Did that redraw meme with PEI and Nova Scotia. He looks completely normal while she looks like a demon.

I did draw a version with a caption, it’s down below:

I couldn’t figure out what to use, so I used a potato :')

PEI is known for potatoes, right?

Condensed Milk - A Dirty Money Comic pt 16

[part 1] [part 2] [part 3] [part 4] [part 5] [part 6] [part 7] [part 8] [part 9] [part 10] epilogue: [ part 11 ] [ part 12 ] [ part 13 ] [part 14] [ part 15 ] [ x ] [ part 17 ]

will this comic Ever end???

I was blocked on this for the longest time but Justin's resignation kind of reminded me of the spirit of the thing again and I realized, wait, we haven't really explored what pushed Bertie to board that plane and show up like a wet r*t on the doorstep. Any excuse to draw more prairie bros :)

(and you know, not that this comic takes place in the present day any longer with how slowly I've been adding to it, but you just Know bertie is one of Those Guys who bases his entire personality around hating Justin... even after he's gone...)

some notes and explanations where I think of them

sorry sask i can pick on you because we Both have annoying premiers, ours is just louder (although this flashback represents [groan] simpler times)

back at u of t when wexit was big in the news, the western canadian contingent of my cohort formed a group chat called wexit and "let's wexit on out of here" became a common phrase during our trip to ottawa, so it's stuck with me lol. Fond memories of showing our Ontarian classmates our shitty Alberta health cards at their bougie rest stops.

BC isn't real. would a person who's definitely not hiding in BC say that? Maybe.

I did try to think of spicier insults than "liberal" but the only one i could think of that wasn't gross was hypocrite and that didn't fit contextually, sigh sigh. but it remains an enormous insult in alberta at least ahaha

i feel bad for putting mani through this but in a short time from this comic he will have a premier everyone is jealous of. hang in there, mani...

obligatory reference to bert's og bio where he gets drunk and sleeps it off at 24 hour tims

the flashbacks include bertie kissing the cod / getting screeched in, playing hockey with ben and the rupert fam, skiijoring in banff, regatta day in st. johns, checking out borealopelta at the royal tyrell, and a quilting bee with the atlantic coasters

HE DID MAKE THE SHORTBREAD WITH HIS OWN HANDS!! i think bert is the guy who doesn't know how to cook rice BUT he can do shortbread/pie crust really well. Trust me.

something something i spend enough time torturing bertie i need to remember him happy so that i can also remember to be happy in these Trying Times

joel and marie are doing something crazy

(although marie is not fully immune to spiciness, these extreme stuff is tolerable)

So I tried to create IAMP Nova Scotia in the style of a CGI character on an AI image generator, and the results were... somewhat accurate?

I used NightCafé to generate these images.

Nova Scotia Finance Minister Allan MacMaster is leaving his position to run for the Conservative Party in the next federal election. MacMaster, who was first elected to represent the Inverness riding in a 2009 by-election, announced he will be running in the Cape Breton-Canso-Antigonish federal riding for the Conservatives. “I will be resigning from cabinet and will remain as MLA for Inverness but will resign my seat should I win the nomination,” MacMaster said in a Facebook post. “I will also do my best to help elect a PC candidate in Inverness to be part of Premier Houston’s team whenever the next provincial election may be.”

from my experience with laptops it sounds like 1. your graphics card is dying. 2. the battery and/or the power supply is failing. this isn't your fault of course. laptops are just too small and the parts eventually fail because they generate too much heat. i recommend building/buying a pc based on baldurs' gate 3's top specs. you can get a ryzen 3600/(nice upgrade would be a 5600 or 5600x) 16gb (3200 or 3600 speed) ram/ b550 motherboard/ 2060 super (or a 3060) /1tb ssd/a pc case, and a 550 w psu for a reasonable price on ebay. i've also seen if you look up "2060 super desktop pc" on ebay they go for very reasonable prices too. the increased size of the computer should help your game performance too. the good thing about pcs as well is you can upgrade them as you need to. ^ this is my experience as someone also struggling with income. people make pc building sound so complicated but it is actually more consumer friendly than buying a premade pc or laptop. especially if you buy the parts secondhand. this is just a baseline suggestion. you can even get 32gb ddr4 ram at a good price second hand which should help with your art and gaming. and you can upgrade with more storage. either a 2tb ssd later.

As much as I'd love a desktop PC, I live in rural Nova Scotia where we lose power a lot. With a laptop, I can still use it without power for a short while and take it somewhere to get charged if necessary.

