The Political Circus! Puppets and Rookie MP trading cards will now be available everyday all the time at my new space in the Artisan section in the Byward Market Square (the building smack in the middle of the market) 55 Byward Market Square, Byward Market, downtown Otttawa. The fun starts February 1st.

I’ll be sharing the space with other women artisans. For February, I’ll be staffing the booth on Sundays. Come by and say hello.

Where is this? I’ll give you a hint, it’s Ottawa. I am about to embark on a new venture. Can you guess what it is?

Diefenbaker! For the last couple of months, people have been asking me for a Diefenbaker finger puppet. I was curious to know; why the sudden surge in popularity for this former PM? But I’ve figured it out. No, not the Diefenbaby (you know, the guy who claims that the former PM was his biological dad) but a carefully crafted public relations campaign by the Conservative Government. No really, in an effort to have us Canadians think of the Conservatives as the “Natural governing party” they have been promoting Diefenbaker. In the last 6 months, they have named building after him and doing other things to make us think of him as a warm, fuzzy Conservative. I think we are being fooled. I’m gonna do more research on exactly how…… I’ll get back to you.
