With the official publication date of my new book just 2 weeks away, I am grateful to @themockler.bsky.social for interviewing me for her I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK YOU series. I talk about memory, ghosts, and The Goonies, among other things.

Read on!

Air Canada refused to negotiate in good faith and then the Liberal government stomped on workers’ rights faster than Air Canada finds lost luggage.

Cancelations and delays are on them.

In case you're wondering, yes there are still "wait and see" Carney apologists in comments. Nothing is going to wake them up until after it's too late.
