A graphic with text reading "Shopping for Canadian-Made Books? Check out this list of Canadian-owned presses" at the top with a list of 66 members of the Literary Press Group. There is a checkbox near the top outlining what makes a book entirely Canadian-made: Canadian publisher, Canadian author, designed and printed in Canada, and warehoused and distributed in Canada.

What does it mean for a book to be fully Canadian-made? LPG publishers are committed to keeping Canadian stories, talent, and production close to home, checking all the boxes.

Global markets tumble for 3rd day as Trump remains committed to tariffs | CBC News Wall Street followed the global stock markets on a downward trajectory Monday, fuelled by fears that U.S. tariffs would lead to a global economic slowdown. European and Asian shares saw dramatic losse...

I'm beginning to think that Donald Trump was never really a businessman, and that he just played one on TV.
Consequently however, I do feel a bit better about running my little shop, or I would if the aforementioned actor/felon wasn't in charge of the world economy.

By the time he gets around to it he'll likely be in the private sector. It'll be an entirely new experience for him.

Pierre Poilievre was angry and petulant when he was up by twenty points. If he keeps hemorrhaging voters, he'll turn into Lou Ferrigno.

Parks Canada backtracks on directive to buy from Amazon Parks Canada has backtracked on a directive encouraging its employees to buy from Amazon.

One wonders why Parks Canada would have directed employees to make purchases from Amazon in the first place, but welcome to the party. You're late.

Though, I'm not comfortable countering nationalism with nationalism, I'll hope for my elected leaders to gather wisdom in the days to come, if for nothing else, than sheer novelty.

Meet the Canada Reads 2025 contenders | CBC Books The debates take place March 17-20 on CBC TV, CBC Radio, CBC Gem and CBC Books.

I don't have a particular favourite, but it's notable that Linwood Barclay (who writes effortlessly great thrillers, and is a fine fellow), is championing one on the shortlist. Enjoy Canada Reads before Poilievre guts the CBC next year.

It’s hard to believe that in the 2010s the big US tech companies were near-universally seen as forces of good and their CEOs as role models, not as sources of shame

In the not too distant future these corporations will strive to scrub this photo from their official histories

Damn. Not one false note. No sag in the middle, and in this genuinely creepy, slow burn anxiety attack of a crime novel, there's even a laugh or two.
When confronted with unease, our minds fill in the blanks way better than the outside world can.

From essential goods to common stocking stuffers, Trudeau offering Canadians temporary tax relief Canadians will soon receive a temporary tax break on several items, along with a one-time $250 rebate, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday.

In an oddly desperate move, our PM is giving junk food and "select types of books" a tax break.
I understand his desperation/cynicism, but select types of books?
