Want to see how this kitty was painted? It's on my IG account: georgia.toons

​It's the backyard bird count this weekend & it's easy & GOOD for you - go watch the birds in your backyard for at least 15 minutes.. it's proven relaxing.   It's the perfect weekend to get the kids involved- and it's FAMILY weekend - Holiday Monday! Go look at the birds and submit what you see to assist scientists in keeping track of what's going on and where.

You'll also learn how to feed, what to do to help the living situatuions of birds and other little creatures.  Birds are disappearing (as area all creatures)  but the birds & Bees are what keeps us going!  We are such egotistical creatures to think we don't need any help. 
The bluejays already visited for breakfast -thankfully, as I've been seeing fewer lately, due to the squak and cheekyness bluejays are not aften as admired  as other birds and they are  shot' at occassionally WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN CANADA and you can be charged with an offence.... not to mention 'just fucking nasty.  I feel the same way about HUNTING anything for sport'.   I thought it would be fun to do a timelapse for the birds today to bring some awareness to counting the birds!
This cat - so close he can 'taste them... cheeky birds having a conversation outside his  view.
Please keep your cats indoors or put a bell on their collar- especially with Spring here in a month - babies will be being born & they need help too.  
​
Time to go out & fill all the feeders, peanuts & count some more - it's natures meditation- Birds are also amusing.. just watch &  you'll see.

Can you guess what I'm making next? Photo below! 

'If the 3 kings were to bring Jesus gifts NOW.. what do you think they would be?
Would  he get the newest iPhone?  Ferrari?  Gold Rolex? Hell yes!
He's Jesus! & deserves the finest this life has to offer  - lol   perhaps.. BUT  true gifts I believe would be the gift of knowledge - represented by a book (for one) -not an iPhone thats going to distract him every 3 seconds and dumb him down .  ALL  the bling are just things.    Should the 3 wise men arrive this evening in 2018 .. I believe they would bring gifts that have been provided by God himself- natural Medicine  from cannabis for peace & healing to mushrooms (psilocybin) and LSD, gifts to open the mind to experience ALL that life offers.  Was blind but now I see...

In my own experience, I attribute my drug experience in direct correlation with  widening my compassion towards the rest of the world & becoming a more forgiving individual myself & thinking individual...  caring.   Before I would simply be angry - rarely considering the 'other sides opinion,  if anything 'now' I try to consider the other side' first..   If that isn't reason enough I don't know what is.  

I've just watched a documentary called the Psychedelic Pioneers:
The story of the psychedelic pioneers is part leading-edge medical research and part utopian idealism. Three gifted psychiatrists, in combination with an extraordinarily power drug, resulted in one of the most fascinating and controversial periods in Canadian history. Before LSD burst on the scene as fuel for wild psychedelic trips, it had an amazing, yet little-known history. A surprising part of that history was written in a remote corner of the Canadian prairies. Over a span of fifteen years, from when the drug was first administered in 1952 until it was banned and made illegal in 1967, the use of LSD ranged from leading-edge psychiatric research into schizophrenia and alcoholism to volunteer testing on the general public. As word of LSD’s amazing properties began to seep out of the laboratory, artists and intellectuals such as writer Aldous Huxley, filmmaker Paul Saltzman, architect Kyo Izumin and painter Ted Godwin began to experiment and travel to Saskatchewan to have their first experiences with LSD. The Psychedelic Pioneers takes us through the eyes of the three lead doctors involved in the LSD Saskatchewan Project.

I had no idea the documentary would be about a hospital in SASK. Canada- the the 'instruction manual on how to use them safely  for Dr.s & patients(still used today) was  developed by a Canadian. BACK THEN they KNEW it was helping.  Something occurred to me while watching this.. this TN, this condition that is unbelievable to live with  nicknamed the 'suicide disease' that I have lived with for over 7 years (and has consumed me to say the least most days in crippling pain)..  yes, I have considered death being a better option some days... because I think - I have no other options.. but WE DO.
What does it say about a Country that will allow you do discuss legal assisted death for pain before it will allow you to TRY LDS for pain?  

You might be in a situation where you don't even consider such things... thank God.  

