Calls for Papers


This week has seen absolutely abhorrent violence on the part of the RCMP against non-violent protestors on Wet’suwet’en lands at the Gidimt’en Checkpoint and Unist’ot’en Camp. History is an important part of understanding what is going on.


It has been quite an eventful four weeks. I hope you enjoyed this giant-sized roundup. If you did, please consider sharing it on the social media platform of your choice! And don’t forget to check back on Tuesday for the November/December edition Best New Articles! I promise, it’s just a regular-sized one. See you then!
