Wow! Poutine was selected by @cbcbooks as one of the best Canadian nonfiction books of 2024.
It’s still an amazing feeling that anyone has read it and enjoyed it. 🍟🧀🤎

Hey Ottawa. I just spoke with All in a Day about tonight’s Poutine chat at Perfect Books. Drop in if you can. https://t.co/3Om3RWeC1C

[Sean Silcoff @SeanSilcoff]

Looking forward to this event on Elgin St this Wednesday almost as much as the dinner @justinCgio will have just before we talk about his delightful book “Poutine: A Deep-Fried Roadtrip of Discovery.” Three guesses what will be on the menu.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

The official book launch of Poutine, in Montreal, is now set for Nov. 6 from 5-7pm at Paragraphe.
We’ll have some food and great conversation.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

Ottawa people: mark your calendars🚨, I’ll be talking about Poutine next week with @SeanSilcoff.
I’d love to see you all there for what promises to be a fun conversation.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

A wonderful review out on my book Poutine from @quillandquire. Copies are now widely available across Canada.

One of the things I learned was that 2010 was a really important year for poutine. Here’s a fun teaser for the book in today’s Globe.

Opinion: Poutine becoming a Canadian symbol was decades in the making https://t.co/rr3glCRZNL

I had a great time chatting with CBC’s The Current today about Poutine. The book will be available tomorrow and I’ll be signing some copies at Jean-Talon Market in Montreal.

Let me know what’s your favourite poutine.

Had a great evening in Toronto yesterday talking about Poutine at TIFA. Was great to hear people’s stories afterwards.
The book launches officially next weekend.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

A week before my book, Poutine, is officially launched it'll be available for an event Saturday at the Toronto International Festival of Authors.
There will be good conversation and even better poutine.

@DavidHains Thanks David, I appreciate that. Hope you’re well.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

I’m happy to finally announce my next project: a book about the history of poutine and my family story. Much poutine was consumed during research.
It’s being released next month with a book launch at Jean Talon Market in Montréal. I hope you can join me.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

Very excited to learn that my upcoming book Poutine has been included in CBC Books' list of Canadian nonfiction to check out this Fall. https://t.co/EYiMzjK8RQ

@CarrieTait You're doing a great job!
Let's talk after this guy figures out how to hold his head up straight.

@marcdaalder @awbraae I still think @awbraae would have been fantastic on a pair of skates. Alas...
I’d still join your league Marc, my nzpol membership card is around here somewhere.

Le chandail bleu-blanc-rouge n’est plus sacré.
Writing in La Presse, @kick1972 protests the Montreal Canadiens' decision to add a corporate logo to its jersey, one of the most legendary in sport.

@NickLovettNZ Thanks Nick. It’s a bit of a shame but my wife is a New Zealander so I’d bet on us being back at some point in the future. I’m still reading The Bulletin every morning and thinking about NZ.

[Justin Giovannetti @justinCgio]

You think it's bad here? I wrote on the weekend about how Canada must learn from the cautionary tale of New Zealand's housing market.

@GouldKevin Thanks man! Nice to be back.
Like what you’ve done with the place.

@sproudfoot I've always sat up and paid attention to your byline. Thanks for the adventures through your words and I can't wait to see where you end up.