I AM done suffering when I KNOW there are options & this new year I will be looking into ALL of them.  I am a 54 year old woman, this is not about getting high, I just want to be able to function, to run my house socialize with family, enjoy time with dogs, work in my garden & continue my painting.. thats' it. I just want a quality of fucking life - where I am not in agonizing pain  and constant fear from a condition that has me thinking I'm going to die several times a day- is that too much to ask? I think not. Will some judge me for it- yes of course.. will they be educated  on the subject - probably not. 

My son laughs when I tell him God has persuaded me - 'Have No Fear' as we go into this new year! & I DO not... quite the opposite, the 'strength I feel  more powerful that I've ever felt in my life, more confident & CONTENT.  It's the MOST powerful drug - when you truly believe in God, in good - in the universe & in my homeboy - Jesus!  
Happy Birthday Jesus!
If born today you would be given the Gifts your father created for the intended  peace & mind of all his children, that's why they are called 'WISE kings'. 

Did you know the Government really cracked down when people using LSD started to speak up about & against the veitnam war.. and we all know how that really went down.  

Happy Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday Jesus!

​Oh, & I woke up today & painted this cartoon:    Wall  or Ladder? Ponder this:

The Marlboro man is coming to Canada to smoke some Cannabis - Saddle up!!
The irony when you realize the battle this has been, understanding prohibition and watching the past few years  as this monumental shift occurs regarding cannabis. wow.
I find it incredibly amusing as you can see.  hee hee hee  

It ill be interesting how they market & promote cannabis compared to cigarettes.
*To promote sales to men, campaigns linked cigarettes to masculinity. The Marlboro Man, conceived by advertising executive Leo Burnett in 1954, aimed to enhance the male appeal of filtered cigarettes, which had a feminine connotation. Running from 1954 to 1999, Marlboro ads featured rugged cowboys on the open range, often backed by bold music, such as the theme from the film, “The Magnificent Seven.” Ironically, many of the Marlboro Men eventually succumbed to tobacco-related diseases.*

Cannabis in Canada - exciting times - blazing trails all over!
Canada - currently The wild west of Weeed.

Coins! Who doesn't have a special coin? A favourite? I don't know about you but as a Canadian kid growing up we often are given coins - I might not have appreciated them as a kid (you know how kids think... big deal - a quarter)  now those  quarters that had Mounties on them or the silver  moose are hard to find.  I guess so,  I thnk it's HIGH time for a new coin! A coin celebrating Cannabis and what it's doing  for the Canadian economy.   A new Million/Billion dollar deal done this week & the week before!  Amen.  

The IRONY in this industry is amusing to say the least! I'm smiling as I think of this now...
Corona and cannabis - I'm sure you've heard that by now BUT do you know
Who just bought into a Canadian Cannabis company - None other than the "Marlborough man" (& I thought of a funny editorial) the American Cigarette company - Good! They will educate people  provided they don't fucking ADD anything to their cannabis like cancer causing chemicals proven in cigarettes.
GOOD! If anyone can help educate on the difference they can.  Yesterday a billion dollar deal with a Mexican company! Alright- Viva Mexico! Let's all HELP each other GROW!  If that doesn't deserve a 'Fuck Ya!' I don't know what does.  The biggest irony is Shoppers Drug Mart now has licence to sell Cannabis, Grrrrr...... mamabear grumbles deep from within.. I remember when they not only said they 'would NOT' but bad mouthed cannabis- NOT that long ago- this gave fuel to doubters in my life and only added to aggravation.  Forget that, I won't support them they never supported us - PATIENTs back then.  I hope to see some dispensaries opening SOON! According to this article this is what they will cost:
http://dailyhive.com/grow/cost-open-retail-cannabis-store-ontario

I read about a mom in Toronto who does not want a cannabis dispensary in her own town.. **remember (guilt trip warning - which I'm fine with if it saves even 1 life) this when people are FORCED to DRIVE elsewhere for cannabis & they EAT & drink elsewhere, and shop in stores elsewhere & remember this when a car load of distracted teens goes to buy cannabis & gets into an accident - (which they already do texting & driving distracted - all the time, and they will because  they are teenagers - sadly, it's part of life) remember you force them to do this when you don't allow a Dispensary in "your" community & YET chances are there is an LCBO near by,  proven time & time again responsible  as a dangerous substance responsible  for more deaths & driving than anything else - do you see the absurdity of this - it's just IGNORANCE.   FIGHT it.  Adults deserve the CHOICE to healthier, safer options. 
This being said.. I am looking forward to trying cannabis beverages - that will be hitting the market . ;) Probably sold at the LCBOOOOOOOOoo $$$$$$  lol   The irony. 

