“To keep Canadian-published books on shelves and in international markets, we need both immediate relief and long-term investment.” bit.ly/3Xo1gRh Don Gorman on why Canadian publishers need urgent action on potential U.S. tariffs.

From the pages of our January/February 2025 issue: The arrival of a peculiar iceberg thaws out a new kind of grief in a woman who lost her husband to the waters of the bay it towers over. Read “Pack Ice Season,” a new short story from Bridget Canning: thewalrus.ca/pack-ice-season/
This story by @bridgetcanning.bsky.social in the most recent @thewalrus.ca is brilliant. Read it. It will make you remember why you love short stories.