But judging by what you said, it sounds like I need to take out a loan and get a new one for sure, then.

EDIT: Hey anon, do you know anything about reading this?

[callieee-3110]

My intro, so you can know me better!!

What's your name?

My name is Isabella, but online I'm Callie's Clone! Using my regular name sounds weird to me, but I'm also referred to as "kid" so I don't know whether to complain or not.

What do I identify as?

I identify myself as a girl, She/her. When I was young I had a genderfluid phase for no absolute reason after I found out the 2SLGBTQIA+ existed. Please do not mention the phase or I will cringe to myself.

Where am I (from)?

I am from Nova Scotia, Canada: The only place I've been to with the most bugs EVER.

What do I like?

I am currently interested in Miitopia for playing as my OC "Star", Splatoon to save Callie from Dj Octavio for the 10000000'th time in a row, TotK to simp over a fish man (Sidon), and for non-video game things: I like singing to Off The Hook songs, attempting to draw (and failing), and eating yummy foods!

Favorite Movies, books, and TV shows?

Personally, my favorite movies are Boo York Boo York (it got taken off of YT 😭), and Haunted (another MH movie that ALSO got taken off). For books, I get a good laugh out of the Splatoon manga books, and for Tv shows: I don't usually watch any.

Pets??

Sadly I do not have pets other than a dead Guinea pig named Charlie. But if I was able to get another pet, I would get a brown cat and name it Spruce whether it was a girl or boy. I just really like cats 🌟.

What ACTUAL people do you like for music?

For actual bands/people, my favorite has to be Melanie Martinez (Three whole albums + a Portals tee + Crybaby necklaces).

Fun facts/Any more info?

Fun fact #1: My parents are divorced, but I still love my dad. Fun Fact #2: I can probably eat an Aero bar in under 30 seconds (or less :0). Fun fact #3: My favorite food is PC's Pad Thai.

Character Info Sheet

● name ; benjamin haywood ● name meaning ; "son of the south" and "hedged forest / enclosure," which is an utter coincidence on themes. incidentally, his sister's name is landyn thorley which apparently means "long hill" and "thorn meadow." and yeah, haywood was his mother's maiden name. ● alias/es ; benji, benny, lewis (like the flax), 0013 (the agent), cursor, blue bird, and various more nicknames. he gets a new one every time with a new verse ! ● ethnicity ; white boy ! although more specifically new acadian, so, mixed from when acadie folks fled from nova scotia to louisiana (1750s). ● one two picture(s) you like best of your chara ; benji does have a fc, but we're just going to stick with original art. (including both so they're not as big. art's by my cousin soul <3)

● three h/cs you've never told anyone ; CONTENT WARNINGS FOR MENTIONS OF SUBSTANCE USE, ALCOHOLISM, CHILD ABUSE, AND IMPLIED SUICIDE. 1.) despite how he maintains appearances to the contrary, benjamin doesn't drink or get intoxicated whatsoever. won't touch the stuff. his father was an alcoholic to start, and was abusive; his second wife, landyn's mother, unfortunately brought hard substances into the picture which exacerbated the behavior. after benjamin gained custody of landyn and they cut contact, her mother actually overdosed and died; and their father drove up the wrong side of an interstate highway and killed himself. benjamin, of course, did not let landyn know about it. he reasoned that she was thirteen at the time, and didn't need that on top of going to a new school twice in one year and dealing with the horrors of puberty. (she'll be pissed when she does find out.) 2.) isn't a good shot in most verses, actually. tends to focus on practicing other skills (ie. mechanics, hacking, networking) related to the jobs he's got. (exception for p.rototype; he's blackwatch. blackwatch gets rigorous training.) 3.) loves pecans an inordinate amount. just like, a whole ton. a lot a lot. if he's carrying a snack baggy in his pockets, it's probably pecans or a trail mix with pecans. pecans ! ● three things your character likes doing in their free time ; cooking/baking, spending time with landyn, and going to the beach. ● eight people your character likes / loves ; he loves landyn. in some of his alternate canons (ie. o.verw.atch, motw), he's liked t.racer / l.ena o.xton from o.verw.atch, and he's liked a couple fellow pcs from motw. and he likes @tewwor's character clarence <3 they're buddies !! ● two things your character regrets ; never being a better person, and not always being there for landyn when she needs him. (eg. missed birthdays, couldn't be there for her first breakup, etc) ● two phobias your character has ; scopophobia, emetophobia.

