1/ UCP MLAs are now touring the Grassy Mountain coal mine while 200,000 Albertans signed the Water Not Coal petition to protect the Eastern Slopes. The premier told Albertans she believes in direct democracy… But apparently...she only believes in direct democracy when she likes the question.

Some wear their heart on their sleeve, a metaphor. Dreeshen wore the hat on his head that told us everything about his beliefs and alliance. Smith allowed him to sit with portfolios. Surprised he won’t say he’ll vote to remain in Canada …well you’ve been living in denial about Smith/UCP & theMLAs

I knew that the MLA Committee was going to be a sham. But releasing a statement while the Committee was still deliberating is conclusive proof. Couldn't they just delay pressing send to give them a semblance of plausible deniability?

This referendum violates treaty rights, it will cost Albertans hundreds of millions of dollars, and is now tied to serious public safety concerns thanks to the largest data breach in Alberta’s history. Nobody is above the law – certainly not this Premier or this separatist government.

The Labrador Sea checking out a floating ice shelf. The colours were phenomenal (unfiltered) #BlueSkyArtShow #Clouds #Photography #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDramatic
Photo taken from the zodiac I traveled in to catch a huge ice shelf that had broken away.  The sea was rough.   That ice rose above the water for nearly 2 stories it was  varying tints of blues and greens.  A majestic frozen jewel.   The clouds above give a surrealist painterly impression.  The Labrador Sea is an emerald green.   So very lucky to have been near to have had the opportunity to experience what will be my once in a lifetime

Winter rural scene- foreground we look past fence posts, barbed wire and fine trunks of leafless trees to the deep snowed field beyond with a trail of animal tracks.  Beyond that are two wooden abandoned buildings with snow covered roofs.   A mist hangs low but not so much as a line of forest trunks can be seen rising to the sun tinged fog rising to the sky.

Sometimes painting is just letting the juicy markmaking be the whole reason to explore without any intention of creating a “something”. For me then that is when painting becomes an experience of joy. #artadventcalendar Day 22.
Oil painting - this one is very large 5’x3’.   Predominantly blue colour with mushy oil marks that were painted rapidly, with a lot of playful energy.
