It is the erosion of professionalism due to online marketplaces platforming kitchen table / mega sellers and warehousers IMHO. My mentor taught me that once a printed book is put on a shelf in the (new) bookstore, it is no longer βfineβ.

PM Mark Carney speaks at World Economic Forum in Davos β January 20, 2026
Really good speech from Carney at the World Economic Forum today.
Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States.

Yes, thatβs its proper name, since mid C19 (though some have sought an alternative with less character).

I hope you find a good spot! It can be tricky to find the right balance of busyness and affordability. I think we have the population to support more bookstores. (In the opinion of the owner of a Winnipeg bricks-and-mortar bookstore)

JD Vance tweet reads: βWhile l'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into "diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot we have a salad bowl" immigration insanity than Canada.
It has the highest foreign-born share of the population in the entire G7 and its living standards have stagnated.β
JD Vance follow up tweet reads: βAnd with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.β

Quote from Prime Minister Mark Carney: βWe become just by doing just acts. Brave by doing brave acts. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows.β

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone.

When I'm watching CPC supporters railing on about how the Liberals are responsible for inflation, I wonder if these poor brainwashed wretches realize that inflation was a worldwide issue, and Canada came out of the pandemic years in better shape than 90% of the world. #cdnpoli #neverCPC #propaganda
