How can you tell when a snowman's 'high'?  
I'm not sure.. you should ask a snowman.  
He is high on life this snowman... as it should be.

Tis the season, I woke today with a blinding headache and then heard on the news some fucker threw his dogs out of his truck window on the highway,  why do things like this bring me to tears in an instant.  Who does this?   I hope that person never knows the  gift of a dogs love again.

A new documentary on circumcision  is on Netflix, I learned of this years ago but was reminded and have to reiterate, had I known then what I know now... so many moms crying Imagine your child losing his penis & you find out it was due to a botched circumcision a procedure that is not medically necessary - or even explainable any longer & you chose to have it done to your son.   *DO NOT google image botched circumcisions or you just might cry.  It's a business.   To find out they also hardly use anything for pain.. what a terrible life experience to force them to have only days after  blessing this earth.  Please watch this and consider educating someone else, please don't not blame your parents (one young man is  interviewed and is very upset but I understand his parents point also) -  I have no doubts that many parents had they actually KNOWN what was involved and why- would have chosen different.  I realized due to the documentary - we speak up much more against young girls being mutilated in the same way but give baby boys NO considerations to this decision in the USA & Canada.   I believe it should be a personal choice left for a young man to decide (if he wishes) at a mutual agreed age (what that would be I don't know) 15?  18? 21?  The same age we allow them to drink alcohol?  I'm not sure, you should ask  a young boy considering such things.

It's also a time to be reminded.. not everyone is having a happy time at Christmas, many are alone, missing loved ones, sick, tired, financial burdens, relationship issues, people throwing dogs out of windows on highways  - what ever- there are countless reasons to be depressed during the holidays - and then people have the added pressure of "It's the holidays!"   Don't cave to Christmas pressures - be good to you &  think of others who might be struggling & perhaps you might come up with some small way to make the time a bit brighter for someone else.

I wanted to paint something special in my new painting space..  my homeboy emerged.
Good.God.

It is when I am at my most tired and grumpy... there He is lifting me out of the  dark well & making me smile.  My imagined Jesus - I did not look at anything when painting Him I just enjoyed myself and expressed LOVE.  Thought about good times & people.   I WAS in the MOMENT. I was in the NOW, THEN.  hahaha.

Before I knew it I was sketching with a brush Jesus in the garden - the original HOME grown homeboy  -hee hee- growing Gods' medicine.  Cannabis is mentioned in  the Bible fyi. I added some tattoos because Jesus would be and everyday kinda man don't you think?  I doubt a suit & tie guy. ;) and will still add more as I go along, when ever the desire strikes me.   Inspires me.   Lights my spark.  Celebrating with Jesus because there is much to celebrate here in Canada!  Other than excessive packaging and shortages..  and Visually BORING packaging.    lol 

I love Jesus, 'No' -I'm not religious...  just as some love and are followers of The Kardashians (ugh), Brad Pit, Iron man.   etc...    I love Jesus.  He is my homeboy, rock star.. positive role model.  As real to me as buddha to others - he makes me want to be a better person and yes, I feel him close to me  several times during my life when I needed him most. Thank God.
Therefore HE is my saviour more times than I can count.

Someone e mailed  'they don't bother to pray because they're not sure they still believe'.
I responded: If I lose my faith I lose everything. I also believe 'Prayer  changes things.

We should never hate anyone simply for who they love, admire or put faith in..   the power of prayer will have this  guy know hell. This 'MOST recent' shooter in the USA was hate filled fuelled  by TRUMP, anyone who denies this is in the dark! Turn on some fuckng lights - the light inside of each of us... the spark- is LOVE & It can outshine Hate easily.  
Light the spark - GO VOTE. 

Want to see some looks of horror & disgust - wear a 'Make American Great Again' hat in Canada. Hopefully it's just a - in poor taste costume.

Now I have Jesus in my painting room- reminding daily to  SHINE! Do what you love!
& teach only love..  & inspire with art ...

VOTE.   VOTE. VOTE.
Please Jesus!! I believe in the power of Prayer!
Let Americans Make America great Again by VOTING out the DONkey.
Jesus & the Devil on the same blog page.. lol - I know who wins! Ha!
AMEN.

