Woof, this is so good!!!! (Also didn't know you were a fellow Canuck, but as soon as you said Reference Library I knew you were in TO too 😊) Loved this, thank you for sharing!

That last paragraph pole-vaulted me into space

I feel like you’ve perfectly captured the intersectional moment of NBA, cinema, and political discourse

As a dual citizen [mom born in Sask] I remember how betrayed Canadians felt when The Great One left for LA. Well penned.

I so enjoy your writing! I have the same same kind of feeling you describe coming out of the the theater when I finish reading your work…

That same delicious satisfaction of being bathed by inspiration!

Btw I watched Trudeau’s speech too and felt a real welling of pride for Canadians! I’m in Maine but will be totally rooting for our neighbors up north! I wish Maine would secede and join the Maritimes so we could fight this horror show with you!
