An underrated advantage of reading paper books is getting your steps in by walking to the library
Get ready #Ottawa: GCTC is presenting ROGERS v ROGERS in October. If you have feelings about government, competition policy, cell phones, entrepreneurship, or laughter, this is for you. Plan ahead.

Canadian authors, remember to register your books for the PLR program by May 1! For the first time, you are no longer required to mail things in—you can do it online.
Canadian publishers are deeply disappointed by Nova Scotia's cancellation of the Publishers Assistance program. Support for local publishers has been reduced from $700,000 to $0, making NS the only province that does not invest in its own publishers. @nsgov.bsky.social publishers.ca/nova-scotia-...
Dear Mr Kirkdale bookshop keeper, It's me, the boy who asked to put the "One Piece" book on hold. How's your day been so far? Well for me, I'm getting thro teeth out at the dentist, not because their rotten but because I need to braces (I cind of scared). Due to the above, I will not be able to buy the book so please, please, please can you keep the book for one more day. From the boy, Jacob is my name. p.s. plase, please, please rec.
Imagine being like this. Maybe we actually were all once like this. Be more like this guy!
I need one of these for every damn day of the week.
I love this story. Bravo for Kat Sandler!

Tim's words concerning the amount of industry that Canada employed to help the war effort in the Second World War is a key moment in this interview. I miss him. I would love to discuss contemporary defence production with him now.

Today on Can Geo 🎙️
In Episode 120 of Explore, Michael Palin looks back on Monty Python's Flying Circus, polar plunges and a lifetime of travel with curiosity. A reminder why humour, humility and listening matter now more than ever.

Absolutely love this video of two 50 y-o women attempting every Winter Olympic sport (and laughing throughout). This is the #Joy we need to cultivate in our lives.

This is infuriating. Aren’t we supposed to be telling our nation’s stories, defending our sovereignty, etc. etc.? Has Marc Miller done anything as Minister?? Anything?
New 'elbows up' just dropped: Protecting our sovereignty by destroying our capacity to tell our country's history.
Ask any Canadian historian and they will tell you that things were already extremely dire at Library and Archives Canada. Not sure it will even be functional after this.
The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could
Highly recommend Dr. Afua Cooper’s book “The Hanging of Angelique” to read more on her life and times. #BookSky #CanLit
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
I stopped by the other day and they had a wonderful selection of books. If you are passing through Union Station, be sure to visit them.
My Manitoba people: @healey.bsky.social’s play ROGERS v ROGERS, based on @alexposadzki.bsky.social’s book, opens next week at MTC. This is not just a Toronto story. If you pay for a cell phone, buy groceries, or have a dad, this is one for you.

On this date in 1876, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at King and Simcoe was officially dedicated. The four corners of King and Simcoe were known as SALVATION (St. Andrew's), LEGISLATION (Government House), EDUCATION (Upper Canada College) and DAMNATION (British Tavern).
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
Prove that you're human song

+1 on this recommendation. ALL THAT SHE CARRIED is a masterpiece. #BookSky
In honor of Black History Month, here's a thread with one book recommendation a day.
On top of this, the Liberal government is cutting 70 jobs at Library and Archives Canada and cutting its annual budget by $22.1 million permanently.
So much truthful and authentic evidence of Canada's history is endangered.
c.c. @archivistsdotca.bsky.social @millarlaura.bsky.social
Unlike the USA, Canada has only one source of federal funding for archives, the DHCP:

The Carney Liberal government just cut the DHCP permanently.
I can't even begin to say how disgusted and angry I am. There is NO OTHER SOURCE of program funding for archives.
Paul Scofield is still my favourite Thomas More.
