Only one member of the US congress voted against the invasion of Afghanistan, beseeching restraint “As we act, let us not become the evil we deplore”
The vast majority of us aren’t using paper maps to chart our course across the ocean anymore, so critics of the Mercator projection argue that the continued use of this style of map gives users a warped sense of the true size of countries—particularly in the case of the African continent.
Mercator’s map inadvertently also pumps up the sizes of Europe and North America. Visually speaking, Canada and Russia appear to take up approximately 25% of the Earth’s surface, when in reality they occupy a mere5%.
As the animated GIF below—created by Reddit user, neilrkaye – demonstrates, northern nations such as Canada and Russia have been artificially “pumped up” in the minds of many people around the world.

In reaction to Canada’s true geographical size being brought to light, PM Trudeau called an election hoping the citizens will not notice the Great Dominion’s geographical diminution in the eyes of the world, counting on the distraction over why a federal election was called in the first place.
Great Dominion voters can expect to head to the polls for a SNAP federal election one of these days!
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning to visit Rideau Hall sometime to ask that Parliament be dissolved, said sources with knowledge of his plans who spoke to Court Painter on the condition they not be named.
The sources said the prime minister is then expected to announce a 36-day campaign — the minimum campaign length permitted by law — meaning voting day is predicted to be in the future.
News of the pending SNAP election call has been reported already by Reuters , La Presse and Court Painter.
Dissolution of Parliament is not automatic and Gov. Gen. Mary Simon could say no — although that would be a rare move out of line with parliamentary tradition.
PM Trudeau practices finger snapping!
An online petition, launched by non-profit organization Democracy Watch and sent to Gov.Gen. Mary Simon, comes as rumours swirl that a SNAP election call is around the corner!
“A SNAP election will be dangerous for many voters. A fourth wave of COVID 19 is expected across Canada this fall, more contagious than ever, as many people are still not fully vaccinated,” Democracy Watch said in a news release. “Voters who are vulnerable to COVID-19 will, completely justifiably, feel hesitant about going to a polling station to vote.”
The organization also argues that a SNAP election is “illegal, dishonest, and unfair” for many voters.
to the Council of the Canadian Historical Association and the Canadian public
We write to express our grave disappointment with the Canadian Historical Association’s “Canada Day Statement”. The Council of the CHA claims that “the existing historical scholarship” makes it “abundantly clear” that Canada’s treatment of Indigenous peoples was genocidal and that there was “broad scholarly consensus” as to the evidence of “genocidal intent.” The CHA Council also attacks the profession in stating that historians have turned a blind eye tothe tragedies that have marked Canadian history.
BEG TO DIFFER: Comments & Definitions
Now many of us are not historians & scholars however with general and in some cases specific & experiential knowledge of the purposeful and institutionally backed church & state efforts to contain and remove indigenous reality from the face of the Great Dominion…one could argue by definition if it walks like cultural genocide, talks like cultural genocide, & acts like cultural genocide …it must be cultural genocide.
The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.(excerpt)

Court Painter & recent portait of Minister Responsible for Nonsense
The minister responsible for Canada’s role in fighting climate change is defending his government’s purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline after a landmark UN report said the continued use of fossil fuels is pushing the climate toward catastrophe.
Minister of Environment and Climate Change Jonathan Wilkinson said today that revenue generated by the project will help Canada achieve its long-term climate objectives.
Wilkinson reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to phasing out fossil fuels and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but said achieving that target will require money generated by fossil fuels.
Recently my manager AHM, who is usually ever vigilant with fact checking, made a major error. In the item below he suggests that the Court Painter is pro Trump and his gang. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and you are hearing it from the horse’s mouth. It is true that I have been privy to private sessions with the individuals in question, but it was done only with the intent of transferring some of their ill-gotten financial holdings from their pockets to my manager’s. During these sessions I had a hard time from throwing up but persevered while my manager sat in the adjacent room eating Kentucky Friend Chicken. It is true that the ladies that hung around D and his male relatives were attracted to me but at no time did I choose to take advantage of their lusts as has so often been implied by my overzealous manager. I have informed my manager of my concern and docked his pay a bit and he has assured me that such attempts at humor will be avoided in the future.
Sincerely
The Court Painter
There’s not really much to say other than Court Painter is very grateful for this family providing such intimate access to their way of life and personal interests.
Be ready for it: some senior Liberals expect to kick off federal election campaign on this date or that date…
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured whispering the election date to his trusted confident , Court Painter. Mr. Trudeau is expected to issue the writs for an election sometime.
With politicos across the country caught in election fever, Liberal MPs, candidates, and campaign managers are preparing for an election campaign to get started sometime with the election date set to be this date or that date.
“Be ready for the writ to be dropped on a date is the message I’m getting from cabinet ministers and MPs,” said one Liberal source who spoke to The Hill Times from a telephone booth somewhere not too far way. Others are saying the election will likely be called on another date. Liberal sources said that if the writs are issued on this date, the election date would be this, and if the start date is that date, the election day will be that date. They expect the writ period to be 36 days long from the this or that date.
Court Painter is just bursting at the seams to make an announcement on either this date or that date.
