![]() ![]() Merely walking along a highway can violate the law. The legislation also introduces more opportunities for authorities to harass and intimidate Indigenous Peoples in their daily lives. Introduced in the midst of Wet’suwet’en land defence and passed during the COVID-19 emergency, the Alberta act targets Indigenous people who protect the land, the environment, Indigenous women and Indigenous self-determination. But the penalties are limitless, because every day permits a new infraction. Violations of the act can result in fines of $1,000 to $10,000 for the first offence and up to $25,000 for subsequent offences. Essential infrastructure is broadly defined. It is now illegal to be in areas designated as “essential infrastructure” without a reason. None consider treaty obligations.Īlberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defence Act came into effect on June 17 despite significant public opposition. These provincial reforms expand police powers, introduce military-style weapons and sanction the increased use of force by private individuals. Historically, Canadian state violence against Indigenous Peoples has included direct force and invoking laws to intimidate and dispossess. Recent legal reforms in Alberta and Saskatchewan suggest both provinces could be gearing up for more violence against Indigenous Peoples, even as both commit to reconciliation.

![]() ![]() A dispassionate union free from the entanglements of love and affection. Their marriage was meant to be a business arrangement and nothing more. What he needs, in short, is a wife and a matrimonial advertisement seems the perfect way to acquire one. Someone to manage his household-and warm his bed on occasion. Now, he needs someone to smooth the way for him with the villagers. ![]() Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores, and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill-though he may be tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome-is anything but a romantic hero. But Greyfriar's Abbey isn't the sort of refuge she imagined. Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means traveling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger. ![]() ![]() ![]() Leonard doesn’t have much by way of rich narrative material to work with. Telling this story as well as Kochland does is harder than it looks, and not just for the obvious reasons. Kochland is a corporate history, lucidly told. Not since Andrew Ross Sorkin’s landmark Too Big to Fail.have I said this about a book, but Kochland warrants it: If you’re in business, this is something you need to read. Each story illustrates one corner of a vast corporate empire. He does it by unspooling a series of granular set pieces and micronarratives, telling the stories of dozens of men and women inside and outside the company. But to a degree I’ve rarely seen, Leonard actually turns this lack of access into a strength. writing the history of a private company without full access is akin to scaling El Capitan without handholds. Tackling the biography of a secretive private company like Koch, which has little need to open itself to scrutiny, is a task of herculean difficulty. He appears to have had only limited access to Koch executives, including, it appears, a single interview with Charles Koch. Īlmost as notable, from a journalist’s point of view, is the degree to which Leonard succeeds without the kind of cooperation all authors seek. Leonard does not judge the Kochs he explains them. But what’s most impressive is its refreshing balance and evenhandedness. ![]() This is a massive, and massively reported, book. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tiwa Savage, the sole nod to contemporary pop trends. “Over 100 countries are watching around the world!” cried host Hugh Bonneville at the concert’s outset, begging the question of how many of them would turn over when they realised there were no unannounced special guests, that the biggest name the show had managed to attract really was the three remaining members of Take That, and that the main surprise was an appearance during their performance by Calum Scott, Britain’s Got Talent runner-up and author of a weepy cover of Robyn’s Dancing On My Own that was briefly inescapable six years ago. Here was more evidence that things hadn’t panned out quite as expected for the Coronation Concert: with the greatest of respect to Olly Murs – who seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and has managed to spin out his career far longer than your average X Factor runner-up – if his is the name you’re reaching for to underline the world-shaking star power assembled for a concert to celebrate King Charles III’s ascension to the throne, then said concert is in a spot of bother.Īnd so it proved. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Transgender History includes informative sidebars highlighting quotes from major texts and speeches in transgender history and brief biographies of key players, plus excerpts from transgender memoirs and discussion of treatments of transgenderism in popular culture.".

He also has his first romantic and sexual experiences and falls in love with Sherry Dyson, a woman from Virginia. He is an avid reader, goaded on by his mother’s sentiment that “the most dangerous place in the world is a public library” and vows to be a better man than Freddie or his abandoning father (25).Īs a teenager growing up in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement and the Sexual Revolution, Gardner gains a sense of himself as a young black man coming of age in a transformative historical period. Gardner grows up with a deep fear of uncertainty, but he is also quick, curious and daring. They all grow to loathe Freddie and, in the instances, that Bettye Jean tries to leave him, he finds some means of reporting her to the police, and the children stay with their uncles and aunts or with foster parents until her release. ![]() ![]() ![]() She has been published in academic journals for which she has authored over 50 essays centered on the interaction between race, faith and gender.
