Off topic, wtf is up with Toronto's sidewalks?? Urgh. Walking is NOT fun this time round. Squelchy wet snow... I never thought I'd be commending Regina's sidewalks in comparison, but bloody hell.

Thank you, thank you @anotherstoryto.bsky.social and #TypeBooks ! 'Books and the City' got a lovely welcome at both places and I loved answering all your great questions too. I am so tired now that instead of going out celebrating, I am eating Timbits in bed BECAUSE I CAN. #toronto #booksky 💙📚

Gah. One cancelled event, an extra $800 and 2 mightily disappointed kiddos later, and apparently I am now off to Toronto again, a day late and alone.

Books and the City is now live on Amazon! a.co/d/cK9Rh8c But because we don't want to feed the Dread Beast of Bezos, it's also available from the publisher's site *all Canadian based* petes-press.square.site/product/pre-...

And as Prime Minister, I will Deregulate the Safety, Defund the Services, Avoid the Media, Subsidize the Wealthy, Harness the Lightning, Welcome the US, Speak the Anglo-Saxon, Cancel the Diversity, Abandon the Commoners, Celebrate the Mediocrity, Crash the Economy, and keep blaming Trudeau.

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.

Remember to support your local bookshops by using sites like bookshop.org instead of Amazon. Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more money. #books #booksky #reading
