Women of the Fur Trade

pick

I‘m sorry that I missed seeing this play at Stratford, but the run had finished before I got there in September. It‘s a delightful read, in any case. A comical feminist history of the Red River rebellion in what is now Canada. Frances Koncan is Ojibwe and Slovene; and she has a great sense of humour. #IndigenouAuthor #CanLit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EUGENIA: … Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada—

CECILIA: Lovely place!

EUGENIA: —a city known for simultaneously being the Murder Capital of Canada and the Most Racist City in Canada.

CECILIA: We‘re also the Slurpee Capital of Canada. Don‘t forget that.

BiblioLitten Slurpee capital!! 1y

Lindy @batsy Ha! Winter slurpee drinking comes up in Katherena Vermette‘s most recent novel, which is set in Winnipeg

Prairiegirl_reading I have lived in Winnipeg (and just outside) all my life and can confirm all three of these things to be true!! However, Manitoba just elected the first indigenous premier with a very diverse cabinet so change is happening. 😄 The slurpee thing will never change though. (edited) 1y
