About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

But but but Hillary landslide if Canadians voted as 51 state, CBCnews....
Gag
I suspect that mural looked a whole lot better than the real Hillary would in such a swimsuit. I'm sure she's flattered.
Don't understand the uproar. 9He was very kind to her in the first rendition and depicted her with a waistline that she hasn't seen in years.
The artist flatters Hillary.
But I suppose the Council doesn't want to offend the next Prez of de USA.
Yuk
Threw up in my own mouth
That the council is avowing that the artist was not treating genders equally makes their reason purely political. The artist did Trump and wife naked also, lbut that's OK. However socialist libruls protect each other all over the world. They can lie and their lies don't count because it is in the cause of "protecting" their people and politics. Hillary is the patron goddess of liars, so they are forgiven.
I'm not a fan of graffiti.
"We contacted Victoria police to provide their opinion on the matter, and they deemed the mural to be offensive and in contravention of the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007, which council is responsible for enforcing."
However, it isn't graffiti if the building owner allowed it. In that case it was political speech.
It's also not the place of the police to opine on any such thing. The artist ether contravened the act or not.
It is for a judge to decide the matter, not them. If the artist contravened the statute then he should be charged and a judge should decide.
I hope the police are patrolling the beaches to make sure real live women aren't dressed similarly.
Oh wait, women wear skimpy bikinis on Australian beaches all the time.
I love that they put her in a burkha to resolve the situation. I would have added a serpent's tongue to compliment that story last week about that cavernous hole in her tongue (although kind of disappointed in conservative media in not pursuing that item further. Conservative treehouse had a good article on that with decent speculation on the origins of said hole).
I've seen photos of Hillary walking the beach with Bill, and I believe she was wearing a custom-designed Beach-Pant-Suit ... aka MooMoo ... aka Tent. I appreciate that she is covering-up ... but it is less out of a sense of modesty, than it is out of compassion for the viewer
Saved my personal copy awhile back. Oh joy!
I have seen speculation that the hole in her tongue is a biopsy scar, possibly a test for "oropharyngeal cancer" (Wikipedia), as per the condition Michael Douglas had, and all the news around that.
That was Hilary? Right.
As for offensive, I've seen hollywooders on the red carpet with less clothing.
Wait, how did Hillary managed to hide her scrotum in a bikini?
"I love that they put her in a burkha to resolve the situation..."
Actually, the artist did it in response to the council's threat of a fine, explaining that the image was "now a depiction of a beautiful Muslim woman. No reasonable person would consider this offensive."
Rather neatly skewering two modern pieties at once.
Heh.
