Saw a thing about first-person POV, where some readers have trouble with it because they think the book is about THEM doing whatever the character is doing, and they can't relate because the character sometimes makes decisions they wouldn't make.

I'm not entirely sure how to process this info.

The UCP is starting their own rigged process to cheat their way through the next election.

Fuck P3s; what am I paying taxes FOR, if not to fund community access to rinks, parks, and pools?!? If they stopped throwing the biggest chunk of the budget at cops, we could pay for all of this 10x over, FFS!

Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

Mikisew Cree First Nation Billy-Joe Tuccaro spoke about the impact that toxic chemicals leaching and spilling from the oil sands is having on his people.

When people are like, "Where is the money for X going to come from?" I'm like, the police budget. The money you are looking for is in the police budget. It's in police contracts (many of which mandate an annual increase--PVD's does) & police pensions, but it's also in things like the supply budget
