no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask
A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch: Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.

"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

Yes! Convenience above all. Also important not to conflate usage with preference. i.e. if you have high usage of ebooks, but you have an e preferred collection policy so all the newest books are only available to your users as ebooks... You really can't make any conclusions about preference.

I mean I'm an e-book person both personally and professionally and I totally agree. I think it surprised a lot of people here when the AFN launched to see just how many requests you get for print books when you make it easy to request them.

Random fun fact.
Fred Penner and Neil Young both attended Kelvin High School in Winnipeg at the same time (although in different grades). They both appear in the 1963 Yearbook for the school.
A black-and-white split photo featuring two Canadian musicians: on the left, Neil Young standing and smiling while leaning on a wooden console with electronic equipment, dressed in a denim shirt and turtleneck; on the right, Fred Penner sitting cross-legged and smiling broadly, wearing a patterned knit hat, plaid shirt, and vest.
