Yesterday, two of our customers got hitched at the restaurant next door. Between ceremony and reception guests were invited to choose a book from our shop. We kept a running tab. An open book bar!

Canadian media needs to up its game when it comes to covering #Africa & #SouthAmerica. We’re falling embarrassingly short of the mark. It’s unacceptable & a disservice to our audiences. If we can devote resources to covering Europe/US we can do the same elsewhere. #cdnmedia
