This was scheduled to appear today. Donald Sutherland receives the Order of Canada. He was born in New Brunswick. It was based upon a cartoon I did years ago for a book I did on the province. The fact that they didn't even run it is telling. All ties had to be cut ASAP. pic.twitter.com/Fys45Nc6wk

I loved drawing cartoons for my home province. I’m a proud New Brunswicker. I will survive. I’m not a victim. I just finished a book, that will be out in September and I still freelance for some amazing newspapers. It’s a setback, not a deathblow.

In another tweet he said..

The hardest part in all of this,I have a mother with dimentia in NB who has a hard time remembering her family at times.But she knows her son draws cartoons. Part of her daily routine is to open the @TimesTranscript and see her son’s cartoon.A cartoon that won’t be there anymore.

Canadian Cartoonist Losses Job Over Trump Cartoon

Viral Trump Cartoon

But in the past 2 weeks I drew 3 Trump cartoons. 2 went viral and the third went supernova and a day later I was let go. And not only let go, the cartoons they already had in the can were not used. Overnight it was like I never worked for the paper. Make your own conclusions.