*I'd also like to give a Fuck YA! & thank you to Canada Post while I remember... all the packages I sent last week are already driving at their destinations on the other side of the planet making several people smile - so -  Thank you!!! I'm very excited for one young man in particular to get his gift in the USA.. still on the way.

I read last week: 'Justin - just ike Daddy ' an article in the paper (not worth naming) I guess the author, referring to Justin Trudeau & his dad thought it was demeaning - the second I read that headline I thought... Fuck Ya.  Thank you Justin for  legalizing cannabis & lifting the economy. Justin is on the other side of my coin! Hee hee hee ;)   Thank You Canada 
Thank You ALL talented growers.
& those talented growers before them - for planting the seeds.


With TLC & THC Lots.
I like  THC in my  Cannabis by the way. It helps lighten the mood along with the pain.

Tis the season... SCAMMING season.   Norm & I decided it was time to  get some new furniture, we've had the same for 25 years and it's a little ruff from 2 decades and countless dogs, so we went shopping and splurged like we've not done.. ever.

We ended up at Leons in Newmarket while sampling a sofa I asked our representative with the thick accent (I love accents - men or women - I'm intrigued by accents.) when will it be delivered? "Two weeks" she said.. I thought.. o.k.', more shopping - we met work friends of Norms at the cash and I asked her AGAIN - when will it be delivered?
"TWO weeks" was her response again - Norm then asked: why 2 weeks?
She replied: It's at another store.  We all looked at each other- I can do two weeks I thought. I waited. 2 weeks. Two week came and has gone - no call BUT we did get something in the mail which now adds- it might be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. 

I called and explained -I don't care what the brochure they mailed 'at a later date' states, I was promised by a store employee (several times) "2 WEEKS" .   Had she said to me - "it would be anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks"  I would have said 'Thanks- I'll go elsewhere.' BUT SHE DID NOT-  *Apparently I am to blame - for NOT reading the FINE print when we gave them our money ( I also don't recall them asking us- 'Better read this fine print before you pay!)  SO if you're shopping at Leons - you better bring a lawyer I guess. WTF? LIES.   She KNEW I wouldn't get that furniture, I could hear it in her voice- do they scam just for sales? AND where is the furniture at another store that takes 2 weeks delivery? Are they making them as they get the orders?  I called head office & there was another sign- they did not call back- they don't care. I wish we new these things about businesses before we purchase from them.  I was going to call again today and say WTF is my furniture and WHEN can I EXPECT it? - First I took a detour to the BBB regarding Leons-  WOW- HOW are they still in business?? My GUT told me to call  and cancel EVERYTHING  & I did.  

Just from our short encounter starting with lies, to lack of giving a shit about customer service - imagine if there's anything wrong with your product, good luck. Forget that - ALL businesses - from furniture shops to dispensaries -  Business should care about the ones who pays the bills - THE CUSTOMERS.   I feel we've avoided a  sofa nightmare, we will shop elsewhere, somewhere where they actually might keep their promises & stand by their word. Fuck Leons - if this is common practice - they'll be the next to go under.

I reminded Norm we bought local at a family furniture shop down the road- later today we'll check them out again , I'm sure we'll have no trouble finding something family friendly and get it sooner than later.

I'm sharing  so others might avoid some of the bullsit we've already experienced. 
I feel relieved on this lovely snowy day..    it's all so unimportant - when I pay attention to the rest of the world... it's nothing.   It's stuff. It's Absolutely not worth getting stressed over.

 I do believe in the power of prayer - I'm praying for PEACE in Paris.

It's Black Friday.  Consumerism is killing us.
More dead birds.. More Oil spills.     This one in Nova Scotia- are you AWARE?
Tis the season.  Migration season - these birds don't have a chance.
Shop till you drop time.. 
Forget  this postal strike - Go OUT & shop locally!  Better yet- make a special gift.
Support your neighbours - imagine the impact that would make on your OWN home town/city.  
The impact online shopping is having is already noticeable, especially when it comes to excessive packaging. Noticeably bad for the planet.

