O Canada | Ted Harrison
post image

1. This week‘s baseball joy: the hockey team‘s anthem singers came to Nationals Park to sing O Canada on cinco de mayo.
2. This is problematic in the bigger scheme of things, but it‘s always a joy to see deer outside my door.
3. Zendaya‘s first gown for the Met Gala gave me joy.
4. It was a joy to sit on the patio reading and drinking ginger ale.
5. It‘s always a joy to walk around the lake, but especially this time of year.
#5joysfriday

TheBookHippie Oh ginger ale. Yum. 7mo
DebinHawaii A lovely list of joys! 💛💛💛 Love seeing 🦌 too, even with the problems & I love ginger ale!. Thanks for sharing & spreading the joy! 🤗 7mo

I found this #Canadian 🇨🇦 Reading Challenge today by a woman I follow on Instagram (@bookishcanuck) (she‘s not on Litsy). I‘m going to try and follow this one. It‘s called # TrueNorthReads. I didn‘t do any challenges last year at all so want to try and get to a few this year. Bummer the Reading Women Challenge is no more. I tried to do that one every year.

Penny_LiteraryHoarders I‘ll try and get the picture up. It‘s not working right now. 3y
Lindy A Canadian reading challenge sounds great! Is it only on Instagram? I tried searching for it there without success. Or is there a weblink you can paste in? 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Lindy I‘ll send you the challenge image. I think she may only be on Instagram? 3y
Lindy @Penny_LiteraryHoarders Assuming that you will shadow the Giller again, you should have no problem ticking most of these boxes with Giller reading alone. 3y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @Lindy and you too Lindy?? 🤗😃 3y

Where are all my fellow Canadian Littens? Can I get a 🙋‍♀️ or 🙋‍♂️.

I want to connect with more Canadians, but I keep losing track of who's from the Great White North. Also, how does #CanadaGoesPostal work? And are there any other Canadian groups like that I can join?

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadian Littens! What are your plans for celebrating the holiday?

Bklover Happy Canada Day to you! 🇨🇦 6y

Cheering on Canadian athletes in South Korea from the host city of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, which were very spring like (cherry blossoms were out at the Art Gallery; was warm even by Vancouver standards). Got this shirt from the HBC downtown Vancouver location after standing in line for an hour to get Canadian Olympic gear.

I would like to explain why I would like my Canadian book to be based in WW1.

The actual prompt is: A book that takes place where an ancestor has lived.

The above screenshot gives details of my ancestor who moved to Canada before the war for a job, but died fighting for the country in 1916.

llwheeler Do you know what part of Canada he lived in? 7y

🇨🇦 So I live in the US, but my company is getting some business in Canada and I'm going to be the manager for the people we hire that live/work there. Realizing I know NOTHING really about Canada except how great Trudeau seems.

Any book recs? Looking for nonfiction or fiction but I'd like to read things that give me a feel for the culture & history. 🇨🇦

#help #bookrecs #recommendationsneeded #Canada #please #

Smartypants Anne of Green Gables series by LM Montgomery 7y
TheKidUpstairs Oh so many recs! I'm a proud Canadian and I love Can Lit 😁 For historical non-fiction, Pierre Berton has some great books 7y
TheKidUpstairs For fiction: Stuart MacLean's Vinyl Cafe series are fun classic Canadiana 7y

TheKidUpstairs I love Michael Ondaatje, and this one is focused on Toronto and the immigrants who helped build it. Ann absolutely beautiful book (fiction) 7y
SarahSaysRead @TheKidUpstairs Yay! I'll look for that one and take any others you have 😉 7y
TheKidUpstairs A tough read, but so important to or country right now 7y
TheKidUpstairs Not a book (yet), but Desmond Cole's long form article The Skin I'm In is a powerful and important read on race relations in Canada (Toronto specifically) and the issue of Police carding. 7y
TheKidUpstairs Sorry to bombard your feed! What part of Canada will you be working with? We're a pretty spread out country, so I can target further recs if you want them! 7y
SarahSaysRead @TheKidUpstairs I love it, thank you!!! All over, so far we got hires in NS, ON, and AB. (I work for a staff/contracting agency, on a national account). HOPEFULLY I'll be making trips up in the next few months but that'll probably be closer to the NY / Canada border. 7y

For #CanadaDay150 I grabbed some books by Canadian authors. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🎈🎈🎈♥♥♥

Letmetakeashelfie Kelley Armstrong used to be one of my favorites ever. What series are those from? I don't think I have ever heard of that one. 7y
Amanda23 @Letmetakeashelfie The Women of the Otherworld, Rockton, Cainville and The Darkest Powers. I guess it's pretty easy to tell I'm a huge fan of hers. 7y

Letmetakeashelfie I totally didn't realize the ones on top were the other World Series! Lol cover changes mix me up sometimes. I loooooved those. Are the rest YA? I recently tried Missing. But that's the only foray I've made into the others. And I thought that I was a fan before this moment lol 7y
Amanda23 @Letmetakeashelfie The Cainsville and Rockton books are adult. Darkest power books are YA. I highly recommend The Cainsville series. 7y

So I've been chatting on an important girl guide cookie thread about #litsy folks who are from Canada or #Canlittens (good one, @rabbitprincess 😀). I'm curious who all lives in Canada or is from Canada? Where do you live? I live in Toronto, Ontario. I was born in Guelph. 🇨🇦