No better way than to spend the last few days of an August heatwave than to read a good book by the pool  & I can do that in my own backyard! Amen.   
This one...  all I can is:     I did not see it coming!! 
Read it in 48 hours- perfect beach/pool read as it says on the back of the book.
I highly reccomend it. Reading it at one point I became very distressed.. I experienced  a terrible 'altercation' by a man who once claimed to love me - what she experienced  near the end of the book & the author caught it quite well.  

It also speak about  lying humans...  abusive, controlling men in particular, people who PRETEND to be someone they are not... time will tell - eventually ugly surfaces-  and eventually it is exposed. I couldn't help thinking about how many women are fooled by abusive partners and how many go back into  abusive relationships with them - time & time again- even though they KNOW the person is nasty- usually because there are too controlled, insecure & abused to see past it - or too tired to admit it, mentally & physically.  When will they learn? Possibly when it's too late.  

I laughed out loud (in shock & amazement) recently when a girlfriend shared she's 'back with her partner'   -  the one who she caught lying and fucking around on her (several times)  & she tells me she's o.k. that he exchanges nude photos with other women & visa versa -  lol - I guess he talked his way out of it AGAIN  or bribed her well enough in this case..   & I couldn't  help think at this point...  You're pretty fucking stupid if you think that's all he is sharing.   What do you think?   Keep going back...  & at that point I decided no one can help those who truly don't want helped - stupid is as stupid does.  
I've no doubts it will end badly, time will tell.
Not my circus - not my monkeys.

This heat had me & the girls in the pool yesterday & today.. Ginger has had her official swimming lessons, when she swims to the stairs - she stops at he top and turns and looks at me - so she is not afraid of the water & that's part of it. I'm NOT complaining!  Fall is literally around the corner.

I designed a 'day bed' & asked Norm to build it, the back will be painted - I've included areas for storage baskets  & even a cubby for the dogs to sleep- lol  lets see how this goes.
I'm very excited as he starts this weekend...

Time to paint a Canadian Cannabis Painting inspired by a friend I met long go at our first protest... it makes me happy to see people I know doing well!!  especially those in the cannabis industry- i KNOW how hard some have worked.

It's time for  time out.  
Time to enjoy the last few lovely days of August with my girls in the sunshine.
Not continually watch that a POS who runs & destroys the USA. 
When I'm reading about people like #lauralee never  knew who she was until today  and watching her apology video - ( get the backlash... then learning about schools not letting kids attend due to their hair extensions in the USA? Black Children - Of course.
It is Unbelievable this is permitted to happen ANYWHERE in 2018.
WTF Hand maids tale here we come. 

B.C is burning and I can't help wonder about the birds, bees, bears...  and a few I kinda like who live there. I follow a talented baker with the cutest little kid on IG who lives in B.C. & I find myself worried about them.  We can't seem to get it under control - Many Canadians are praying for rain.  So is California.. Hawaii is not feeling very dry at the moment from what I'm starting to read - time out.

And this  poor women- God help her - taken Wednesday (clearly she knew her abductor) how many times is this going to happen to women.. how many women will continue to go missing?  Human Trafficking - women are the greatest victims yet we hardly talk about it.  & we don't talk about the Catholic Church Business right now and the children lives it's ruined  as we make plans to attend mass next Sunday. If you put money in that basket on Sunday you support BIG business - it's how I feel about it - NOW.   WE listen to drama like FAKE people who make money off of being FAKE & stupid in most cases.  People wonder WHY I get stressed when I see a beautiful young woman pose naked on IG  & even SHE gets upset with me  - instantly it's about "Body shaming" Fuck that!  I won't let her twist it around- - her body is beautiful- all women are - It's about  STOP & think about what the fuck you are doing! & anyone who thinks IG or FB has Not helped in the increase of aggression - especially sexually towards women has got to be in Wonderland with Alice. I don't need to be a certified Dr. to come to this conclusion - you?

