20 days of my favourite books: Day 7 — One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
This book is a scalpel. El Akkad slices through the performative comfort of passive liberalism, exposing the rot. Essential reading as world gaslights itself in real time

Today marks the final day of the Bissell Community Space, and I’m reflecting on what it meant to so many people. This place was more than just a spot for showers, coffee, or clean clothes—it was a sanctuary where people found safety, dignity, and support. #YEG #YEGCommunity #BissellCentre 1/12

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Day 6: Redemption by Nathan Winograd
This is not a perfect book, but was perfect at the time I was a volunteer director in animal rescue (hey scarscare.ca ). The author provides new approaches and challenges commonly held beliefs.

Day 5 - My Name Is Leon by Kit De Waal
A story told from a child's perspective, when done right, is powerful.
Leon’s world is filled with anger, loneliness, and small moments of hope.
This is a book about family, identity, and finding your light.
