For today’s episode we read Paying the Land, comics journalist Joe Sacco’s book about the Dene people, resource extraction in the Northwest Territories, the legacy of Canadian colonialism, and residential schools. It’s a big book with a lot to say on some weighty issues, but we also find time to discuss journalism as an institution, the convenient “boringness” of Canadian history, and even cottage core.

Palestine, Footsteps in Gaza, Safe Area Gorazde, and The Fixer, also by Joe Sacco
Fatty Legs by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Olemaun Pokiak-Fenton.