Think about YOUR safety- Do you read? Are you aware of violence against women? OR how about  - (not 'aboot') think about the example for all the YOUNGER women who will think - in order to get LIKES they have to take it to the next level!  Come on.  & posted on a Business page but addressed my comment personally' and upset yes I saw it with a sexual reference' - hello - if you're going to get upset - don't post the photo.  I don't understand.. here I am worried she's going to get raped and she's mad at me for sharing my opinion. 
Honestly young women (ALL women) who share NUDE photos - ask yourself for everyone who  understands your point be it #freethenipple #nakedisbeautiful  how many perverts do you think are admiring them on and getting off on a  sexual level?  

Anyhow, between the news, nasty Americans..  I broke a finger playing with Daisy this a.m. 
 & Norm & I started the day arguing about having  a fridge full of food and he grabs 'cereal' for lunch, he can't even take a piece of fruit.  Why should I continue to care about his health  if he doesn't.
​
Head pain, twitch pain, brain pain...  It's time to TUNE out and go within. 
At least for the weekend. 

Ending on a positive note on my desk I'm about to start already has me feeling better about the day - I made the best (If I do say so) banana, blueberry - MEDICATED muffins- Heee Heee!  Thank God- Todays breakfast NOW with this finger especially. All FRESH ingredients- and then I made  and amazing (If I do say so- lol) blueberry maple orange sauce o put on top. Nom Nom (Photo below) & Ginger - big girl - can NOW come through the dog door  'into' the house! Yippie! She still has not grasped the same door lets her out - she scratches at the glass- lol I'm not going to encourage her yetI am looking forward to this winter  & snuggling with these two - Norms making me a new bed - Arrrrgh!  He needs to eat better!!    ...Time out.

Spilt any paint lately!?

Do you know what comes after a new moon? A new day. 
With cannabis comes cannabis education & realization.  
I've got several girlfriends now with parents suffering from diseases..  
Dementia, Parkinson's  and miscellaneous aliments all have them stressed watching their moms deteriorate - of course.  It hurts me to hear of them (I knew them growing up) suffering - know what hurts more - when I KNOW without asking these people are now on medications altering their brains and many (if not all) still probably were not told about cannabis as an option.  Many will be on a mix of chemical cocktails proven to kill before their time'.   The option that won't kill you from an accidental  overdose is not offered, YET.

I'm beyond proud of cannabis & Canada - I truly believe this is going to improve our health as a Country with each NEW day comes new awareness.  Cannabis is not proven to change brain chemistry-  make it one of your first options to try treat pain & depression, PTSD, anxiety etc? RESEARCH.   I've met many people who suffer from anxiety & it varies from person to person,  WE ALL have reason to get anxious - TRUMP.. I feel it myself- to the point I CHOOSE to 'turn it off' and focus on something else. I CHOOSE to focus on my art- force myself. If I don't & let it ramble in my brain all day - who is to blame?
Do you think Trump thinks about me  all day - lol. No.  (Ewwwwwwwwww)
Do you see my point?

Nothing bothers me more when I see a beautiful, talented young woman who is wasting her life - being anxious about what others think of her and  lets face it - that IS what it
is all about  most of the time (we are all guilty of it) - because if we had no one to impress - we wouldn't care.  There would be no reason to feel anxious.
The problem is  I don't have time for bullshit or excuses, I'd rather paint.  Sound cruel? 
Do you want me to say: Poor you, stay home, hide away, put on weight, don't live your life, never experience things, blame others for your misery, never meet anyone, never share experiences, never reach your full potential - BECAUSE that is exactly the lie i'd be telling 'if' I did go along with the lies I'm told...   & that would be cruel of me.  
Life gives us a million reasons to be anxious.    Choose carefully.

The older I get I also feel it is true- my grandma drilled it into me:
God helps those who help themselves.
I've got no problem helping someone 'I see trying'. It's that simple. We all have to try. 
Trying at art, acting, knitting, anything - LIFE!  
If I can help or possibly offer some encouragement I do... the moment I meet someone ready to blame the world on everyone else and not try- I lose all patience & quickly move on.    Oh well. I'm not perfect - never pretended to be. - lol - This blog is proof. 

