Here's some context. The 2023 provincial general election cost $36.7M and needed 13,000 workers. This 10 ballot referenda will need 60,000 workers. Alberta is basically doing the equivalent of ~5 general elections at once. I guess Premier Smith has an extra ~$200M lying around? 💲🗳

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Takes no responsibility for creating this situation, and now wants to swoop in to play hero. Fuck that guy.

Jason Kenney:
Like the vast majority of Albertans, I’m both a proud Canadian, and a proud Albertan.

We are a smart, hard working, innovative and loyal people.

Those who went before us built one of the most prosperous and generous societies on Earth.

And we’re not going to let anyone tear apart our home, the true North strong and free.

It’s time to fight for our country.

Alberta: let’s lead, not leave.

Graphic:
Pro-Alberta. Pro-Canada.
Alberta Built Canada
And we're staying

Prediction: this'll drive away business, destroy Alberta's economy, and provides a pretext for a future Donbas-style war of liberation if a Brexit-style propaganda campaign doesn't work to split Canada. Who stands to benefit from this seditious bullshit? Can we arrest them for conspiracy?

Every once in a while, I remember why I love living in 'Berta, because I have so much time to think about that as I wait a minimum 6 months to get one specific medical test done. I was told to wait 6-12 months to be booked for this test. Damn. So much love.

Plein Airpril 09. I can't decide if this little painted 'window' is successful.

Digital illustration for Plein Air-pril art theme. The scene is of an older style building that has Chinese curved and pointed roofs, a circular walkway entrance, and some stairs. A lively tree is growing on the right hand side. Part of the drawing is sketchy lines and blocked colours, while other parts are more painterly

Plein Airpril 08. Quiet nights and lights.

Digital painting for Plein Air-pril art theme. A late night street that has almost nobody on it, but the streetlights and small handful of dim windows still cast light. Trees that are by street lights glow with a bright green amongst the dark navy night.

@MarkJCarney
At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus.

In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands.

Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy.

She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines.

I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.

Plein Airpril 07. I got too absorbed with fiddling with a brush and keeping the background trees pushed back into the distance. Procreate is still a learning curve.

Digital painting for Plein Air-pril art theme. This painting is of a sunny garden with a large rectangular pond in the middle, and thick foliage trees behind a garden wall. The sky is blue and all of the plants are warm green with cream coloured flowers.

Plein Airpril 06. Snowy cloudy walkway in the valley.

Digital painting for Plein Air-pril art theme. The scene is of a scow covered wooden walkway that eventually becomes stairs so that people can walk into the river valley. There is a wall of dark pine trees in the distance, and you can see the faint details of the river and the other side of the river bank. The walkway has dark wood that contrasts with the bright snow.

Plein Airpril 05. I'm an adult and can do what I want (start this theme on the 5th day without drawing 4 more things to catch up.)

Digital painting for Plein Air-pril. The scene is of a flowering orange tree, with red buses on street level, and high rises in the background. The tree is very full, with green leaves and flowers being lit up by the sun.

The war is very bad but so much stuff before the war was also very bad. So many people sick or dying due to the closure of USAID. The ICE detainments. The mass government layoffs. The destruction of the East Wing. The decimation of science research and funding. Fluctuating tariffs. Travel bans.

"The color is repellent, almost revolting; a smouldering unclean yellow, strangely faded by the slow-turning sunlight." I made a "Yellow Wallpaper" piece back in 2017, but I re-read the story over the weekend and wanted to try again. Much happier with this version 🖤

illustration inspired by Charlotte Perkins-Gilman's 1891 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" depicting a woman touching sickly yellow torn wallpaper on a wall while shadowy hands reach toward her. There is another tall shadow of a figure on the wall and both figures look toward the viewer.

Global events are *screaming at the top of their lungs* that it's a terrible idea for your country to be addicted to fossil fuels. The lesson could not be more blunt & obvious. But of course incumbent interests have a lock on the information sphere, so only a little squeak is actually getting thru.

This is not a case of separating the art from the artist because the art DOES NOT MATTER. I do not care about whether or not it’s the greatest work ever written, you’re LITERALLY COMPLICIT IN HER CHILD-MURDERING AGENDA if you give her a penny.
