all we know at this point…

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Palm Beach, Fla. to meet over dinner at Mar a Lago with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, according to senior Great Dominion government sources. 

The ever resourceful Court Painter gained access to the dining room for a portrait session.He was sworn to secrecy.

strategic business decision…

Court Painter, ever attuned to grand occasions, has swiftly produced a series of portraits in anticipation of the impending coronation of Trump the First. These works crafted in an everyman style ,carry hopes of earning The Donald’s approval and destined—if fortune allows—for inclusion in his regal library, whether posthumously or sooner.

When a curious passerby inquired about the inspiration behind this collection, the normally reserved Court Painter let slip a candid remark. He noted that the queue to kiss The Donald’s ring stretched far into the future. Recognizing The Donald’s well-documented fondness for visual tributes, Court Painter made a strategic business decision: to secure favorable tariff treatment for potential cross-border sales in the future.

gridlock amongst the privileged…

Court Painter is having trouble sorting out the parliamentary blame game on the issue of the Great Dominion’s House of Commons gridlock other than WTF you bunch of privileged partisans!

A debate that has jammed up the House of Commons for nearly two months now doesn’t appear likely to end any time soon, as neither the Liberals or Conservatives are showing signs of backing down.

“Right now what we see in the House is deplorable. But the Liberals are not being transparent and are not providing documents with essential information. Having documents completely redacted is not responsible,” said NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice, speaking to reporters in French.

“And then we have Conservatives, who are doing systemic obstruction, who refuse to vote on their own motion and keep making amendments and sub-amendments to delay House work.”

The parties blame each other for tying Parliament up in a privilege debate that began in late September. That debate stems from a House order that directed the government to hand over unredacted documents related to a now-defunct foundation responsible for doling out hundreds of millions of federal dollars for green technology projects.

Although opposition parties could side with the Liberals to bring the privilege debate to an end, neither the NDP or the Bloc Québécois seem willing — with each of them on Tuesday calling on the Liberals to hand over the documents.

time for a surreal break…

Surreal describes something that’s an aberrant mix of elements, often jarring and seemingly nonsensical. Images can be surreal, like Court Painter’s twisted presence , but so can strange, bizzare moments marked by irrational realities in the political precincts of worldly governance.

RFK Jr. & those pesky vaccine facts…

Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., also known by his initials RFK Jr., is an American politician, environmental lawyer, anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist whom President-elect Donald Trump has nominated to serve as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services. 

RFK Jr. distinguishs himself with assertions that vaccines cause autism. COVID may have been a “plandemic”—one designed to spare Jews and Chinese people. The government is using 5G networks to “control our behavior.” WiFi is making us unhealthy. The FDA is waging a “war on public health.” HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. and just in : RFK Jr.has expressed a strong belief in the existence of “chemtrails.”(Google it)

Facts on the efficacy of vaccines

the Lancet
The Power of Vaccines
In a study published this year in the Lancet, researchers used statistical modeling to estimate the impact of vaccines against 14 common pathogens in the past 50 years. The scientists determined that vaccines saved 154 million lives since 1974—at a rate of six lives every minute. Of those saved lives, 95 percent of which were children under five years old. The same estimates showed that vaccines have cut infant mortality by 40 percent globally, and by more than 50 percent in Africa. The smallpox vaccine totally eradicated the illness in 1977. And other severe illnesses like polio, measles and rubella are eliminated in some countries, or at record lows globally. In all of human history, vaccines have saved more lives than almost any other intervention. First line of defense: Vaccines are usually the primary line of public health defense in communities with no health care. Poverty, malnutrition, underlying health conditions, overcrowding, human conflict, displacement, and lack of access to medical care, hygiene or sanitation—all of these are risk factors for infectious disease, says Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s immunization, vaccines and biologicals department. Vaccines reduce disease in these settings and free up health care resources for other public health projects. Vaccines also reduce disability and long-term morbidity, and prevent loss of labor and the death of caretakers.What the experts say: “We say vaccines are one of humanity’s great achievements in terms of having furthered the lifespan and life quality for humanity in the past 50 years,” says Aurélia Nguyen, chief program officer at Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance Deaths averted since 1974:
Measles: 93,712,000
Tetanus: 27,955,000
Pertussis: 13,155,000
Tuberculosis: 10,902,000
Haemophilus influenzae type B (HiB): 2,858,000
Poliomyelitis: 1,570,000

Opinions in couplets…

Court Painter, in desperation turned to his studio resident scribe Chatterley Harrumph Acerbic Thunderbuns (ChatGPT) to write something in exaggerated Shakespearean rhyming couplets to match the sentiments of selected sad opinions rendered in the press on November 20/24.

