Cartoonists this week

cat reading newspaperAutumn’s election is already starting to loom, the Alto train factor providing various visual gags and Godin predicting the first of many phone surveys. Perhaps Christine Fréchette didn’t quite welcome the end of the parliamentary session.

The ambivalent “noui” phenomenon came in for a few laughs, from Côté and Ygreck.

Banning social media to under-16s was illustrated by Godin and Côté, while the new Governor General was also a topic, although Ygreck seems to have forgotten the seven beige years of David Johnston between Michaëlle Jean and Julie Payette.

Trump never quite leaves the stage, but it was the criticism of Legault and Fitzgibbon’s rash investment in bad battery business that gave us the best caricature of the week from Chapleau.
