Sure my post pizza plate is equal parts dejection and massacre, but I have standards.

I’ve been trying to figure out a good metaphor to explain my feelings on “All lives matter” and I think I finally found it!!

If you share this, please do not use the BLM hashtag as that is for POC voices. Thanks!

I can only try to understand what people of colour are feeling right now. I am sorry that the justice system has failed you so flagrantly and repeatedly. I stand with you.

Wearing a mask does more to protect those around you, than it does to protect you. So when you fight wearing a mask, you're not choosing to not protect yourself, you're choosing to not protect others.

I'm not saying wear a mask when you're outside safely distanced from others, I'm asking you to wear a mask when you walk into a store where others don't have the freedom to walk away from you. A mask tells that person behind the counter that you respect their sacrifice and care for their safety.

It's not a political thing, it's a human kindness thing.

When a casual walk in the park turns deadly. This should be level one in a video game where the final level is grocery shopping in skinny aisles with a close standing boss that you have to avoid to win. The covid Pac-Man if you will.

The key is spotting the pigeon early on in the conversation, to save your breath and sanity.

Also is it just me or is “shitting all over the board and walking away like he won” feel like Trumps over arching presidential strategy?

#2 in my Women in Trades series... Kanchan, a Senior Engineer from Toronto.

This is an experience she has faced many times, but I have taken some liberties with her response!

She is keeping important city infrastructure projects going in this unprecedented time, and is a big reason Toronto is the cycling utopia it is! Thanks Kanchan!

This might be the most important comic I've ever done. If stops even one person being a Covidiot, my job is done... #LetsEducateCovidiots

The COVID-19 fear is hitting hard, particularly in the TP aisles for some reason.

I’m starting a series profiling different Women/Trans/ Non-binary in Trades, with a comic based on real experiences they’ve had (With a little comic dramatization of course!) 

This first one is inspired by my girlfriend, who is profiled above! Just a little something to help us see the difficulties her and others face on the daily!

If you are a woman/ trans person or non-binary individual in a trade, please send me your stories and if your story is selected then I will be in touch to get a profile pic of you at work to include with the comic!

It's a love/hate/love relationship. He LOVES her, she HATES him, and we would LOVE to get some sleep.

Every day my girlfriend goes into work, I wonder if she will return still gay and/or my girlfriend. The competition is fierce.

This is not a real scenario, but expresses how ridiculous the standards of Asylum are under WPP.  Please listen to this shocking episode of This American Life , that led to this comic. The Asylum Officers themselves are challenging the legality of these interviews and the statistics are astounding: 11 applications approved vs 60,000 Denied in the first year?? For those who support this new program, I would challenge you to sit down in one of those interviews and experience the people behind those numbers.

Please educate yourself and get angry.

If you are a master of the outdoors, a true survivalist, one with nature - DON’T READ THIS. There is a lot of failure.
