At my venerable hometown bookshop, A Different Drummer in Burlington, Ontario, resisting the urge of my 16 year-old library page self to correctly shelve this @pluralistic novel.
Found @pluralistic in good company at https://www.riversidebookshelf.com/ in Paris Ontario this fine morning.

Another way to look at it: three hours' drive from border crossing points for Ontario/Quebec-USA.
There are four US population centers within a 3-hour drive of eastern Canada. Detroit and Buffalo are the most obvious, but I've added Burlington VT and Bangor ME to represent the most northern/northeasterly parts of New England. Purely FYI and apropos of nothing, of course.
Guardian headline today almost exactly as predicted by Kim Stanley Robinson.
Possibly the most egregious example of a first-world problem I've ever seen. "The Taylor Swift tickets are so expensive I had to fly to Europe so I could see her." This is what passes for local news from the @CBCNews in #hamont a city with a huge poverty and housing crisis.
