For the #ArtAdventCalendar: a brush pen sketch of a belted kingfisher, doodled as part of a past #Inktober challenge. I’ve spent much time attempting to get close enough to a kingfisher for a photo – and still so far the best I’ve achieved is this courtroom sketch. #birds

Lots of baby birds around these days, like this adorable juvenile Rose-breasted Grosbeak that was checking out my bird feeders.

Remember when Poilievre served coffee to the Truck Convoy three years ago? He makes it sound like they were just regular Canadians. I remember it a little differently. Make your vote count for something Canadians can believe in. #CanadaStrong

There was no lost Liberal decade. The Trudeau government spent 5 years fixing the damage Harper left, then 5 more navigating COVID and global inflation. That's called leadership. Canada isn't broken-it's still standing because they didn't walk away when it got hard.

The contrast between Poilievre bleating about soldiers and flags in his ads and Carney calmly meeting with new allies, building new trade and support relationships is stark. Poilievre tells us he'll make us strong. Carney reminds us we ARE strong. #Canada

#TuesdayBlue "Little God of the Sea" by Laurie Mutalipassi. This is Laurie's representation of the lovely Monterey Bay in California. She used raw edge applique and created the crashing waves with lace and cheesecloth. I'll attach lose-up pictures of of the waves.

A vote for NDP in central #Ottawa is a vote for Poilievre. Seeing Harden signs around the neighbourhood begs the question: Why risk losing a Liberal seat? If PP wins, we ALL lose. Don’t split the vote. Canada’s future is way more important than allegiance to a party (or person). #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

At a time of national crisis, the piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has sworn to deprive 🇨🇦Canada of its public broadcaster. Every fascist coup starts with the seizure of radio and television stations. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼
