Can.'t lit.

Below is a link I stole from the Walrus Magazine's twitter feed. It's a fabulous blog entry by Emmet Matheson that reads like an obit for publishing in Canada.

It's a prescient piece as Cassie and I try to breathe new life into Will Magazine (which I can't even attach a link to for shame because securing ads to fund the print costs to get the content out there is like climbing the mountain to get the oxygen tanks that some douchbag left halfway up there).

For a country with such an amazing literary tradition, we sure are a bunch of illiterate textual consumers. Hard to call anyone a "reader" if all they read are the snippets and slugs attached to photos on the internet.

Have a read and judge for yourself:
