Project Description

A selection of political cartoons from 2020-2024, that heavily draw upon satire and social commentary. Many of the cartoons depicted have been published by Canadian Dimension, and some self-published.

his cartoon is a condemnation of the belligerent violence waged by the US and UK led bombing campaign dubbed "Prosperity Guardian" against Yemen (among the most impoverished counties in the world facing multiple humanitarian crises.) The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the attacks on Yemen "are in self defence" and to protect free trade, since the Yemeni targeted attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea in solidarity with Gaza. Canada immediately endorsed the US/UK mission and contributed military personnel without public debate. This is a dangerous escalation in the region considering the ongoing conflict in Palestine that is impacting the Middle East as the US bombs Syria and Iraq and the threats of a widening conflict loom. De-escalation now!