The images were chosen willy nilly from the vast Court Painter archives. Unfortunately no happy pictures could be found in the archive at the time of this posting.

A nation’s honor must not be sold,
For “America First” lays a tyrant’s hold.

A deal once gilded, a dream so bright,
Now crumbles to dust ‘neath blinded might.

Lo, Trump ascends with chaos unchained,
Policies falter, and leaders are stained.

Unity’s beacon must ever shine,
For division’s shadow yields ruin’s sign.

Blame is a venom that fouls the air,
It blinds the just and breeds despair.

Institutions strong the culture sustain,
Their fall would shatter the nation’s vein.

When trust is broken, alliances stray,
Should Canada bend or chart its own way?

A climate plan tests wisdom’s creed,
The hour is dire; bold actions must lead.

To prepare for doom is prudence’s plea,
Neglect begets catastrophe.

A nightmare plays on the stage of might,
Where clashing ideals doth darken the light.

A victory hollow, bereft of soul,
Without compassion, no leader is whole.

The tides do turn, as power must wane,
Trudeau’s bright star begins to wane.

Our waters are sacred, a covenant true,
Not sold for gold, nor bartered anew.

Through trials and tears, a nation shall rise,
Each struggle a stone ‘neath destiny’s skies.

What of thee, Canada, bold and free?
Lost in the haze of complacency.

Ideals adrift, chaos takes sway,
Beware the false paths that lead us astray.

When power is tested, truth is revealed,
A leader’s resolve must be steeled.

Behold Trudeau, diminished in frame,
A shadowed figure in power’s game.

The energy shifts, the balance untamed,
Adapt or perish, the challenge proclaimed.

Time’s fleeting grasp must not be ignored,
Neglect the ties, and they’ll be no more.

Though tech may twist, ‘tis man must steer,
Intent unguarded breeds chaos near.

The stakes are vast, the field is wide,
For strategy shapes both time and tide.

Photo-shoot fail: Biden, Trudeau miss traditional photo with world leaders at G2

RIO DE JANEIRO 

US President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau strolled up after photographers had already taken the official picture, as other world leaders milled about chatting after having smiled and raised linked hands for the photo.

The timing left Chinese President Xi Jinping front and centre among the rows of leaders posed against blue skies and blue water in Rio de Janeiro.

Portrait from previous sitting with the ever on time President Xi.

Biden and Trudeau arrived together at the designated spot for the photo, standing and looking about to join the group photo, a set piece of such summits.

It has been reported that the two were delayed because of previously scheduled portrait sittings with celebrity artist Court Painter who demanded the sitters remain still while finishing the rendering of his political subjects.

Court Painter did not apologize for his delaying of the world leaders photo op ,commentimg that paint takes time to dry and true heritage moments are not produced with a “picture snap!”

Crowning…

Donald the First, future Monarch of the United States of Autocracy

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith will be heading to Washington, D.C., for Donald Trump’s coronation  Jan. 20, 2025.

The premier’s office confirmed Smith plans to attend the Canadian Embassy’s coronation event, where she will watch the crowning.

The event will be a gathering of Canadian and American officials who are key to maintaining a strong and constructive relationship by transitioning negotiations from a presidental led republic to a Trump led monarchy.

The premier has also been invited to speak to a group of conservative monarchists working on fossil fuel climate denial policy in the United States.

She will also be using the trip as an opportunity to further build relationships within the Trump monarchy and will be pursuing a number of bilateral meetings and roundtables with all the kings men to advocate for Albertans’ interests with its largest trading partner.

It is expected there will be flurry of announcements soon from other Canadian officals regarding their attendance at the event.

Court Painter has conjured up in his stunning style of olde nouveau realism , memorable images to honour the Premier’s presence at the crowning event.

Premier Smith is expected to bring her favourite prairie dog as a gift to the monarch

Garland…

Reposted: November 15,2024

From a Court Painter post of  Dec.29/2021…

WTF is Garland waiting for….?

If US Attorney General Merrick Garland is asleep at the wheel of justice as lawless authoritarian forces hold democracy by the throat; then arguably AG Garland and his sleep walking of justice may be judged to have contributed as much to the erosion of democratic principles of law and order as Donald Trump and his Republican sycophants.