We are all responsible for the deaths of each creature.
Is all this "stuff worth it" ?

This Saturday the Santa Clause parade is in town.. tis the season!
I call it the 'Squeezing Season' now, a season/holiday designed around consumerism designed to 'Squeeze' every last penny out of your pocket with commercial bombardment, social pressure and guilt.  Yes, we will have a nice Christmas, good food, fine wine & cannabis baked gingerbread cookies & hopefully good company - as for  gifts- we don't NEED anything  - I'm happy with just setting up a few trinket and enjoying what Christmas might still represent for us.. me.  Still, I LOVE drawing all things Christmas - especially reindeer.

This comic made me smile-  I hope it has done the same for you.. hee hee 
How else do you think they FLY?  & the stamina for the evening? Gotta be magic medibles. It's honestly in 2 parts because I forgot Dasher - lol 

I want to add Jim Carey is a very talented cartoonist! Editorial. I love his work, he posts on twitter - dumped FB - I feel the same. Absolute editorial genius - I'm not shocked!  He has inspired me to draw a few editorial myself.

Have you read about the RAPE of a young male student @ St. Michaels (all boy) Catholic school?  Expelled? BULLSHIT. Fucking LOCKER ROOM bullshit! It has to end - IF I had control I would eliminate the  football team all together, forever.  I hope  they ALL are EXPOSED for being the PACK of dirty ANIMALS they are - Imagine being a parent to find out your son took part in this, laughing and joking as they watch a FELLOW student raped. I don't understand how anyone can do this let alone a group of YOUNG EDUCATED men,  at this school that costs thousands to attend to produce 'fine upstanding'  gentleman - right. This 'group mentality' is WORSE!    So much for their '0' tolerance policy!  
0 football MIGHT set a better example.  I knew boys when I was younger who went to St. Mikes - they thought they were better than the rest of us back then.. perhaps they still do, clearly they thought they could get away with this sort of  behaviour.

I am  thrilled with this talented young Canadian artist!  Speaking up with her photography... thefirstnationscanada.com/2018/11/photography-student-sends-message-about-mmiwg-using-canadian-flag/   I saw her image and it made me hold my breath.  Bravo.  She too has inspired me to try to paint on a topic I find incredibly difficult.
It's not all cannabis, comics and reindeer.

The WWF stated last week: We have killed off over 1/2 of the animal population since the 70's...  and they don't think it will take that long to finish the rest.  WWF - WTF?
Animals have declined by over 60% - because of humans - between our pollution,  consumption - destruction of land- they can't win.  
With all that going on - add the most selfish humans of all... HUNTERS.  
Our Caribou is at risk - yet there are hunters who still take pleasure in murdering these beasts as well as our bears  and anything else they can 'get off' on killing -  why is anyone STILL permitted to hunt?
Are they doing it for FOOD? Are they cold and need the fur to make coats.. no, they are the ultimate sign in selfishness humans murdering innocent creatures for SPORT - for the fun of it.  Greed and 'Likes' on social media have hunters posing with their latest kills' - just one more reason I stay off of FB.  

I find myself wondering did 'that animal' belong to them, because I feel that animal belonged to ME & to the rest of US,  I'd love to see it to PAINT it- perhaps take a few PHOTOS & then LEAVE it for OTHERS to enjoy!!! It belongs to everyone on the planet  unless you bred, raised, fed and cared for it until YOU kill it. Except for the selfish fucks who KILL them so no one else gets to enjoy such majestic beauty.  Unless you are starving or your family is in harm there is no excuse - other than YOU are selfish.  If you can shoot a deer, bear, beaver for your own fucking 'entertainment' you are just like other greedy parasites on this planet that take what ever they choose with little value, respect for other living creatures.  

I have distanced myself from several friends who MURDER for 'SPORT' - happily, If you are one - feel free to un-friend me.  I instantly lose any respect I might have had for people when I see them posing with a dead beast - they clearly have NO respect for the rest of the population.    Unless you live under a rock & you are not aware of the destruction already for these creatures (which I doubt) - if you are aware and continue to kill - you ARE part of the PROBLEM.
 
