Ducks, Two Years in the Oil Sands

1 month 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 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

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

Feb 28, 2025 | 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.
