Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you
You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

As I said, this is Canada’s Day Zero. Economically and politically. Canadian history now has a before and an after, centred on this day
