things you say when you don't have to observe pre-election quiet periods & have more PR resources than any city/PB dpmt could fathom: "Today we are sharing crime trend statistics and inviting media to report on them so the public knows exactly what is happening when it comes to crime in Vancouver."

Someone told Julius Caesar that elk had no joints in their legs and could not bend them, and thus slept standing up leaning against trees, hoping not to be tipped over by hunters, and he wrote that down in the Gallic Wars. So tell all - it can't be more embarrassing that that.

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

Would like to see a journalist ask the 7 of Ireland's 14 MEPs (3 FG, 3 FF, 1 II) who just voted to: -endorse burqa bans -call "hatred of Israel" a sign of "Islamist influence" -identify European Muslim communities as potential tools of "malign foreign actors" to justify themselves

Believes that the practice of concealing the face in public spaces and premises open to the public poses an unacceptable challenge to public security, identification and effective law enforcement; supports, therefore, all national measures aimed at prohibiting full-face coverings (niqab or burqa) in public spaces and premises open to the public as a necessary step to ensure social cohesion, public safety and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, in particular women

whereas separatist narratives, systematic victimhood, antisemitism, anti-Christian hatred, hatred of Israel, conspiracy narratives, challenges to secularism, the use of religion as a tool of social control or the contestation of equality between women and men may constitute markers of ideological radicalisation or Islamist influence;

whereas the ongoing investigations into suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge and Järva, Sweden, illustrate the particular vulnerability of diaspora communities to organised attempts at electoral influence; whereas such vulnerabilities may be exploited by malign foreign actors or transnational ideological networks pursuing covert agendas

I still haven’t seen many people mention that C-39 rewrites s. 8.1(3) of the Building Canada Act. Information about a “national-interest” project can be made public up to 30 days 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 it’s authorized. Right now, it’s 30 days before approval. It takes away our right to have a say before approval.

102 Subsection 8.1(3) of the Building Canada Act

Original

30 days to make information public
(3) The Minister must, not later than 30 days before the document referred to in section 7 is issued, make public the information set out in paragraphs
(1)(a) to (e).

Amended

30 days to make information public
(3) The Minister must, not later than 30 days after the day on which a document is issued under subsection 7(1), make public the information set out in paragraphs (1)(a) to (e).

photo showing inside of a white toilet door with handle and lock, above is a two-pronged coat hook which has been drawn around to make it look like an octopus

Closeup of the Octopus drawing, showing six curled tentacles added complete with suckers; someone seems to have later put the date 2020, a heart and some letters.
