What a relief to see Tim Walz emerge on the national stage, “who embodies the earnest, humane, rural people who shaped me and the prairie populism that shaped the progressive foundations of the Great Plains,” writes @Sarah_Smarsh. Read: nyti.ms/3Wvy1um

Final round of @OlympicGolf @Paris2024 - thinking of my old pro Sam Young who passed away a couple months ago. Today was his birthday. He taught me how to play golf. Incredible mentor and friend the last 29 years. Wouldn’t be in Paris without him. You’re always with me Sam ❤️

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

Jason Calacanis is one of my favourite podcasters because he calls it as he sees it. He didn’t hold back here in his views on the environmental opposition to deep sea metals. Well worth a listen. @Jason @FutureJurvetson $TMC #deepseamining #nodules #energytransition

If you grew up in a small town on the prairies, reading this book is like discovering a parallel universe hidden in plain sight…exploding myths, misconceptions and prejudices. And incredibly moving.

Incredibly, Valley of the Birdtail was Canada’s #3 nonfiction bestseller in the last week, according to the Toronto Star (20 months after its release!). Douglas and I are on a mission, and we appreciate everyone picking up a copy: valleyofthebirdtail.ca

@parisreview It's hard to believe that such an accomplished writer, where every word tells, could have struggled like this. She was human. "I often wonder, when I look at these first drafts, if there was any point in doing this at all." #alicemunro

Along with @BillWaiser's Cheated and James Daschuk's Clearing the Plains, Stephen R. Bown's Dominion: The Railway and the Rise of Canada, form a troika that illuminates the sad, shameful corruption, violence and blatant exploitation of our Indigenous people.
Literary Review of Canada@reviewcanada

“Bown interrupts descriptions of breathtaking exploits with sections on the misery caused by those steel tracks punching across the continent.” Inside the Jan|Feb issue: @CharlotteJGray reviews “Dominion” by Stephen R. Bown, published by @doubledayca. reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2024/…
