The need for a UK-EU defense pact

1 week ago | observerbd.com | Luke Coffey

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in London late last month to discuss the future of UK-EU relations. The main purpose of the meeting was to prepare for a larger summit between London and Brussels this month that will focus on formalizing cooperation on security and defense.
Ducks, Two Years in the Oil Sands

1 week ago | observerbd.com | Anne Logan |Kate Beaton

I always regretted not attending this one book event; it was a snowstorm here in Calgary and no one was on the roads, so as the consummate rule follower I am, I stayed home from seeing Kate Beaton speak about her new book Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands back in 2022. I saw the pictures afterwards and it looked like an incredible event, with musical accompaniment and lots of laughter. Sigh.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, as Lean In; Women, Work and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg came out in 2013, and I've been meaning to read it since then.

How to Survive a Bear Attack

1 month ago | observerbd.com | Anne Logan |Claire Cameron

By Anne LoganIt's been awhile since I read Canadian author Claire Cameron. I last read and reviewed one of her books of fiction, The Last Neanderthal in 2019 and I recently picked up her memoir How to Survive a Bear Attack with an open mind because it's a work of non-fiction, so very different from what I was used to. This latest book is about the skin cancer that runs in her family, plus a deadly bear attack she became fixated on as she grew older.
The Probability of Everything

1 month ago | observerbd.com | Sarah Everett

I'm not going to make a habit of reviewing middle grade fiction but I'll admit to being convinced into reading The Probability of Everything by Sarah Everett by a very persuasive pitch from a publicist at HarperCollins Canada. She said it was fantastic, and she was right (give this woman a raise!). Plus Everett is based out of Edmonton, and I love lifting up Alberta writers whenever possible.

The Western media's Israel-Palestine double standard

2 months ago | observerbd.com | Ray Hanania

America and Israel's manipulation of the violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, exaggerating crimes against Israelis or Jews and ignoring those that target Palestinians and Muslims, should anger the entire world, especially the people of the Middle East. Unfortunately, this disparity does not get much attention in either the US or Israel. But the gap between how the two are reported is immorally immense.
The Knowing

2 months ago | observerbd.com | Anne Logan |Tanya Talaga

Many Canadian book-lovers will be aware of this latest release: The Knowing by Tanya Talaga hit store shelves at the end of August, is currently on the bestseller list, and will likely remain there for the next few months. A documentary by the same name (trailer below) was released at the same time as the book.
The Widow's Guide to Dead Bastards

Feb 7, 2025 | observerbd.com | Anne Logan |Jessica Waite

I'll admit to picking this book up in the first place because it seemed juicy. A tell-all memoir about a woman discovering her recently deceased husband was hiding a bunch of things? Give me the tea! But The Widow's Guide to Dead Bastards by Calgary author Jessica Waite wasn't a simple look at how terrible he was, instead it's a very complicated but realistic look at grief, and how we reconcile our memories of someone who passed even when they did awful things to us.
