If you’ve been following along with us all month, you’ve already seen our Forget-Me-Not features where we got historical with a feature book about under-represented moments of Canada’s distant and near past.

For our final week, we remembered the 1989 Montreal Massacre with Dancing in Red Shoes Will Kill You (Inanna Publications); rioted with Reading the Riot Act (Anvil Press); dug into the current era of reconciliation in Canada with The Land We Are (ARP); recalled the tipping point for the Toronto Blue Jays with Great Expectations (ECW Press); and got poetic with the language of oil in Endangered Hydrocarbons (BookThug).