Women are still behind men - in all ways - is there any wonder we do feel anxious?
 I 'STILL' know many men who think women will never be their equal and should NEVER be considered their equal.  That is their loss.  & no they are not cavemen and not all OLD.  It doesn't help when WE  STILL constantly see naked women plastered all over - encouraged to be seen as sexual objects  & the facts are THAT IS how the majority of those images are being seen (If I'm wrong about these facts & statistics - I encourage you to enlighten me)  not as "ART" or beautiful human figures, or goddesses- no they are seen as objects men would like to F*&^.   Fact.   I get frustrated when I see friends who post their boobs with #FREEthenipple - are you really all about free the nipple?  
Then another post follows.. was/is that #freethecrotch  too?  #Freethe asscheeks?  Come on! 
Please think about the younger women who will SEE, watch & follow in our paths and they already struggle with serious sexual abuse & rape - on the increased due to social media and this casual approach to posting nude photos and a swipe to the left. 

I can only hope with cannabis legalization will come a new attitude - no more boobs and bongs... ha- there will always be a boob & bong market. It's a new moon, new day and time for a NEW cannabis image - positive, beautiful, clean, healthy & happy! & Safe!
​Women- this is your opportunity to rise up! Take ownership and Prove:  
We are more than boobs!  Excited for the NEW day  with Cannabis! 
We are MUCH more than a pretty face.

The Tiki Show was a success!  A few TiniWeenieTiki are off to new homes this week!  Yesterdays was a lovely day-  We set up for the show in record time and I was home enjoying the pool while my pal pushed Tiki! Hee Hee Hee    Kat had a great time at the Tiki Booth- I thinks just likes to say "Aloha!"  She told me a few tried the game with success- good - because most think its too difficult - until You're 'hooked that is'.  

I must say it was nice to take a TiniWeenie break- and NOW my mind is full cannabis mode again...  Not long now!  I find I just wan tot paint positive images with cannabis- because it is a healing, helping plant.

Did you read about Monsanto? This was the best news I have read in a very long time!
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/10/health/monsanto-johnson-trial-verdict/index.html
I cried of  few tears of joy for this guy & the planet.  

Last week (just days before the Tiki Show) I was sent an e mail from someone...
in it I was informed: "And for the record, your art is not that great.  The only thing that makes it great is that you are so handicapped and you can still draw.  Its more like charity art.”    This same  woman told me  "my face is ugly" and others would be ashamed to be seen with me.  She even went to the extent to add "(YES UGLY)"  in case I missed it the first time.  Was I shocked? No,  because  I know who sent it.  
A seriously  mentally ill  woman - she's proved it several times over, if I shared details with you - yes, you'd be shocked but why bother - WHY give this "evil" any more attention at all?   

Did the art comment hurt - hell no. That I know is coming from a jealous,  insecure - uncreative person.  Making fun of me - ? - just like How Trump makes fun of people with disabilities - she is American - so that explains a lot.  
Yes, my disability is visual but hers is deep dark and hidden.   
YES! I am handicapped with these hands -it's beyond my control  & I AM proud I get out of bed EVERY day & continue to PAINT!  Continue to inspire and continue to be ME! Continue to put this "ugly face" & paintings out there!  Unlike some who just run around in their own brain trying to figure out how they can hurt others by causing destruction & pain.

The face comment- yes it hurt... it hurt because I know it's true, I know how I look when my face contorts and it hurts and I don't like it - so she was just being her TRUE, nasty bitch shelf buy sharing that with me. We all know how crazy some women get over lying cheating boyfriends, she's hurt and wants to hurt anyone & anything she can.  My face may be 'ugly' to some (my son thinks I'm beautiful, my dogs too by the way -   lol )   but this  woman - she  IS UGLY to the CORE.  

I'm grateful for the lesson. I'm more grateful that I had  an amazing conversation last night from someone I admire & respect, he simply reminded me:  
Rise above, that is not you - don't be dragged down to their level of low of shameful behaviour.  Continue to show your beauty through your art & smile - as crooked as it may be  because you ARE  love - ly.   

Today - I feel fantastic! ready to greet this day & paint! The TiniWeenieTikiShow show was a success! I even paid my handyman!!   & my friend Kat- made my day for several reasons- I'm happy we still call each other 'friend' after 30 years and MANY ups & downs.  People SMILE when they look at my art- what are you contributing to the world today?
Pain & suffering or Peace and pleasure?   Im painting  plants, pleasure & peace.

