Today is the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Before it was a federal statutory holiday, Sept. 30 was known as Orange Shirt Day, originated by Secwépemc activist and residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad in 2013. For non-Indigenous people, it’s a day for learning about and reckoning with the ongoing trauma inflicted by the residential school system; for Indigenous people, it’s also a day of mourning.
On Truth and Reconciliation Day, we remember and honour the children who attended residential schools — many of whom never returned home. Those who did carried profound trauma after being separated from their families, cultures, languages and communities, often enduring physical and sexual abuse. Many of those survivors are still with us; many more are just one or two generations removed.
The Court Painter, reacting to the colossal downer of the past week in the Great Dominion’s fall parliamentary session, broke into modern dance moves to shake off the gloom!
Late Night host Stephen Colbert finally paid homage to Court Painter with a display of 4 self portraits and a double portrait of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with his favorite fashion advisor : by the eminent Great Dominion portraitist and art celebrity himself.
Court Painter ever modest, was not available for an on the spot interview and sent PM Trudeau in his place. That’s show business!
When it comes to the carbon tax, the truth never stood a chance
September 17th 2024
Excerpted from article:
The carbon tax was a litmus test for our collective ability to sort fact from fiction and put the interests of future generations ahead of our own. On both counts, we have failed miserably. The inevitable demise of the carbon tax is proof that the best ideas don’t automatically win the day, and truth is no defence against weaponized deceit. It’s also a victory for a kind of political nihilism that is ascendant across the Western world right now, one that doesn’t bode well for our ability to meet or manage the challenges that surely lie ahead.
OTTAWA – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre signaled the Liberals’ carbon price and the economy will remain his prime target when Parliament resumes this week.
He painted a dystopian picture during a Sunday morning speech to his caucus, saying the Liberal government’s plans to increase the price would cause a “nuclear winter” for the economy.
“There would be mass hunger and malnutrition with a tax this high … our seniors would have to turn the heat down to 14 or 13 C just to make it through the winter,” Poilievre said.
“Inflation would run rampant and people would not be able to leave their homes or drive anywhere.”

In halls of governance, where power doth aspire, The heart reveals what flames within the fire. Behold! Pierre PoilLIEvre, his visage stark, Doth show his nature, deep within the dark. With venomous tongue, and words of disdain, He seeks the throne, his rule to stain. Yet, in his path, no care for those who chose, But only his grievances, his eyes do close. The office, once sought with noble grace,Would bear the weight of his long nosed face. He would govern not with love, nor with respect, But with a heart consumed by cold neglect. History would mark his reign with sorrow’s pen, For he shall know the judgment of all, amen. With PoilLIEvre’s rule, we may find no solace, But pray for mercy in his troubled palace.

Disturbing statistics: America’s popular vote for Trump: 62,984,828 :2016 74,223,975 :2020
Donald Trump ,the current Facist Republican presidential candidate ,made clear on Truth Social Sept 7/24 that his enemies list won’t stop with national Democrats should he win the Presidency in November, promising long term prison sentences for anyone he deems to have cheated in the upcoming election.
‘CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.’
Court Painter’s Press Attache AHM and Resident Poet and Bastard Bard ,Chatterley Groan Preposterous Thumper (ChatGPT) together scrambled to draft a poetic interpretation of the TruthSocial ramblings of the current Facist Republican presidential candidate,DJT.
O noble MAGA citizens, give money and heed! I, with a host of toxic minds, (Attorneys and Legal Scholars)have sworn To corrupt the sacred 2024, Where my autocracy’s pure light shall not be torn.
For lo! I know, more than the common few, Of treacheries (rampant Cheating and Skullduggery)that in the past I did assume, Where cheating hands, in numbers unproven and untrue, Did mar my country’s pride(Disgrace to our Nation), its shining I construe.
Thus, with vigilant beady eyes and watchful gaze, I now attend this grand election’s tide. Votes freshly cast shall bask in virtue’s rays, While I, in triumph, (WHEN I WIN) claim my wrongful stride.
When victory is mine, and the truth I’ve sold, The fiends( Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials.)shall meet their fate. In dungeons deep, behind bars so cold, They’ll linger long, as injustice fills the state.
Forever shall I descend to lowly ends, (Depravity of Justice) A fallen nation on corruption’s shore. Rise, my MAGA people! Defend what dishonor sends, And let noble rights disgrace our land no more!
Beware, ye who conspire, in dark employ, For my judgment waits, and none shall it enjoy!
Never before seen, in my country behold, As chilling a tale, as fascism retold.
Court Painter has refused to comment on his recent pictures.Seems he’s annoyed however doesn’t want to talk about it…something about Ottawa blah blah blah…
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh pulls out of supply and confidence agreement with Liberals
Singh’s announcement comes less than two weeks before Parliament is set to resume
The Liberals and NDP entered into the deal in March 2022 and it was set to run until June of next year. It has allowed the Liberals to govern in a minority government for nearly three years, well past the average length of a minority.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau former prime minister and father of present prime minister Justin Trudeau won the 1968, 1972, and 1974 elections, before narrowly losing in 1979. He won a fourth election victory shortly afterwards, in 1980, and eventually retired from politicsshortly before the 1984 election.
His decision was made after a long, solitary walk through a blinding blizzard,”it seemed like a good day to have a last day … it was a great walk in the snow,” he said.
‘The Liberals must now prepare for an election, which will happen when the election wants to happen, not when Liberals want it to happen. Preparing will include nominating candidates. It’s going to be hard to know how many they will need to nominate, because they’ll have no idea how many incumbents will run again.
Justin Trudeau, who fired his foreign minister and his finance minister and his justice minister, who called an early election and now warns others against early elections, has converted late to the virtues of tenacity. Others are responding accordingly. Even Jagmeet Singh has managed to outflank him. Soon Canadians will get their chance to thank Trudeau for refusing to change.’
