Jon Klassen Writes Dark Kids Books

You may also know the sweet, dull pain of having to read many kids classics, like
Goodnight Moon, approximately 100,0000 times. But a great picture book, one that works for all readers, can transcend time and culture in the best fashion. As Nobel-prizewinning author Olga Tokarczuk said, “I adore the picture book... For me it is a powerful, primeval way of telling a story that’s able to get through to anyone — regardless of age, cultural differences or level of education.”
As picture books go, the Canadian-born Klassen is kind of a big deal. Ask any kid and their slightly freaked-out parents about his global bestseller,

Please Advise! Have We Outgrown April Fools'?

A remake of
Footloose will be filmed in B.C. with Premier John Horgan as the mayor and, in the Kevin Bacon role, a bunch of irresponsible young people. Alberta’s War Room has hired the Easter Bunny to debate Bigfoot on the positive aspects of digging lots of holes. Fox News is taking a break from wall-to-wall coverage of cancel culture to provide wall-to-wall coverage of an evil rapper’s Satanic running shoes.
Wait, that last one is real. The Lil Nas X sneakers story has pushed all else to the side, in case you’ve been wondering why Mr. Potato Head updates have been slow coming in recently.

‘On a journey among Mongolia’s nomads in the Khoridol Saridag mountains,’ says Daniel Wood, ‘I met Dagjii, his encampment surrounded by domesticated reindeer. He was one of 48 remaining members of the Tsaatan tribe.’ (The Tyee asked Wood to share recollections to go with photos in this article.)

Jen Sookfong Lee Is a Book Person

Michelle Cyca: How would you describe your literary tastes?
Jen Sookfong Lee: I mostly read novels — my favourites are really immersive novels that have a lot of different layers in terms of setting and character, and all those fictional elements. I look for something that will suck me in and not let me go.
The last one was
Songs for the End of the World by Saleema Nawaz, which is a pandemic novel. Oddly, she wrote it before any of this happened. It’s not that she was predicting the future, but she did a lot of research into pandemics and viruses like COVID. It’s a fascinating read, and it follows something like five protagonists and their experiences through the pandemic.

Forty Years of Failure to Curb Media Monopolies

Forty Years of Failure to Curb Media Monopolies
A 1981 commission set out a plan to protect the public interest. It was ignored, and the Postmedia-Torstar machinations show we’re paying a high price.
Taylor C. Noakes is an independent journalist, public historian and part-time iconoclast originally from Montreal.

Torstar and Postmedia swapped 41 newspapers and immediately closed all but six in November 2017, without any consequences from the Competition Bureau.

“The shape of the newspaper industry in English Canada was then dramatically changed by an agreement between the two largest of the remaining newspaper corporations. Two papers, in Ottawa and in Winnipeg, were closed on the same day, and where there had been mingled interests, in Vancouver and in Montreal, one chain bought out its new partner.”

Emails Confirm Torstar and Postmedia Knew Both Planned Cuts after Big Swap

Documents from axed Competition Bureau probe appear to contradict Postmedia CEO.
Bryan Carney reports on privacy, technology and freedom of information and is director of web production at The Tyee. You can follow his very occasional tweets at @bpcarney.

A three-year criminal conspiracy investigation into the swapping and closing of newspapers by Postmedia and Torstar was quietly shelved early last month. Legal experts say the Competition Bureau, Canada’s antitrust law enforcement branch, missed a chance to hone its legal weapons against monopolistic practices when it folded its case without bringing it to the courts.
