This #WorldBookandCopyrightDay, we’re sharing the impacts generative AI is currently having on Canada's book industry. Everyday publishers are facing new & complex copyright challenges due to AI, all the while having to deal with a broken fair dealing system at the foundation.
Happy #WorldBookandCopyrightDay from @jkdegen, TWUC CEO & Chair of @IntAuthors 📚🥳💫

A safe and happy beginning of Passover to Ottawa's Jewish community! Chag Sameach!

Protest the War but do not advocate for violence against our Jewish brothers and sisters. There is no place for that in a peace movement nor in a movement for freedom. It mirrors the horrors that we are witnessing every day in Gaza now. amny.com/news/columbia-…
Right. It’s after 12pm. I didn’t die in the night. Someone get this elderly sex god a fucking birthday margarita, let’s gooooo 🎉🎉🪩
Remember, it all began with Israel’s bombing of Iran’s Embassy in Syria's Damascus on April 1st. An act of war against 2 sovereign states, and a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and the Vienna Convention. Zero condemnation from Western regimes. Zero accountability.
The ban on the keffiyeh in the ontario legislature is wrong. I understand the importance of wearing a piece of clothing that is part of who you are and where you come from. This ban sends a clear message — who doesn’t belong in the halls of power. New Democrats stand in…
With the release of #Budget2024, the federal government has again failed to deliver on specific and longstanding promises to repair the market for books and writing in Canada. Read TWUC's press release: bit.ly/4aEW28c #cdnpoli @PascaleStOnge_ @FP_Champagne @cafreeland
Netanyahu reveals a plan to spend a staggering 19 Billion to turn the Gaza Strip into settlements… backed by Germany and the UK THIS WAS ALWAYS A GENOCIDE…🇵🇸💔

If we don't invest in Canadian stories, they will cease to be written. #Budget2024 may be the last chance for this government to fulfill its promise to increase funding for writers & publishers. @PascaleStOnge_ & @cafreeland, the pen is in your hand ✍️ publishers.ca/increase-cbf-p…

"The government must make good on its promise to secure a sustainable future for creating & publishing in Canada. Canadian writers, visual artists & publishers can’t afford to wait any longer." An op ed by @CdnPublishers & @Ecrivains_QC via @TheHillTimes. hilltimes.com/story/2024/04/…
📣Urgent call to action: a united front of over a dozen Canadian writing & publishing organizations urge @PascaleStOnge_ & @cafreeland to honour their commitment to increase funding to the Canada Book Fund & Public Lending Right in #Budget2024. #cdnpoli publishers.ca/increase-cbf-p…

This is alarming. Pierre Poilievre has filed a motion to block Pharmacare. A cruel move that will take away free access to life-saving medications for people – and hurt millions of Canadians. I promise you – he won't win this. I’m going to fight like hell for you.

Feedback--actual, honest, actionable feedback--is pound for pound the most important thing we can offer each other as writers, IMHO. Not dancing around an issue or sparing someone's feelings, but just saying 'hey, this isn't working, let's try something else'
Here is the thing about capital gains. It is income. If the person swinging a hammer, or putting in an IV, or growing the food, or teaching your kids has to pay taxes on their full income, why again should millionaire investors not have to pay taxes on 75% of theirs?
Anyways. That’s QUITE enough of all that. I’m heading out to celebrate in style by eating my own bodyweight in garlic bread. Be kind to each other, fuckheads ❤️
