Even studioholics, like master paint handler Court Painter, enjoy a relaxing diversion on occasion. He’s become a fan of a recent up beat yet obscure film with cameo’s of the ever miserable and hard scrabble projections of Jordan Peterson plus fellow travellers Danielle and Pierre ….a real treat for lovers of imaginary film stills of existential grit & grind! (apologies to filmmaker Béla Tarr & others)
Film ends with a pessimistic J Peterson and an optimistic D Smith
“If we caused some confusion by some awkward wording, then let’s clean it up and then be able to talk about the bigger issues,” Premier Danielle Smith said in the midst of her major legislative flame out!
Political scientist Duane Bratt said it’s a positive step for the bill to be amended to remove the sweeping powers to cabinet.
But Bratt said the change is not a tweak, the bill has become a confusing mess, Smith did not seem to understand the legislation she was introducing, and the entire affair raises larger questions about Smith’s competence in the top job.
“How did this get in the bill in the first place?” said Bratt, who teaches at Calgary’s Mount Royal University.
“Wouldn’t they have read it? Wouldn’t they have noticed this? This is damaging to have to backtrack. These are major reversals on her signature piece of legislation. (No matter) whoever wrote it, at the end of the day her name is attached to it. She’s the one who introduced the bill. She has to wear this.”

Court Painter flanked by glowing portraits of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
Rewrite:
There is plenty of room in the Republican Party for anti- Semitism and white supremacy. Anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in clear eyed judgement, is highly likely to be elected President again!
Court Painter determined the only fair way to choose which Republican law makers would receive the honour of a portrait ,was to put all representatives names in the official (R) Party Hat and pick ten.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith‘s signature legislation would grant her cabinet new powers to bypass the legislative assembly and unilaterally amend provincial laws.
Is Alberta a Rat free province?
Albertans have enjoyed living without the menace of rats since 1950 when the Rat Control Program was established. Alberta’s Rat-free status means there is no resident population of rats and they are not allowed to establish themselves.
Not anymore you animal lovers! The governing UCP just turfed that law under their new powers!
Seems the Rats have taken over the ship of state on November 29/22 as an United Conservative Party infestation appeared in the Alberta Legislature, led by Premier Rat-ette Danielle Smith.
Don’t believe me? Look it up!
How to get rid of rats?
The bad news is that getting rid of Rats isn’t easy: they’re a notoriously destructive and stubborn breed, and require patience and determination to eradicate unless they resign…
Breaking News: Jason Kenney has resigned as Member of the Legislative Assembly for Calgary-Lougheed. and was quoted by an anonymous source as saying “this Rat-ass is leaving as this ship of state is sinking.”
·Jason Kenney’s stand up routine includes Ratfucker jokes!

so well as by reflection, I , your glass,

that of yourself which you yet know not of.”
Court Painter & Mirror Mirror
Counsel to the Convoy Organizers Bernard Miller with his inexplicable hair do was a conspicuous No Show in the final public chapter of the Public Order Emergency Commission Hearings. The producers of the show promised yet failed to deliver on a grand finale dust up between the combative lawyer Miller with his inexplicable hair do and the serene and well coffered Prime Minister Trudeau: the highly anticipated yet failed storyline was to lay a mortification upon Justin’s shoulders that even Rex Murphy could not have contemplated in his gratification of a desire to attempt by his unconscious to resolve some repressed conflict. Anyway Rex would have been ecstatic at the expected outcome in the traditional sense of describing someone who is nearly out of their mind with intense emotion as in the early use of ecstatic that was sometimes linked to mystic trances, out-of-body experiences, and temporary madness. The plot failed even the verbose Mr. Murphy! We digress…
Whad happen’!?
13% of Canadians polled were sure Bernard Miller with his inexplicable hair do would have whupped Justin’s ass and sealed once and for all the righteousness of the Freedom Convoy’s claims for real freedom and escape from the chains of tyranny that Justin’s version of democracy doth embrace at last estimate…100% of Canadians. Yes it’s counterintuitive but democracy also embraces those who would wish it gone.
So here we are …left dangling in the long shadow of democracy as Freedumb fighter lawyer Bernard with the unexplainable hair do…sends a girl…a girl…in his place and he is a Big Wimp No Show! (Editors note: The reference to a girl is left in the text to provide readers with an historical and cultural context of the male animus stakes that Counsel Bernard with his inexplicable hairdo and Big Wimp No Show attitude , left on the mat of contestation.)
Court Painter & his entire studio staff apologize for being so annoyed but the producers of the program promised a battle between democratic governance & well…something else…but all we got were weeks of build up with the protagonist and pugilist counsel Bernard Miller with his inexplicable hair do; setting the table for the final chapter of knock em sock em face-off and ideological fisticuffs with the some what experienced brawler Justin Trudeau also known to occupy the soft hands position of Prime Minister.
So being unsure who the writers were at CPAC who obviously missed the drama of the times and future Heritage Moment, Court Painter and his studio team are left to stew in their distempered juices!
However in spite of a dramatic plot unrealized : Thanks a lot CPAC and to the serene Prime Minister for a drama well executed and job well done!
PS: Mr Millar with his inexplicable hair do was last seen out of breath from chasing false leads , hunching over a crystal ball in anticipation of identifying the phantom swastika flag bearer…

A Study in Swastika, by @Justin_Ling
https://open.substack.com/pub/justinling/p/a-study-in-swastika?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Lead counsel for the Convoy Organizers Brendan Miller has embarked on a bizarre and totally unfounded side quest to prove that a complicated network of agents, operating under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, infiltrated the Ottawa occupation with Nazi and Confederate flags, in order to discredit the movement and make the case for police action.
Court Painter was uncharacteristically tight lipped about how a recent portrait installation including a peacock are connected . He mumbled something about the Art speaks for itself and requires no explanation and besides he ‘has to live in this town’.. media reports however tell a more fulsome story!

‘Former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi is at the centre of a Canadaland story about an alleged plot to entrap him into accepting illegal Russian money. Shane Wenzel a local Calgary business owner and his mother Edith Wenzel are suing the media organization as well as a former political fixer David Wallace for alleging they had involvement in the plot.
Canadaland, the news site that reported on the alleged scheme, said “Operation Peacock” was orchestrated by political strategists and political fixer David Wallace and was backed by local business interests.’
The Main Cast (so far)
Court Painter loves this time of year and prepares well in advance a new product line of posters often in blinding colour for easy gift giving to those folks that love to receive but frown on giving! (Thanks to Norman Rockwell & other illustrators for being ever inspiring)