If you murder animals for fun, please stay away from me  & my dogs I have no time for heartless selfish humans... today in the news  'Pink guns - found coming into Canada - I knew an American who was very proud of her Pink gun and matching accessories - Americans & your gun/killing mentality- I can't keep up with the shootings, is there anywhere safe for Americans for go? School, church, malls, movies, bars - GUNS kill and so do the people who OWN them.  I think things are going to change and along with the these shooters- hunters will start to be seen in the same light -  they get there first kill somewhere after all...  I wonder how many shooters of humans start with animals... isn't it a common trait of Psychopaths?  Yes it is - google.

With times like Trump...   Lest we forget.
War - what is is good for - death, pain, suffering, loss... heart ache.
If I painted a poppy for every Canadian who died in the war(s)  I would not have enough days to paint in my lifetime.  I don't agree with war but I am thankful for all those who gave their life to defend what they believe to be the better way.  

The poor suffer most in wars, the poor lose the most in wars - their lives.. still today - men return from war  damaged due to the violence they witness and are EXECTED to preform - look at he most recent PTSD shooter in the USA - and for what?  Still  - how are soldiers rewarded?  Most are not rewarded, they return and suffer with mental memories which haunt them for life, they struggle mentally, financially, with family and many- too MANY commit suicide.  

Respect is deserved, bow your head for every parent who lost a child to a WAR.
Be silent for every child who never hears a parents voice again - because they had to go to war - what for?   Now we live in a time where many are fearful of a war- caused by a selfish titan who rants on twittter and calls people names- president- no he does NOT deserve the respect to be called president. There is currently a war already going on in the United States -of America a war against anyone who the Donkey thinks is below him - pretty much everyone on the planet.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in France for Remembrance day & I've know doubts he will bow his head in silence to show his respect for our fallen and those who have perished  ALL over the world, because he's just that kind of person - not because he is  our Prime Minister.   I am grateful to those who fought to keep Canada as it is and the fact that WE STILL carry the image of being PEACE keepers around the world!  My mom will be marching in a parade tomorrow & will be carrying a flag - thinking about all she has known and lost including my dad - if you see her  - don't wave and say HI! - lol
​I don't want her tripping or skipping a beat!  hee hee  

100 years  &  how many lives do you think in total  lost because of war?
Rest In peace & Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice - lest we forget.

Can you tell me how to get.. how to get to Sesame St?
I want to live there... still.
Big Bird was my favourite after much consideration- I thought it was Kermit.. but perhaps it explains my love of Birds' to this day.. I think I'll call Bird "BigBird" he is getting heavier with his daily HEMP consumption.
Bert & Ernie out of the closet  and into the cosmos!   Where they belong.
​Are there two better teachers 'NOW/then' on screen to teach about a loving couple in a relationship, no - IMO they are the best.  Children only see two friends who care very much for each  other & live together.  Bert & Ernie are LOVE - simply that.
  
                Are they gay?   "WHO cares..."  should be the response.  

Who cares?
They are happy & they love each other.  They live together & make it work. WHO cares if they are gay?  I use to think they should be left alone- but now.. I don't care.  That is my opinion about ALL relationships NOW- I don't care as long as the person is happy/content.  Do YOU love /care for whom you live with?  Do they return your affection?  Enjoy.   

As long as there are two consenting ADULTS in a relationship - it is none of my business. 
If it helps a child to understand that two men can live together happily with love in their life - so be it!  I have no problems with them being gay if so... they were inspired by a gay man & his partner & he did a lovely job all these years.  Love is Love.

I am beyond thrilled to say my cartoon of only two days ago -NO LONGER applies!!
Fuck YES!  People can consume cannabis where ever cigarettes can be smoked without a fine - Our government has recognized this would be  unjust and only cause problems - no doubt!  Amen. Now, please don't be a dick:  Do NOT smoke around school yards or places it would bother most- common sense and respect for each other will make this an easier transition ;)  I'm getting so excited... hee hee 

Book Review- 'All the ever afters.'. about Cinderellas step mom- just finished it this morning at 4...  it was an enjoyable read especially the last part- it made me think:  it is the case with many - how what 'we hear -' we think we understand the full situation - and we often do not. WE rarely KNOW how others live behind closed doors.. that too is not my business as long as no one is being hurt- then it is all our business, especially concerning children.  
I recommend  this read.
