Yeppp. I think Macmillan, at least, has said they'll pay the equivalent for their titles that weren't registered in time? Not sure who else. (Your book also has to have been in the set that was downloaded at a specific time, which also narrows this list down somewhat from previously available ones.)

Doing some research, I just came across this image of shad fishermen checking their nets in the Bay of Fundy. I'm sharing because it's cool. Have a good day.

Three fishermen are checking nets strung high above the ground. The tide has gone out. One is on a mule-pulled cart, one is climbing a pole, and a third watches from the ground. Credit: Library and Archives Canada/National Film Board fonds/e011176116.

Petrusich: Swift is too practiced and savvy to ever really make a “bad” record. (So is Max Martin, incidentally—they are both virtuosos of the form.) If you are a connoisseur of pop music, you will surely find things to enjoy here; but if, say, Sonic Youth is your favorite band, I’d probably keep it moving. Mostly, I think she sounds stuck. Maybe it’s healthy that Travis Kelce is not proving to be her muse, but I found myself hungry for a new, more mid-thirties-ish point of view. That she calls out his podcast by name in a song about his sexual prowess is hilarious.

Huh! Well I guess it wouldn't surprise me if the Westons have more pull in ON than AB, ha.

For me the key if I'm on a sidewalk or shared path is to ride to conditions accordingly! ie, I slow down.

New Mexico, one of the poorest states in the country, is banking on a progressive approach to health care-- strong protections for reproductive rights & gender-affirming care (including for minors), vaccine access. & it's the 1st state to offer universal childcare! www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Wild. I wonder when the Canadian grocery lobby lost that fight!

I've never forgotten the reaction of a cycle courier I knew to the glib "running reds, killing peds" line in the very silly film Premium Rush. He'd known people who (accidentally, obvs) killed people while riding, and he did NOT think it was something to joke about, at all.

Ohh, interesting, I thought it was still illegal for them to sell produce in Canada! I don't think the Whitehorse one has anything fresh besides some dairy.

*whispers* One thing I'd like to see a lot less of from cycling advocates is the idea, which gets repeated a fair bit, that it's basically fine for pedestrians to be hit by bikes. Any time you fall hard on pavement as a human with a brain inside a skull, you could die.

Right, I just don't think you can really call something a supermarket if it doesn't have produce! I once food-shopped exclusively at Shoppers for like three months (long story lol) but I didn't call it a grocer, you know?

Also at least semi-bizarre to call Walmart a "supermarket" in its Canadian format IMO.

Some nice news this morning: my Cottage Life feature on Banff's long lost Wolf 57 won gold in the nature/environment category at the IRMAs! Thanks to @alyshavdt.bsky.social for the news *and* for the assignment.

She's a female grey wolf who disappeared in 2003. Why is Wolf 57 capturing researchers' attention?

Eighteen years after she disappeared, her collar was found hundreds of kilometres away. Here's why she deserves your attention.

I remember the first time my parents sent me to the corner store to grab a lime for their Coronas. I was SO thrilled, but they must have been over the moon lol.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

When Adoption Promises Are Broken

Many birth mothers hope to maintain contact with their child. But their agreements with adoptive parents can be fragile.
