Blogger received a cheque of $7,500.00 from the Canada Council!!!!

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine told me I should apply for a grant to help me write a book about my life.

I thought that was a good idea but how could I do that? I have no experience filling out applications unless it was for a labour job at the shipyard.

I laughed at that. Moi? Write a book?

Moi, I can hardly spell (so say many of my readers). But I was surprised, some people of my blog agreed that I should put together a collection of my best pictures from my blog.

I don't think that my pictures are that great, but people keep telling me that they should be all together in one place in an fancy art gallery where everybody can see them and they can come for a free glass of wine or beer and some cheeze.

Many people in my pictures might not like it (especially the politicians) but when I started to think about it, I do have a lot of photos (over 100,000) and some of them are pretty good.

Especially the ones where I put words in the mouths of the politicians in bubbles (balloons?) over their heads. I love doing that. These are my best and the readers love it. I don't know a damn thing about graphic design, they look terrible, but they're funny as hell. Even I have to laugh sometimes.

These are great pictures and I have many more. It's going to take months to gather all the best pics. This is the reason I need money.

So I decided to apply for a grant with the Canada Council under the Spoken Word and Storytelling Program section to see how far I could get.

I wondered if they would take me seriously?

A couple of my friends who knows how to spell properly (LOL) put together applications / proposals helped me to apply. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get together all the information to be accepted, but we managed for the deadline.

I have a lot of newspaper articles about my arrest, my protest at the Legislature, my many letters to the editor, my bicycle trip and etc. etc.

We did a proposal and I had to put together a resume just to make sure they knew who I was and that I wasn't fooling around I included a video of my arrest in Saint John . Click here to see the video.

To my amazement, my application for funding to the Canada Council was accepted!!!

I'm going to get some money to put my picture in frames on a wall in an art gallery, especially the ones of the politicians.The judges loved that apparently.


Here's the letter I received yesterday!!

I'll get my monthly cheque today plus with the $7,500.00 as a grant? Party time this weekend!!!!

Because of the Grant system? I'm still able to collect my check and don't have to pay them back!!!

Beautiful!! Life is great again!!!!

Since I'm on a roll? I'm also going to apply for for a Grant to attend the Acadian Congres Mondial which will be held this summer.

All the French artists get funding to go there and do their gig.

Why not have the biggest Blogger and Bullshiter at this event?

I'm going to apply for a grant of $10,000 for I can set up a live Blog from the Congres. I was there in 1994 so why not this year?

Of course, I'm on Social Assistance so therefore I need money to attend this event.

I would be setting my blog at the LeBlanc Family Reunion. What a way to promote the Congres with my Blog right from the Acadian area!!!

You readers will see first hand of what is going on at the Congress. Yeah...I'm certain I'll get the $10,000 because I already received $15,000 for my pictures.

When Child Protection Agencies Becomes the Instrument of Abuse


By André Faust (Mar 29, 2017)

When we think of child protection, Children’s aid, child social services we tend to think that they are there to protect children, and probably most of the time they do. Unless it is something major where these agencies messed up the public will never hear of it. These agencies hide their “F#@k ups” behind the firewall called privacy and privilege information that protects them from any public scrutiny.

How many foster kids eventually end up as commodities on the human traffic market? According to a 2015 report by Child Welfare Information Gateway;

Hello again. I hope you’re well.

This is the one and only time of year when I ask friends, associates and viewers to consider supporting a cause I personally believe in, both as a parent and as a broadcaster. Canada's Kids Hel Phopne is always there for our young people, helping them deal with some of the biggest challenges and issues in their young lives. It's a place for answers, not judgments; a safe place where a young person can talk openly and privately about the cruelty of bullying, the loneliness of depression or the pressure to succeed, compete or conform.

Kids Help Phone offers free, professional counselling, information and resources to kids when and how they need them.

If you believe in the value of this service, as I do, please consider making a donation using VISA, MasterCard or American Express. An electronic tax receipt is e-mailed within a day. Here’s the secure link. https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx?registrationID=3748959&langPref=en-CA

The Walk is coming up the first week of May.

A special thanks to all who have supported Kids Help Phone in the past.

Sincerely,

Steve Murphy
