Court Painter engaged the studio resident scribe, Chastise Horatio Alas Thoughtbubble (Chat GPT), to fluff and flourish the headline sentiments with a dash of Bardic bravado for thine ear, eye and mind.
When Carney spake, his thoughts did sharply sting,
Of Alberta’s restless and divided ring.
“Hold fast thy sparks!” the wary voices cried,
“Lest separatist flames spread far and wide.”
Fair Smith now gambles at the nation’s brink,
Whilst Canada stands poised, pausing to think.
The Clarity Act, like a threat of enough enough,
Did Carney brandish ore the dangerous bluff.
Danielle doth dance with faces twain in hand,
One for the throne, one for secession’s band.
Carney well knows how swiftly tempests swell,
When wounded provinces rebel and yell.
Kenney paints visions dark as judgment’s day,
Where Alberta lone hath lost her golden way.
Smith backs the realm, yet her own court rebels,
And trouble deep within the UCP dwells.
A northern Brexit now begins to brew,
As anxious patriots fear the peace adieu.
Smith’s maybe hangs like pox upon the land,
A costly fever that none can rightly stand.

Danielle with Pandora’s box
