Linda McQuaig: Mark Carney’s stand on Gaza could actually make a difference
Prime Minister Mark Carney was correct in acting with urgency. Not only are lives at stake in Gaza, but there’s an urgent need for Canada to stand up for international law.

The AI app, which MS has forced upon me, has “suggested” that a 17 page chapter “appears to be a long document” and that I should “save time by reading a summary.” Does this feeble instrument know they are talking to an academic trained to read 100+ pages/day?

Wonderful profile of a great writer and a courage-inspiring woman ~
Here's my profile on Madeleine Thien, whose first novel in nearly a decade arrives next week.
We spoke about Hannah Arendt, visiting Palestine, the limits of autofiction and much more.

Madeleine Thien is the quiet conscience of Canadian literature. Nine years after winning the country’s top book prize, she returns with a stirring new novel
In “The Book of Records,” the outspoken author moves between centuries and perspectives – past and imagined futures – in a prismatic attempt to unearth the very root of thinking.

The US promoted and funded the separation of South Sudan from Sudan and claimed it was necessary to give security for Sudanese Christians. Now they are shipping all South Sudanese back to the control of a regime they themselves consider unreliable. Everyone is just a pawn in their game.