Thank you eveyone who continues to tell me I'm beautiful, I am trying hard to keep putting  'this face' out there.. I know what you mean & I appreciate the love but I certainly don't 'NEED' the comments to keep going...

I have God reminding every single day - I am PERFECT exactly as I am. 

Time to PAINT Cannabis!! Play with my girls, harass Norm - what can we make now!?!!
LOL    OH!! - I am designing my own new day bed! - he is building - Wait & see!! I saw it on line and it is way beyond my current budget- but Norm will make it and it will have even more value - custom made for me - with TLC.  Time to get busy!
Below a few photos of the tiki show set up.

With Cannabis legal soon - I took a break and had some fun painting myself a couple of Cannabis Garden Consultant Gnomes.   They will be my Garden Guardians - Cannabis security. Hee Hee   How will you protect your cannabis?  My friend Russ & I are excitedly  hoping more people will adopt a dog for the backyard, one to love and give a new home, friendship, companionship when working with your plants - have you seen POT dogs on Instagram? Between sensitive hearing, barking & quick ability - dogs are great security.  ;D  I personally don't think stealing is going to become a big problem,  if everyone is permitted to grow 4 plants.  I painted these at 'Crock A doodle' - the fee includes   your choice of ceramic, paint and baking..  I highly recommend  you visit with your kids & get creative. Currently painting my own rolling plate, stash jar & accessory plate. 

We wanted to adopt a "local dog" & was directed to a  site ('mislead' is how I'd describe it)  only to find out the dogs are being brought over from other countries when I asked why the $600. fee ? I got a reply/judgement that started with "People don't understand..."  blah blah blah and still didn't get a PROPER explanation - then I find out this same person has  additional *Gofund me pages asking for $1000. to bring the dogs here - wow-  $1600. for a mut you don't know anything about.  Some business.. I wonder if she gets to writes off travel expensed being an Inc. I asked her - but of course got no reply.  Everyone knows how I feel about DOGS, I dream of rescuing dogs that might end of as food - BUT - I don't get it... this bringing them over and then charging so much.  It appeared one dog was rescued from a lovely outdoor tropical  shelter, nicer than most I've seen here. WTF?  
Do you know how many DOGS are put to death in Canada?   GUESS!
***At least 600,000* dogs in Canada are euthanized every year (500,000 in Quebec alone)…..There are thousands of dogs waiting to enter rescues in every province and sadly, many Canadians seem blissfully unaware of our homeless dog overpopulation.
Do you know how many dogs could be adopted HERE for the same amount of money?
What about the environmental footprint of flying dogs here? Do these dogs from other countries  bring diseases we might not have with our dogs? How do you get these questions answered?  I got no answers from this "professional" dog rescuer - What she did do was call me a  "loser" in her e mail...  because I wanted questions answered? That speaks volumes.
Please rescue a 'local' dog. Dogs here will be put to death - if you want to do something 'cool' - how about adopt 3 at a time for the same amount of money!!?  If wanting to help at home first makes me a looser...  so be it.   
I did get a few questions answered HERE- and it appears I am correct o be concerned- Please STOP bringing IN dogs from other countries!!  These people should be stopped on the fact of the infectious diseases alone brought to our country by some of these dogs.     

​The news focus this week on Justin Trudeau jogging shirtless on one of the hottest days of the year, people chime in saying "how embarrassed they are!" - OMG... really? lol Are we really going to judge him for being healthy? Promoting healthy habits? Removing his shirt on one of the hottest days? I had mine off... thank God I can't be seen jogging.  :D  Compared to other world leaders.. hmmmm no need to mention WHOM. Is this how we support our leader?  It's as if fox news takes over - bravo 'journalists'.  
How about every man on the planet who takes his shirt off in this heat - many not in the best physical forms- do we shame them?  It's shameful.     
As for the #metoo - it sounds to me like he already apologized for something did when a lot younger- Imagine if every man who EVER groped a woman un warranted had to apologize- it would be nice, I'd get several phone calls.   How about you? 

Do you remember what it was like to leave your child  at the babysitters and they cried - how heart wrenching  you felt leaving them...  Imagine immigrant children.

I get it.

