Book 4 #gabrielleandtheemperor is taking shape. It won't make my self-imposed Boxing Day deadline, but the final instalment will hit the shelves on #valentinesday. Hey, who doesn't love a yarn that blends romance with swords, muskets, hot air balloons, and . . . oops. You'll have to wait and see.

Coming December 15th to Kobo: #kimetosjourney. Kimeto has never been more than a days walk from his home near Mount Kilimanjaro. One day he helps rescue a baby elephant from an abandoned well. Later, worried the calf will not survive, Kimeto begins a journey to Nairobi. Will he find his elephant?

Tonight, the House of Commons has voted to pass Budget 2025.

It’s time to work together to deliver on this plan — to protect our communities, empower Canadians with new opportunities, and build Canada strong.

It's probably a good thing that I'm not in charge of negotiating Bo Bichette's contract with the #bluejays.

“I thought it would be meaningful to have real poppies growing here on campus.”

Poppies grown from Flanders Fields seeds will bloom in the #USask Agriculture Atrium for Remembrance Day—a project by horticulture student & Canadian Armed Forces member Fikret Ükis.

BLUE JAYS 🇨🇦 ⚾️ FOR THE WIN

This team. Lose an 18 inning heartbreaker. Lose Springer. Up against Ohtani. On the road. The Toronto Blue Jays didn’t flinch.

A dominant 6-2 Game 4 victory to tie the World Series at 2-2. There will be more baseball back in Toronto this season.

"Saskatchewan’s Maureen Ulrich understands how to engage readers, her genres and subject matter are varied, and her children’s picture books are delightfully heartwarming. A Home for Hairy features a foul-breathed cat with low self-esteem and a busy healthcare worker." - Sask Books Review
