A great vibrant read pointing out the reality of the Columbus explorations on native land – there’s even reference to Jacques Cartier; the next settler. Hysterical, satirical, and masterfully ambiguous is how I’d describe this work. All I can say that’s it’s important; an important reminder to Canadian history and history in general about colonialism and land appropriation that’s often disregarded/forgotten in our modern world.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
