With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush--part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed. Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C489184</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C489184</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beaton, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/489184195</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Two Years in the Oil Sands</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770466531/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[King Baby]]></title><description><![CDATA[All hail King Baby!

A Vagrant, explores connections between class, literature, and art from Cape Breton Island. In this thought-provoking book, Beaton addresses the often overlooked impact of class on the Canadian arts scene. The book highlights the reality that people from poor or working-class backgrounds face significant barriers to becoming artists, limiting their ability to share their stories and contribute to the collective culture. This lack of representation in art, music, and literature can empower or stereotype, edify or diminish, or worse, erase entire communities. Beaton emphasizes that if working-class and poor people do not write themselves into stories, others will, often with damaging results. Drawing on examples from work published about Cape Breton, Beaton sheds light on the portrayal of working-class lives. She juxtaposes this with her personal experiences, her family's stories, and the inspiring work of other Cape Bretoners. Despite economic hardships, her community has long valued and created art: art for no money, for each other, for themselves, for memory, for joy. Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour thoughtfully examines personal and working class legacies, celebrating the authenticity and power of truly seeing ourselves and each other in the art that we create"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C546626</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C546626</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Beaton, Kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/546626195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772128000/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dirty Birds]]></title><description><![CDATA[In late 2007, as the world's economy crumbles and Barack Obama ascends to the White House, the remarkably unremarkable Milton Ontario - not to be confused with Milton, Ontario - leaves his parents' basement in Middle-of-Nowhere, Saskatchewan, and sets forth to find fame, fortune, and love in the Euro-lite electric sexuality of Montreal; to bask in the endless twenty-something Millennial adolescence of the Plateau; to escape the infinite flatness of Saskatchewan and find his messiah - Leonard Cohen. Hilariously ironic and irreverent, in Dirty Birds, Morgan Murray generates a quest novel for the twenty-first century--a coming-of-age, rom-com, crime-farce thriller--where a hero's greatest foe is his own crippling mediocrity as he seeks purpose in art, money, power, crime, and sleeping in all day.]]></description><link>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C193046</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C193046</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Murray, Morgan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagesspl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/193046195</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781550818079/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Step Aside, Pops]]></title><description><![CDATA["Ida B.