Have you watched 100% hotter?  
It's all about beauty & the beast. 
The beast called BEAUTY' .  
Insecure, lonely, sad beautiful people - afraid to be - themselves.  
What will happen when make - up doesn't cut it anymore? 
Your guess is as good as mine...
I guess they will follow Anthony's footsteps  sooner or later.

Afraid to leave their homes, afraid to interact with others without the mask.
Who are you?  Can you be seen as you truly ARE?  Hmmm? 
My mask is off... with it came off the rose colored glasses. 

Thinking about Anthony, all he witnessed, lived, tried... tasted,   I get it. 
It's enough to put a sour taste in anyones stomach & he was witness more than most.  
Suicide is still taboo - because people do not want to admit they ARE part of the problem.  We are all part of the problem. Have you watched Audrie & Daisy?
 IF I had a daughter I would sit her down & watch it with her  & TALK about it.
*Talk about Alcohol while YOU are at it.  It is a common denominator.

In a world FULL Of humans - to feel so alone... this is the problem.
What does  'it' matter? The money, travel, food.. all stuff.
​All stuff that does not matter when you constantly witness cruelties against each other, he was aware of this #metoo thing, if I had to guess - in all his travels,  he's witnessed more than most and was just tired. I get it.

I am so tired some days.. mostly due to this condition  attacking the right 1/2 of my body, from head to toe - spend an hour with me and you will witness it, I guarantee. I've even doubted my ability to travel lately, France seems so far away some days,  traveling to the mailbox  feels like an adventure.  The constant reminders that so few understand or try to understand  if what frustrates me the most, I therefore enjoy days of solitude -where no explaining is necessary. This past weekend I was alone ALL weekend and felt very refreshed at the end of it.  I was very much in the NOW.  
I have had 'family' throw it in my face..  which was a terrific lesson- You should learn to walk/run away from people - get them out of your life 'FAMILY' is just a word- not everyone deserves to BE in your life- no matter WHO they are. 

With examples like Trump running 'the show' my trust in humans diminishes daily.  What if Trump attempts to commit suicide & decides to take a few countries out as he goes?  I think he has clearly proven how unstable he is in countless ways..   
Anything is possible - clearly he is president after all.

Yes, this painting depicts how I feel, physically.
I'm sorry my son knows how I feel above all else.. but he also understands events in my/our life &  how 'I got this way'.  He KNOWS I try every day to be better, to be positive to be love...   to just BE.

I don't need or want pity- this is more or less me  "coming out" because I KNOW I am not alone, I KNOW many feel like I do.. I know some young ladies in particular feel exactly like I do & have  a harder time NOW with social media- it's an entirely new level of added pressures for most.  

Watch Audrie & Daisy- worried about your kids and cannabis?
Watch Audrie & Daisy and learn what you would be concerned about.
My art has saved my life time and time again.  Focus on your passions.

I do often tell people  "If not for my brain pain- my life would be perfect.."
it's learning to LIVE with the PAIN.  So far so good. 
I also have  incredible Dr.s  who Listen & TALK and keep me here without antidepressants' & remind me: I do have reason to feel the way I do.. it's NOT all in my head.
 
I know I push people away - constantly.
Some look forward to it- then they don't have to SEE what I am living with. 
For those that remain thank you for your understanding & love, all others..
​
Fuck you, you're not worth the mental energy I could be using towards painting.

Suicide rates are on the increase with Canadian women:   I get it. 
​globalnews.ca/news/4274136/suicide-rates-women-men-canada/
Clearly, I AM not alone.   
For now... I am in good hands.  
So is Anthony.
Gods.

Back to Sloths & cannabis next.. back to painting what makes me smile.
Thank God.   Make yourself SMILE.

Dear Anthony - I get it.
Your call.

I've recently discovered this Japanese artist on Twitter..
Go here:
https://twitter.com/avogado6   
His work displays how many of us feel at times during our lives & it's not always enjoyable these are some powerful images.  

It has inspired me to work on some drawings of my own.
It's a way to deal with the issues and educate - doing what I do best.... drawing.
Painting can also be part of a specific healing process, I'm not sure about other artists but once it's OUT on paper it's out of my mind and life goes on.. I guess a drawing purge of sorts.  I drew countless images over the years afraid to show them- not realizing how many  would actually 'relate to my drawings.  We are not so different.
Maybe that reason alone is helpful for those who can't put into words what they are experiencing. 

