A Portrait of Wesley Bates YouTube video by Wesley Bates

A short film about an artist whose beautiful detailed work I have admired since I was a kid. I first learned about how wood engraving works by seeing his working process. I was impressed by the detail and interested to find out about another method of printmaking.

CHARLIE ANGUS ISSUES TRAVEL WARNING AGAINST UNITED STATES YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.

Trump 2025 Joint Session Fact Check Debunking Trump's disinformation speech with all the receipts

Trump claims DOGE found $8M in wasted spending on "making mice transgender."

It was actually $8M for transgenic mice, used to study gene function or generate models to help cure genetic disease in humans.🤦‍♂️

Just 1 of Trump's many lies I debunk in my fact check:

“Although Curnoe made other versions of this map, this is the one that has been most exhibited, especially as an example of Conceptual art.”

“Sheila Curnoe recalls her husband coming into their kitchen after he had successfully connected Mexico to the Canadian border: “He was so pleased with himself. He was laughing about it. It was meant to be funny and not to be taken so seriously.” (3/5)

“Here he makes his own tongue-in-cheek statement that fits his views about cultural imperialism.” (2/5)

Greg Curnoe, America, 1989, lithograph

“In redrawing the map of North America, Curnoe may well have been aware of the 1929 Surrealist map of the world by an anonymous artist who redrew the continents, eliminating the United States completely.” (1/5)

The whole speech Justin Trudeau gave was excellent.
The catalysts for it are so problematic and disappointing - to put it mildly.

On the way back from a Saturday afternoon hike in the woods. Fresh tracks in powder snow. The dog was happily running + frolicking, and rolling and sliding in the snow. Loved the cold temperatures and sun, then clear sky with lots of stars later on

They're not fooling anyone.
