MAGA MAPLE declared that a youth that asked a question at a public event should be "spanked."
Danielle Smith accused the school board of being "viciously compliant" when they released the list of books the MAGA morons were trying to ban.
In Alberta, the kids are alright.

"Banished From Our Home" historical fiction aimed at younger readers about the deportation of the Acadians. Done like a diary.

The introduction on its own is the size of a small novel.

New acquisition, bought on a whim. At 800+ pages god only knows when I'll read it.

Hope it sells well!

Oh my pleasure. I love books like these. I think I have to order from the publisher though?

Exactly the kind of history book I look for.

James Carruthers

Shipwreck hunters find SS James Carruthers at bottom of Lake Huron Shipwreck hunters found the SS James Carruthers, a wheat-carrying cargo ship that sank in the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. It's belly up in the bed of Lake Huron.

In its very short time on the waters the laker "James Carruthers" was the largest Canadian-built ship on the Great Lakes. And then the White Hurricane of 1913 took it and others to the bottom. Now, over 100 years after disappearing with all hands, she's been found. www.npr.org/2025/09/10/n...

Reading Watership Down. Oddly for some reason when General Woundwort speaks I distinctly hear the voice of Sir Alec Guinness from Dr. Zhivago.
That is all.
