I would conclude this to be humorous. If one finds it disrespectful, consider it pay-back. The PM obviously lacks any respect for the voting populous, especially the majority of canadians that didn't vote for him. Besides, if you can't take a joke...
There hasn't been a prime minister in a long time who secured the majority of the vote. The cartoon is funny, but Parliament is a waste of time anyway. It's time Canada became a republic with two parties and do away with the Bloc and NDP, and the Greens....all losers.
Humourous. Made me laugh, and proud of my home town.
It is also art. Here are some quotations by various artists and writers on the purpose of art:
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. (Aristotle)
(Beautifully captured in this case by the outward representation of our Steve and his endless photo ops in which the only object of importance is...the Great Himself. Inward significance of his Everythingness: obvious in this work of art.)
Art has no other purpose than to brush aside... the conventional and accepted generalities, in short everything that veils reality from us, in order to bring us face to face with reality itself. (Henri Bergson)
(The reality here being two-fold: the true nature of the Prop Minister, and the fact that it is high time for a change)
The object of art is to crystalize emotion into thought, and then fix it in form. (Delsarte)
(30,000 people rallying against The Big Guy’s undermining of democracy would agree that this artist’s rendition crystalizes a great deal of emotion, fixing it in an appropriate and very telling form)
The aim behind critical art is to improve life, by pointing out that which is in need of repair or renovation. (Ron Gang)
(Uh-huh)
An artist's job is to say the most with the least. (Andrew Hamilton)
(Beautifully done in this case...the photo ops, the nature of His Royal Rotundness, that his time and meagre usefulness are running out, that it is time for change)
The fundamental purpose of the artist is the same as that of a scientist: to state a fact. (Herbert Read)
(In this case: well done!)
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. (Pablo Picasso)
(And let them breathe, I would add. Only in this case, the art is intending to wash something other than dust off another part of our anatomy.)
Yes, it’s humourous, and it serves the purpose that such cartoons should: to draw attention, through humour, to serious political events.
Personally, I don’t need to change that roll in my house. I never found that brand to be trustworthy, useful, or of quality, and recognize it as being rather toxic.

ReplyDeleteYou mean like the U.S.?
ReplyDeleteNot sure if that's a route Canada wants to take.
