@LovesCanada8 Heard his hair started a grease fire.

@Ottawa_Traffic OPS not directing traffic. They almost never direct traffic when streets are shut down - just leave citizens to figure it out entirely on their own.

It was response to a letter I had written on the anniversary of the death of the Queen.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

Just checked my mailbox, I would appear to have a letter from the King.

Happy to have completed a dignified display case for the flag that flew half-masted from the Peace Tower at Canada’s Parliament on September 19th 2022 — the National Day of Mourning for the Queen.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

Wow, that’s a lot of flag! Thrilled to receive my 15 foot #CanadianFlag from the #PeaceTower on Parliament Hill. This one flew at half-mast on September 19th for the National Day of Remembrance for Queen Elizabeth II.

Sadly, art is the first discretionary spending to go when times art tough. Keep being a patron if you can - my favourite gallery is Argyle in Halifax NS #iloveargylefa Recent pandemic aquisitions: C Henrey and G MacDonald.

Framing an interesting photo this weekend: my father-in-law presenting a young #appaloosa to the Queen in Windsor, Ontario during her 1959 tour with the Royal yacht #Britannia is the background. #QueenElizabeth and Prince Phillip, horse lovers, had never seen the breed in person.

How God damn sad. The Molotov cocktail is obviously a Russian creation. Let’s hope they burn 100 times more intensely when thrown at Russian invaders.

@checkupcbc Carol - you join the Pantheon of Enrights, Maitlands and Buds. Listening to your interview with Mat Galloway - I think you have a lot of important work left to do.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

@checkupcbc Events in Ottawa are particularly galling since it is a city full of people who work, day in and day out, for the public good of all Canadians.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

@checkupcbc The trucker cry for freedom rings a little hollow in the land of “peace, order and good government”. Yankee style outrage can’t really be disguised as a Canadian thing.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

@CanadianArmy So long as he respects civilian authority and oversight, regardless of the government of the day, gung ho!

@aabwpg @The_CDR Complete with a beautiful Metric Commission logo on the cover.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

@NOconsensus Ahh, these trucker supporters are ‘veterans’ of what exactly? Some proud tradition of insubordination to civilian authority. There is no “military” without civilian consent, oversight and funding in this country, punks. This is the dictionary definition of sedition.

[Grant Johnson @eye_signs]

Sick of seeing our beloved national flag become a symbol of dread, brandished by the those trapped in their ignorance and selfishness. These grandchildren of the greatest generation (people who understood sacrifice for the greater good) are not even a shadow of them.

Kudos @globeandmail for continuing to keep graphic #design alive in communicating with your readers. Wish I’d thought of this one for #OlympicGamesTokyo2020