Viewers be warned. It won't be your usual bear, sloth work.
Tomorrows painting is titled:                   Dear Anthony,  I get it.


Ending on positive note.. my son visited yesterday (with Burger priest for lunch) to do laundry and an oil change, it was nice to just sit in the driveway while he worked, the girls on the front lawn as we all listened to city adventures.  I can hear the appreciation for the best of both worlds Storm has at the moment.  Daisy was thrilled and laid more of a guilt trip on him when he was getting ready to leave that I do! LOL   It's good to be loved.

A friend sent me an e mail showing my website BLOCKED  in the USA  (New York)
Reason given Category : Abused Drugs.
This is what is happening in America right now.
Have you seen the new documentary on Netflix about Social media & privacy?
How the CIA is breaking down doors of 12 year olds and putting tourists in jail for posting derogatory remarks about Trump?
You will only be shown what they want you to see. 
Where is democracy going?
Free Speech.

 

Does anyone think this is going to get "better" - let's face it.. Trump is jealous of Trudeau
look at him, it's obvious and jealous of his style - sock envy.  It's going to get worse.

Trump is no more than a bully and his insecurities are glowing around the world  & his American advisors  jump on the band wagon-  "A special place in Hell"  for Trudeau-, wow.. whats up America?  Is this the American who believes in God then? Phhhhbt.   The one that is against other things like 'Thou shall NOT kill?' But sells & owns more guns than any other  country -  when was the last school shooting - so many I can't recall.   Hmm,  I'm sure there is a special place in Hell - and it's not for Trudeau - chances are its for a racist, pussy grabbing, selfish, hate feeling, LIAR, wall building bully. 

What's happening here..  how are Canadians reacting?

Canadians are not too thrilled with this latest performance put on by your "president" Eh. 
Are we bitching about it- a little..    it's great Americans are saying #thanksCanada  trying to make up of the actions of the biggest bully on the planet. Isn't that sad  alone - the USA is represented by the most hated man who is also the biggest 'bully' amongst other things..  He's not taken seriously any longer, his lies documented daily.
He is only seen as a BIG JOKE, who is all about greed. 
It appears  he is not capable of caring for any one other than himself.
Not all of us are as diplomatic as Trudeau - please.  Enough is enough.

What are Canadians saying?  It's not what we are saying - it's what we are doing.
It's Simple  & obvious...  Hurt Trump where it hurts him the most:
Bye America...  because here right 'now'  many will only BUY Canadian.
           BUY Canadian.  

Why would any sane Canadian continue to support TRUMP & all he greeds for?

Ironically the last few purchases I've made have been from the USA, people (artists) off of instagram - because I love their work- I like them  but come on, enough is enough..  when will Americans stand up to him and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!  
If you won't support us or yourself by standing up to this menace - we won't support you with our dollar.  Would you?
Would you support us if Trudeau said the things your "President"  & his paid cohorts spew? 

In one way I feel sad for those I have been supporting (they might not agree with what's happened) but in all reality anything I have been getting in the USA - I CAN & WILL find the same service, goods made right here Made in Canada.  Every store I enter I'm asking "what's made in Canada?"  from Dog treats to produce to our new furniture.  
NOTHING USA until you get rid of that ASS.  
Do Americans think they will come out unscathed regarding these Tariffs, will they continue to support Trumps Tantrum Tweets?  Time will tell.

We Canadians do have reputation for being nice, kind - I believe some mistake this for "Weak" I believe they will soon find out the two are not the same.  

NOW with Cannabis I see a lot of Americans venturing up here wanting to do business - yes, I guess so - a couple remind of Trump - GREED is the main goal- do some research- who will you invest your Canadian Cannabis $$$ with?  
Please consider - it might seem insignificant 'little purchases" but they are far from it.  
They add up.

​People will treat you as you let them.. Trump will treat us - as WE let him.

Hurt Trump where HE will notice it most.  
BUY Canadian.
Don't mistake our kindness for weakness...
