Université de Montréal Philosophy Professor Daniel Weinstock’s open letter to English Canadians importantly articulates what has been happening here in Québec:
You may have heard that there has been some turmoil in Quebec in recent weeks. There have been demonstrations in the streets of Montreal every night for almost a month now, and a massive demonstration will be happening tomorrow, which I will be attending, along with my wife, Elizabeth Elbourne, and my eldest daughter Emma.
Reading the Anglo-Canadian press, it strikes me that you have been getting a very fragmented and biased picture of what is going on. Given the gulf that has already emerged between Quebec and the rest of Canada in the wake of the 2011 election, it is important that the issues under discussion here at least be represented clearly. You may decide at the end of the day that we are crazy, but at least you should reach that decision on the basis of the facts, rather than of the distortions that have been served up by the G&M and other outlets.
Swaying away from the art-posting for a bit, because the situation here is pretty messed up, dudes.

She’s comin’ along…
This is my current work in progress. I call her Leggy McGee; she’s two feet taller than me and likes to eat the drumstick. More photos to follow.
And for that, I’ll give you another li’l fella.
Hey kids, while you’re at it, remember that I’ve also been Tumbling over here yonder lots of art and videos and music that I like but I haven’t necessarily made myself. Magnificent Spot may be a ridiculous name, but then again, what isn’t these days?
… and here’s this baby a little closer up!
I’m also working on a big one. I’m not sure what it’ll look like in the end, but this is what it looked like when I left the studio.
… and from another angle.
