So, the cold started. just *poof* suddenly, everything went below zero. Mwer. I love you Canada, but your winters are harsh! 

Been drawing my butt off, but getting nice results. I drew the witch up there for a calendar, and finished some paid comic contracts. I'm going to have a comic in the upcoming Womanthology "Space" issue. So be sure to keep your eyes peeled for it! Here's a panel featuring a pushy friend :



Aside from that, the news! Two things - first, i'm going to be on the news here in Québec. Some folks were doing a report on manga for the annual literature festival. So they came to the bookstore I work at to get some footage and explanations about it. I'm glad! Since, you know, usually manga is shown rather negatively on the media as cheap comics with no content other then fighting and sexing. It's good to see a report in the mainstream media talking about how fun it is and why it communicates so well to teens. 

Second, elections! Even though i'm Canadian and basically have no say in it, i'm glad Obama got re-elected. Political discussion aside (aka, not considering what both parties should represent), I honestly feel that Obama cares a whole lot more about America in general then Romney did. I mean... the Republicans could have chosen someone way better to represent them then THAT. Here in Canada, we basically have a lot of folks who really don't give a crap "ruling" us. So yeah... I'm glad. For those of you who are republicans, I hope your next candidate will be more awesome. For you democrats out there, congrats. 

That is all.

As some of you know, yesterday was an election day in Canada. Today the results came in, and they are horrifying.



Oh yes.



Nice voting turnout guys. Sucks that our election system is old and outdated. The Conservative party won, and has a majority in our chamber of commons. Harper won with support from less then 40% of everyone that voted. This year, the results are as they have never been, and it's horribly disapointing. Conservative have the majority. Liberals, the party that has controlled most of Canada for a good 50 years is now almost absent. The "Bloc Québecois" party is pretty much done for, which I find kinda sad. The party suppose to represent the priorities of the Québecois minority totally doesn't have the trust of any of the Quebec. NPD party is the official opposition to the Conservatives, which might bring up some interesting elements... But since Conservatives have the majorities of the official seats they will probably be able to pass a lot of the insane laws they have been trying to pass up to now. I can't believe Harper is back for four years. God. This is bad news for the Canadian art world that is going to loose a crapload of funding... And for gay rights too. And so many other things. Eeek.

I'm amazed Harper was re-elected. I mean jeez, his party was held in contempt of Parliament, that's why the election happened in the first place. They don't respect the system. They were held in contempt for refusing to disclose enough information about the cost of several big-ticket items. This is just going to not go well.....

At least I know I voted, so I feel like I at least tried. But i'm really unhappy with these results.

I'm really sorry, Canada. I am.
