The Globe and Mail of Toronto, Canada's national newspaper, ran an editorial listing all 158 Canadian Armed Forces members killed in Afghanistan.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

Welp—CDC’s entire data team for its legendary national health and nutrition survey (NHANES)—our health census—has been laid off. Now we are flying blind to nutrition and chronic disease status in the U.S.—is this supposed to help us be MAHA? www.statnews.com/2025/10/14/c...

Et attends! Ça s’en vient! C’est terrible à dire…

2/2 Putin se met l’argent des contribuables dans ses poches et le partage avec ses amis oligarchs. Putin a tué combien d’Ukrainiens? Et Trump suit ces deux-là!!!

1/2. Moi aussi TiCoq — tellement! Mais il a un équivalent et c’est Putin. 35 millions de Russes n’ont pas de toilettes dans leur appartement, 45 millions de Russes n’ont pas d’électricité. Et s’ils manifestent, ils se font mettre en prison ou tuer.

BUG: Big Ugly Betrayal, sums it up quite nicely.

I’m listening to Laufey’s music, and she is so good. If you love jazz, you will enjoy listening to her music. She is a young and talented Icelandic singer-songwriter and musician. She is only 26 years old.

I was yearning to paint in colour, and perhaps I overdid it a bit, but it felt good for my eyes.

: Magnolia Haven :

I have been living in Ottawa for one year, and this Spring is filled with magnolias everywhere. So many blooms, huge magnolia trees, it feels as if this city is a haven for these beautiful trees.

Very happy their tour is doing well. Now, could the Democrats actually **do something** to stop the destruction of their country and threats to mine?

I always turn on music when I decide to draw or paint or try to stimulate my creativity. It sets the tone, it sets my mood, and it helps me to concentrate on my task. Today, while drawing, I listened to David St-Jacques’ “Avant l’espace” on Spotify. It always soothes me.

Inktober52 #11

I did my Masters in Higher Education, and my thesis was entitled Music, an Invitation to Creativity. I started playing the piano when I was very young, and it has been with me throughout my life.

Well, young university students, I might add, as people my age are still wearing winter coats.

I’m a bit late for my weekly Inktober52 prompt, but no matter, I’m catching up. The prompt was “daisy,” and it just felt good to draw daisies as Spring is at our doorstep here in Ottawa. Today is a balmy 11C, and people are walking in shorts and T-shirts in the streets.

The real truthfulness of all works of imagination; sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth. (Edward Bulwer-Lytton).

Sketching: Drawing from observation

Thank you for this article Jack. Well done and it must have been daunting to leave the USA when you were so young. Good for you!

First I thought of fireflies coming out of the moon, then an iguana with a lamp on its head! Then the saviour, the octopus, with his many hands, would guide the animals through the night, illuminating them with lamps. I was saved by an octopus, LOL -)

My Inktober52 challenge continues, and I am starting to miss painting in colour. So I guess I will have to find another day to do it. When I thought about drawing a lamp, so many ideas came to mind.

As I started to write it down, my husband came into the kitchen and said we should have cheese fondue soon.

My husband and I have been together so long that we often have the same thoughts at the same time! Today was one of those days. As I was planning the shopping, I thought of a cheese fondue with chipotle.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. (Henry David Thoreau).
