It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners. —Albert Camus
"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering." — Tom Waits
Things that this year’s Canada Reads will leave me thinking about for awhile: what readers expect from endings, (Hollywood?) influenced myths about editing & the role of the editor, and how short story collections will always be underdogs if we use novel criteria to judge them.
Today, due to the tireless advocacy of the NDP, we've made history: the introduction of universal #pharmacare legislation. With just 25 MPs, the NDP has helped millions of Canadians live healthier and save money. Imagine what we could accomplish with more NDP MPs in Ottawa.
The Capilano Review seeks a Managing Editor beginning April 1, 2024. Application Deadline: Sunday, March 10, 2024. View the full job description on our website, link in our bio.
"We are less because of ideologies of universalism, not more".
"We are less because of ideologies of universalism, not more".
We can now officially name @theJagmeetSingh the father of pharmacare in Canada.

TOWARD AN ANTI-RACIST POETICS by @WaydeCompton is the latest title in our CLC Kreisel Lecture Series. Compton rejects the white universalism of literary production and practice. Read more on our blog! Available for 30% off with code iP24. bit.ly/3vgXluJ @CLCUAlberta
I would do a series of Massey lectures on the precise form of gatekeeping that something called a "lecture series" actually upholds, which I guess means I will never be invited to do a Massey lecture.
Holy, it's actually officially published!! So excited to have people read it, at long last. And to celebrate with my genius colleagues @UBCOcrwr tonight, with their beautiful books. Bounty.

Feels like every week we go buy the exact same groceries and every week it costs more and more and more and more and more. Anyway, the French had a solution for this in the 1790s.
I'm heartened by all the support for my chat with @elamin88 about the Griffin Prize. For background, the best thing written about it is still @WordsandGuitar's CBC article "Why the Griffin Poetry Prize combining its awards is bad news for Canadian poets." cbc.ca/arts/why-the-g…
This is what we feared when they changed the structure of the Griffin Prize. There are no Canadian books on this long list. Literary awards are celebrations, not competitions, and we celebrate what we value. The Griffin Prize does not value Canadian poetry.
✨Congratulations to our 2024 longlisted authors and their publishers! ✨ Discover the full #GriffinPoetryPrize Longlist on our website: buff.ly/3TIigA9 Artwork: Toronto Ink Company
@griffinpoetry Looks like exactly what Canadians said would happen happened. Congrats to the longlisted poets, must be weird to be excited about the recognition if you know how poets from the land currently called Canada feel about the changes to this prize.
@griffinpoetry "Canada's Poetry Prize": 0 books by CDNs (2 translations, but 0 published in Canada), 7 books by US writers. Reminds me of Stompin' Tom Connors and the Junos.
Between 2022 and 2023, landlords in Ontario increased rents in vacant units by an average of 36 per cent. Bringing back controls on vacant units would prevent abusive increases. It would also remove the financial incentive for renoevictions used to displace tenants.
Doug Ford’s Conservatives eliminated a significant amount of rent control in 2019, partly causing rent prices to soar over the last 5 years. They could reverse this decision but they are more interested in making the rich richer. #onpoli #Nepean thestar.com/opinion/contri…

What doesn't kill you makes you write short stories
My other thought is that one is not enough. Read all of the books on the CR list. The read some books that aren’t on that list. Read poetry. Read graphica. Read difficult books that challenge you.
Things that this year’s Canada Reads will leave me thinking about for awhile: what readers expect from endings, (Hollywood?) influenced myths about editing & the role of the editor, and how short story collections will always be underdogs if we use novel criteria to judge them.
I’ve written and deleted like 12 tweets about Canada Reads lol…
