As we head into a new session of Parliament, our new government is focused on our core missions — to protect our communities, build our economy, and empower Canadians with new opportunities. 
 
Together, we’re building Canada strong.

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.
Photo of Prime Minister Carney in front of a podium at La Citadelle in Québec City, Québec. A quotation from his speech is edited above: "CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE BUILT A REMARKABLE PARTNERSHIP, IN THE ECONOMY, IN SECURITY, AND IN RICH CULTURAL EXCHANGE. BUT CANADA DOESN'T 'LIVE BECAUSE OF THE UNITED STATES’. CANADA THRIVES BECAUSE WE ARE CANADIAN.”

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Proud to have in my collection an exact reproduction of the Warren Cup in the British Museum. It is a Greco-Roman drinking up from the first century AD It depicts scenes of a pair of male lovers on both sides of the cup.

He loved him, but couldn’t say it. So he turned it into art.Felix Gonzalez-Torres was never allowed to live his love for Ross Laycock openly. In the 1980s and ‘90s, queer love was invisible denied, erased, forced into silence. So Felix turned grief, desire, and rage into artworks that speak without words, that show without exposing.A pile of candy. Two synchronized clocks. A billboard with nothing but a date. All holding the story of a love the world refused to see.Because unspoken love can become art. And resistance.

OK! Everything's in place. Now, it's all refinements on what's been put down.
Rock faces, all the landscape trees and the water all need enriching and clarification. Sometimes expressive brushwork, sometimes tight details. All keeping the light in mind.

Anyway, I'm glad it's getting there.

Mixed media drawing of St John's Street Cambridge. This one is not large and is on a sheet of thin card primed with gesso. It has touches of oil pastel with gouache rubbed into the surface plus acrylic ink applied with a dip pen (including white ink).

Mixed media drawing of Trinity Street, Cambridge with the railings of All Saints' Garden on the left and scattered bicycles propped around haphazardly as is usually the case.
