Reviews
and comments…
“Funny, audacious and sometimes outrageous, he is known as Aislin and is one of our country’s premier political cartoonists. With a few pen strokes, he comments on Canadian life and gives us the pulse of a nation. He has become an advocate for Canada’s most disadvantaged and often reminds us of their plight. His humanity and concern for fairness and justice are reflected in his work.”
Order of Canada citation announcement
“Wickedly funny with a king-sized heart. How does this guy always manage to get it right?”
Douglas Coupland “We all know Aislin recognizes no limits and displays no judgement. I find it not only personally offensive but frightening on behalf of all Canadians.”
Barbara McDougall “Aislin is vivid, steely and fierce. His cartoons are a diary of every folly and controversy that has meshed with the sad Canadian consciousness over the past three decades.”
