illiteracy on the rise…

Better juggler than a reader (file painting)

Better joker than a reader (file painting)

Seems national Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and United Conservative Alberta premier Danielle Smith share the exact same deficiency..they can’t read derogatory slogans on T shirts.

In an outstanding gesture of Stampede conservative solidarity both leaders posed seperately with Eric, as his name tag read, in his attention-grabbing neon green T shirt with highly legible letters reading on the front “Thank a straight person today for your existence Straight Pride” and “Good people disobey bad laws.”on the back.

It’s troubling that both Poilievre and Smith’s implied defence for posing with a person flaunting a not too subtle anti LGBTQ+message ,was they couldn’t read the T-shirt without a teleprompter!

Spokespeople for both leaders sputtered after the damage was done something about not agreeing with Eric’s message however the images have left the building folks and entered cyber hate space ,landing right where the bigots will undertake amplification!

Court Painter through the magic of his brush and in the spirit of togetherness brought them …wait for it…together!
