Have thought about this clip probably monthly since seeing the episode decades ago. 😂
Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.
October is Canadian Library Month, and we can't think of a better time for Albertans to show support to one of the many local branches! There are over 300 library service touch-points across Alberta, spread out over seven regions as well as Edmonton and Calgary. Check out a book today!

Cover of the book “American Kingpin,” by Nick Bilton.
This Nick Bilton book is a fascinating and fast-paced dive into Silk Road, if you want to know more about the recently pardoned Ross Ulbricht.
I mean 🤦🏼♀️
Was slow to reply to a comment on this, sorry! Been in a Can-con mood lately, and revisiting Tragically Hip pump up songs.
Turns out I’m much better with a typewriter than a pipette, but I appreciate that. Thank you!
Anti-vaxxers can cause direct harm to infants who are too young to be vaccinated, the elderly, and people living with chronic illnesses. They can also undermine herd immunity, because as pathogens spread, they mutate. And they may mutate to evade vaccines, rendering the ones we have less effective.
Enjoyed this conference last year and wish I could attend again, but avoiding travel to the US due to threats against Canada.
