AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Book Publishing & Culture: A new book, A Losing Hand: The Human Cost of Canada’s Gambling Epidemic, by Rob Csernyik (Sutherland House) digs into debt, addiction, mental health and suicide tied to Canada’s gambling industry, arguing governments are incentivized to expand it. Indigenous Language & Kids’ Books: Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley’s children’s title Mooz/Moose uses Nishnaabemwin alongside English to help young readers learn language early, inspired by his late grandmother. Books to Screen in Canada: Heated Rivalry is now landing in classrooms at UVic, with courses examining the show’s themes and how the novels became TV. Queer Law & Literature: UVic’s Faculty of Law is also using the series for a seminar on law and queer joy, identity, sports, race and colonialism. International Publishing Policy: Australia passed a news-publisher levy law for major tech platforms unless they strike deals—another pressure point for Canada’s own streaming/news ecosystem. Community Reading Spaces: Toronto’s Book Bar is highlighted as a buzzy addition to the city’s literary scene.