Looks like this is going to drag on to April 15th 2025 so it is the rest of January and from the 20th to February March April and then that's it so it's really almost 3 months. In that period our son has to make another amendment of something or to go back to his original apartment. And it's probably both not really pleased with the apartment but that might change we think that the timing on Darth Vader is faster than people think and they lose California to Trump in Texas a surprise. There's a pretty good war over those States and even PC on the starkiller being destroyed and used weekends that our son and daughter think that he holds the base do you see in Washington and Oregon and he's expanding in California and it was a mistake it is true but he's severely weakened in BC he didn't have these bases in the in the redwood forest and other places and he's trying to bolster it and grow and so forth and create a buffer and have influence and it's not stupid but yeah it leads them to it and we think that Trump overruns him in the British Columbia and overruns Jason and Harrison Ford shows up to fight in California and that doesn't make a ton of sense but they defeat them and we think that it's Trump as Harrison Ford as a matter of fact the first solo is before that and it is Trump Harrison Ford we think takes over the role later on this is important it shows that the West is falling to Trump and he starts to flow in to the entire West and we think it's because of the Guatemalan canal opening and this will straighten things out a little and the whole canal opens next week after Jason gets out and it forces tons of them up into California he tries to take over the bases and just place everybody has usually does it's a big mistake and it starts it on them it's a huge error and we think that's why it's before the 20th and they start to try and take over stands bases again in Washington and Oregon and then Stan apparently opens up on Jason again but really he's bothering him and it is a fatal error and it's really really who's playing princess Leia because Leah is Leah and that was our son's sister-in-law and she'll say it was her the whole time and then she'll say it was really me and he's not looking forward to hear doing that stupid s***. . And she does get stopped but it does take time and with that said you can imagine what's happening globally he's trying to do the same thing in the areas like that where the canals are forming and he goes up and he tries to take over basis from the pseudo empire and he's not successful because he's trying to take over American bases in foreign bases at the same time and he opens a can of whoop ass on himself and is delusional it's horrible and he's supposed to be an easy out and representing us and our son is a nightmare actually I guess cheeseman would be him and he's saying oh yeah he would be represented by Trump and cheesman and sauce and Dan is further down and that's terrible and then again it's like Stan is supposed to be our son this makes more sense than Trump so you have this show going on apparently Stan gets overrun and we think it's some sort of combined force of morlock Tommy Allen and Garth and whole bunch of horses kickstand out and Trump forces kickstanding Trump out and then they kicked Dan out and they going to turbo mode but if he loses all that territory and California it's true he would have to lose in the east but he does this death race on Nova Scotia it turns into war pigs and they are and they attacked New York City and New York City takes them down freeze everybody and they attack him globally so yeah the time frame is kind of there it's not too long from now I don't have to do with prophecy bear and they would have a temporary president and you can see who it is in civil war 2024 the movie

Thor Freya

We're ignoring a lot of movies that sound like him but Heath ledger is different but a son and daughter say it sounds like the way he thinks and he responds that way but they were kind of taught by him and it continues but really the joker in suicide squad doesn't look like him and he's much neater and the girl doesn't look like Sarah and she likes it cuz she's sick of it Sarah looks different and has a different attitude and stuff

So that particular timeline matches unfortunately with what's going on in the cities that are destroyed we think are the ones the walls off and he's trying to and they get partially hit and he is ruined and it's because Terry cheeseman grabs the stuff and instead of sitting there looking at people telling them things like Leroy but Leroy doesn't have a choice he goes ahead and uses it it's not really a mistake cuz Trump is some sort of weirdo a lump on a log and delusional and neo is a different person then both of them and you're saying is brain around but it wouldn't last and he's got cancer in the brain

..

Olympus thank God Hera Zues you're welcome and she says shut up as soon as I can't stand this guy and it's not a little bit and I said wait a minute it kind of fits and Thor Freya I know it fits pretty good and they know who this other people are.. true too there's a lot of other people they're all very sick of trump and there's a whole bunch of duplicates that want to be president it's already started and they're nuts and she's been has to get rid of most of them

In a decisive win on Tuesday night, voters in Nova Scotia handed Tim Houston’s Progressive Conservatives a second consecutive majority government, marking a pivotal moment in the province’s political landscape. The victory was not only a reflection of Houston’s leadership but also a result of a dramatic collapse in Liberal support across the province.
