Court Painter life sized decals and banners hope to have impact as social distance marker
Court Painter posed for his gentle but firm BACK OFF JACKASS !message to social distance! He forgot his mask but it’s too late now!
Calgary— It is a startling sight as you come across life-sized Court Painter decals & banners festooned on a pub in downtown Calgary.
Images of the award-winning painter & portraitist to the celebrity and political class can be seen on the sidewalk , tables, signage and fencing of the Ship & Anchor pub in the city’s downtown, using the imposing image of his six-foot frame (estimated) to make damn sure the customers maintain their proper physical distance at all times.
The prototype initiative was developed by Press Attache A Hardon MacKay, Court Painter’s marketing guru, with the aim of injecting some seriousness into physical distancing with a gentle but firm message and hopefully getting some free drinks from the fine establishment.He expects the prototype will catch fire and pave the way for demand by social establishments across the Great Dominion.
Court Painter is hopeful this public service effort will hasten the social behaviour necessary to flatten the curve of this preposterous pandemonious pandemic and return his former drinking hole to the ignore personal space clientele coziness (his words) ,he so cherished.
ChrystiaFreeland Should Act As PM While Trudeau Investigated For WE Charity Deal: Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to temporarily step aside and let his deputy, Chrystia Freeland, take over while he remains at the centre of another ethics investigation, the Bloc Québécois said Thursday.
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet made the suggestion shortly after it was first revealed by Canadaland that members of the Trudeau family were paid tens of thousands of dollars to speak at WE Charity events.
He added his party would offer “full collaboration” in Parliament with the Liberal minority government if Freeland temporarily takes over.
“Because for the time being, he cannot be considered as being qualified to keep doing the job,” he said of the prime minister, who is now being investigated by the federal ethics commissioner for the third time.
Blanchet’s endorsement for Freeland doesn’t come as a surprise. The Bloc leader spoke highly of the deputy prime minister , suggesting that it’s her time to shine.
“I had the impression of speaking more with a leader than I was speaking with Mr. Trudeau many times.”
Relatives, legal experts say Nova Scotia should begin work on inquiry into mass killing

“Strange Fruit” is a song recorded by Billie Holiday in 1939 and released as a single on the Commodore label. Originally written as a poem by Abel Meeropol . Holiday first performed the song at Café Society in Greenwich Village in 1939.
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop
Performing the song at Café Society in Greenwich Village,Holliday said that singing it made her fearful of retaliation but, because its imagery reminded her of her father, she continued to sing the piece, making it a regular part of her live performances. Holiday would close with it; the waiters would stop all service in advance; the room would be in darkness except for a spotlight on Holiday’s face; and there would be no encore.
With the pundits profuse touting of the Crystal Ball Futures product, Court Painter was doubly assured by the company literature that any paintings he created of future events through the aid of crystal gazing , would unfold as value added painterly predictions and hold up to any contemporary scrutiny in the future as it became present. Moving from the past where things were predicted into the future, the present has arrived and Court Painter has been forced to dump on the open art market, a series of past predictive images presently gone sour and of diminished value…currently!
“We undertook the use of the Crystal Ball Futures product in good faith as an aid in building up an Oracle Series of inventory based on crystal ball gazing and wishful thinking. We were proven wrong!” sobbed Press Attache A Hardon MacKay at an emotional press briefing.
He went on to say through a veil of tears that after this ill fated venture of predicting the future through art, Court Painter would now return to his traditional real time method of “capturing the present… the immediate,…the moment … the ever present…as we know it. The future sadly is for prognosticators and pundits not brush wielding practitioners rooted in the now!”
Note: Court Painter was obligated under the purchase agreement to include a Crystal Ball Futures product placement in each painting.

What we are used to seeing from this Prime Minister is Liberal MPs on the Justice committee enforcing a coverup in the SNC-Lavalin affair. We are used to the ethics commissioner reporting that nine witnesses with material information were forbidden from testifying by the Privy Council Office. We are used to this Prime Minister responding to the Nova Scotia killings by trying to tell reporters what they could and couldn’t report. We are used to a Prime Minister who has replaced Question Period in the House of Commons with daily briefings to reporters whose tone is deferential, who are limited to a single follow-up per question, and who don’t get to speak until Trudeau has announced the latest injection of dozens of millions of dollars into the national mood. Canadians see this Prime Minister, and they are used to watching him be the only person in a crowd who thinks he is answering a question.
That’s not good enough now. It’s time for a real inquiry with real powers to provide real answers to a slaughter whose central figure’s ties to the federal police force that took two days to stop him are in question. Now, please.

The Re-Decorating of the White House
At the White House on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Donald Trump and his family found themselves surrounded by a collection of museum-quality paintings, exquisite furniture and historic fixtures.
Trump — known for his love of grandeur and over-the-top living conditions and awakening appreciation of U.S. history– decided to change and update the residence while at the same time preserving the collection of Confederate monuments and statues that are flooding the market. As an added decor punch his private collection of flags festoon the halls of the White House. When asked about the provenance of the flags the President responded that they were all previously owned by “some very fine people.”

Most of the changes occured on the second and third floors of the mansion; the Lincoln Room and the Yellow Oval Room were to remain off-limits which prompted Trump to wryly note, “Not if I can help it.”
Taking advantage of his exclusive rights to make artistic use of the high-tech, light-reflecting paint Alt Right Bright White, President Donald J Trump gave instructions to cover over time, the entire surface of all the paintings in the White House . The result,is an ever quickening reminder to all citizens and guests what an enduring tradition the Power of White has had for the world’s Greatest Democracy. The Donald acknowledges this artistic program to Make America Bright White Again is a far cry from what citizens and tourists have come to love however he was swept in on a change vote and “change it’s gonna be.”

Trump will not work with a White House curator. “To ensure the previously tainted taste of the Alt Left does not continue to contaminate the people’s house; under my guidance the suppressed history and culture of these white men, many with their pet horses will be preserved because I know history bigly, museum collecting terrifically and I am on the Alt Right side of history.”
“ The White House is a special place, and the availably of the Confederate monuments and my flag collection demand a revisionist revamp of the people’s house. History cannot be denied.” Trump said emphatically.
VP Pense applauds every decor decision The Donald has made.
Of the many pieces of art traditionally associated with the White House: the famous portrait of George Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1797, and later saved by first lady Dolley Madison as British soldiers approached the nation’s capital and burned it to the ground.
John F Kelly was helpful with the new decor before he left.
In a move applauded by “some very fine people” Trump has announced that a larger portrait of General Robert E. Lee will be placed next to the George Washington portrait.
The Donald explains why the Robert E Lee painting must be larger than the George Washington Court Painter in front of what he describes as a very distasteful commission.
