If you can't handle the political pressure of running a novelty t shirt store without periodic public meltdowns I'd recommend against running for mayor anyways

There are many books you can read that aren't 1984 by Orwell

Anything by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has gotta go too. We need to weed out the 'every dumb guy's favorite book' list as much as possible

I support a book ban list if its just 1984. No other books, just 1984.

The story opens with our hero having sex with a succubus and then blowing its head off with his prosthetic arm cannon. Then a bunch of stuff happens but that’s not important. Be sure to check out CS Lewis instead!

Its the book everyone reads in high school and comes out of it like they're political geniuses who really understand society. Its fine as a rite of passage, but its kind of like that one book that turns every adolescent into an annoying person for awhile lol

I hate Ayn Rand and I hope she burns in hell but I'd never dream of banning her books. The Alberta government needs to better explain its rationale for this list
