The collection includes an expansion and update of her highly popular Globe and Mail article about "pretendians," as well as "A History of Violence," an essay that appeared in a book about missing and murdered women. Other pieces deal with topics such as discrimination against Indigenous children; what is meant by meaningful reconciliation; and the importance of the Indigenous literary renaissance of the 1970s.

- Crackdown : surviving and resisting the war on drugs / by Mullins, Garth,author.;
"Garth Mullins was born partially blind and with Albinism into a world too bright for him to fully see and too unforgiving to fully accept him. Growing up, he was often bullied, by both students and teachers, who mocked his appearance and trivialized his disability. But Garth found strength and purpose in anti-fascist activism and punk rock, a scene that accepted him for who he was and offered an escape from the malignant drudgery of his suburban Vancouver neighbourhood. He also found solace in heroin, spurring an addiction that would span three decades. Garth's own experiences as a heroin user, complete with dope sickness, incarceration and overdose, is a common story for those struggling with heroin and opioid addictions. And for Garth, it was this realization, while fighting his addiction, that led him to drug activism. He had seen first-hand the failure of abstinence-based recovery programs, the fatal threat posed by unsafe drug supplies, the over-representation of drug users, particularly Black and Indigenous users, in jails and prisons. And he saw that far from the government being successful in its attempt to curb drug use, its war against drugs had been a deadly failure. Weaving together Garth's raw and intimate account of his own addiction with the broader issues and history surrounding drug treatment and policy, Crackdown challenges the received wisdom of how best to treat addiction and ensure the safety of drug users."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Mullins, Garth.; Addicts; Heroin abuse; People with albinism; People with visual disabilities; Recovering addicts;

- Wild hope : a novel / by Thomas, Joan(Sandra Joan),author.;
"Isla, a chef and co-owner of a farm-to-table restaurant on the brink of closing, and Jake, a visual artist tormented by the oil-and-gas legacy of his late father, are a couple drifting apart. A looming figure in both their lives is Reg Bevaqua, Jake's childhood friend turned enemy turned bottled water baron. Reg is a demanding regular at Isla's restaurant and a man with a seething resentment toward Jake. With good reason the feeling is mutual, but Jake keeps their past from Isla as he follows a devastating trail to the source of Reg's wealth. When Jake disappears following a winter camping trip, Isla starts to connect the dots, with all roads leading to Reg and his magnificent island property on Georgian Bay. Seamlessly weaving in observations on the entitlements of the wealthy, the monetization of water, and the politics of art, Joan Thomas has created a layered, page-turning read about how far we will go to hold on to power and what we will do to avenge old wounds."--- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Control (Psychology); Cooks; Married people; Missing persons;
