Canadian cartoonist fired after his caricature of Trump goes viral

Ottawa [Canada]: A Canadian cartoonist has lost his job after his controversial caricature of US President Donald Trump playing golf over the bodies of two drowned migrants from El Salvador went viral last week.
Michael de Adder’s illustration that went viral across the internet last Wednesday depicted Trump asking the two dead migrants, “Do you mind if I play through?” The cartoon referred to the image of Oscar Alberto Martinez and his 23-month-old daughter, Angie Valeria, lying face down in murky water littered with reeds and discarded beer bottles.
The duo from El Salvador drowned last Sunday while attempting to cross the Rio Grande river near Brownsville to get into the United States.
On Friday, Adder took to social media saying that he had been let go by a publishing company in New Brunswick, Canada.
“The highs and lows of cartooning. Today I was just let go from all newspapers in New Brunswick,” De Adder tweeted. His company, Brunswick News Inc. said in a statement on Sunday that “it is entirely incorrect to suggest” that it cancelled a freelance contract with de Adder over the Trump cartoon.
