Canada Reads...

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT July 20th
In 1969, Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. Afterward, people commonly complained, “If they can put a man on the moon, why can’t they ______.” How would you finish that statement today?

My mind is swimming in not so good thoughts today... much has to do with Covid stupidity and the concept of inequality. Both too heavy topics to want to delve into... so I sit here with a dazed face considering my options.

It just might be better not to answer the prompt... I don't feel like offending anyone.

So... I did watch the first episode of Canada Reads tonight. They are choosing the best book to represent Canada for 2020. Each day five people debate the merits of 5 books and each day one is eliminated until only one remains. The books are:
The contenders and their chosen books and their defenders are:
Alayna Fender defending Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club by Megan Gail Coles
Akil Augustine defending Radicalized by Cory Doctorow
Amanda Brugel defending We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib
Kaniehtiio Horn defending Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson
George Canyon defending From the Ashes by Jesse Thistle

Not sure which one I would pick, but Radicalized was eliminated tonight and I am glad about that. It was not all that representative of Canadian lives and tended to be more male based.
