal maker! While Trump was talking nonsense, complaining about stupidities & embarrassing the US at the UN meeting, Carney was busy making new alliances & trade deals! 👇 www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

“A report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online.’ The organization has since been caught running disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. Canadians deserve to know every last detail about Poilievre‘s ties to Canada Proud.”

Great opening reception at Northern Contemporary Gallery. I loved how all the artists represented the flowers in their work. The show's up till Oct 7, 420 Roncesvalles Ave in Toronto. Go put some art in your life! Maybe buy your love some flowers! #TorontoArt #FloralArt

Canadians are still travelling to the US? GWYPF

A pickup driver hit a family of three in a Guelph crosswalk a few days ago, killing the mother. Police set up a camera to investigate. A woman drove around barricades and hit and destroyed it. Doug Ford is reacting to speeding drivers' whining. But what is he doing to protect Ontarians' _lives_?

So just to be clear, all taxpayers will pay for traffic calming instead of fining the people that speed and leaving everyone else alone. We like this for a policy change? Are we so afraid of going after the actual rule breakers that we would rather put it on the back of everybody?

If Carney went to the United Nations to show the world that Canada and the U.S. have become sharply different countries, he can probably declare it mission accomplished. There's plenty of vivid examples of the two countries on diverging paths. #Opinion

I bought some hand-dyed wool in Newfoundland to knit socks for myself. First one took 3 days. In my experience, the second one should take about a week. Second sock syndrome is a thing. It's real. #knitting

One painting is off to Northern Contemporary Gallery, 420 Roncesvalles Ave for their Every Rose Has Its Thorn flower themed show which opens Thurs, Sept 25. I'm new to this great west end gallery. Check out the show! It runs till Oct 7. #Toronto #Canadianart #paintingflowers

CARNEY: "After my time here in New York during United Nations High Level Week, I'm even more certain than ever that in this new era, Canada won't just endure this shift. We will prosper."

Back in the studio adding a bit of mood lighting to the sky. #workinprogress #art

Poilievre spent MILLIONS of taxpayer money permanently campaigning for YEARS. Spent more than the PM!! He lived in a staffed mansion when he held NO ROLE in government at all AT OUR EXPENSE. I want caps on money spent by parties, and his expenses audited.

Do the anti-vaxxers extend their beliefs to their pets? Rabies, parvo, distemper, feline leukemia? Are the animals about to take a hit?

Update.

When I heard they don't want pregnant women to take tylenol my first thought was, they want women to suffer with untreated pain. The cruelty is always the point with them.

Good news for China, India and Canada: "firms respond to restrictions on H-1B immigration by increasing foreign affiliate employment... particularly in China, India, and Canada. The most impacted jobs were R&D- intensive."

Canada has narrowed their procurement of 12 submarines to German or South Korean vessels. The USA didn’t make the shortlist. …the times they are a changin’ #Canada

My response to the cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman on making Trump at the Kirk memorial its top story "After so many years, all media know that Trump needs to be constantly fed with media attention. Canada is clearly impacted by what he does, surely CBC can tone down the placement and headlines"

The Toronto Star’s City Report Card survey suggests six in 10 Torontonians believe that the city’s best days are in the past. Given the challenges Toronto faces right now, it’s an understandable position, but it’s wrong. My column on teenage Toronto. The future is bright if we….(pls read n share).

The quilt on the left is one I made for my daughter many years ago. The one on the right was made for a friend of hers by his mother. I think they're uncannily similar. Same colours, block size, shape within a square, red binding. My daughter says not really similar at all. #quilts

I really wish some brave journalists would do a deep dive on Harper & the IDU. I thought I could breathe again after he was resoundingly defeated in the election, but alas, he's still lurking in the background.
