I just finished reading Housemates by Emma Copley Eisenberg; it came out in May, and I really enjoyed it. I ended up reading half of it and then listening to the rest as an audiobook, so that I could move and do stuff while still absorbing it. I really enjoyed that.

The narrator is this woman in her 70s, she’s queer and her partner has passed away — they had lung cancer and died 15 years before the actual narration of the book begins. It seems like she’s kind of going through this second grieving process, 15 years after her partner’s death. And then she kind of stumbles upon these two queer-presenting people in a coffee shop, and it’s unclear if she actually follows them home, or if she’s sort of retelling her relationship with her partner through these two people. It’s kind of like an imagined relationship these two people are having. It’s very interesting.

Bombers offensive co-ordinator Condell takes accountability for loss to Elks

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:51 PM CDT

Tommy Condell isn’t about to throw his hands up in frustration. That’s simply not the way the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive co-ordinator is wired.

And while the state of the offence remains a source of consternation for many in the Bombers fan base, Condell continues to plug away at ensuring steps will be taken to raise the efficiency levels down the stretch.

The club appeared to have taken a significant step forward in that category last Friday, jumping out to a 16-0 lead in the second quarter that became a 10-point cushion at the half after the Edmonton Elks scored a late major.

Then came a head-scratching third quarter that featured a pair of two-and-outs for the visitors at Commonwealth Stadium in what eventually became a 22-19 defeat.

Ex-MP Mark facing additional charges after RCMP find 445 guns, explosives at Dauphin home

Scott Billeck 2 minute read 2:13 PM CDT

A former Member of Parliament accused of firearms trafficking is facing 26 additional charges after an RCMP investigation uncovered 445 guns and more than four times the legal limit of explosives at his Dauphin home.

Inky Mark, 78, now faces a total of 38 charges in connection with the months-long investigation, RCMP said Wednesday.

Police searched a Dauphin residence in July, seizing hundreds of firearms, ammunition, an antique cannon and more than $300,000 in cash.

Mark, who served as an MP in the riding of Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette between 1997 and 2010, was initially charged with 12 weapons-related offences, including firearms trafficking, possessing a firearm with a tampered serial number and possession of property obtained by crime.
