Elbows up! On Canadian resistance: BC Libraries Present virtual author talk group livestream

Bring your lunch and join us in the New West Library Event Space (Room N2100B) for a group viewing as we livestream Elbows Up! On Canadian Resistance, a BC Libraries Present virtual author talk with CBC host Elamin Abdelmahmoud.

It's 2025. Donald Trump is president. And he is insisting that Canada is for sale. It feels disorienting, even existential, to watch a trade war escalate and to hear an American president vow to make Canada "the 51st state." Amid this disorientation, there is an urgent question: how do we meet the moment?

CBC host Elamin Abdelmahmoud edited Elbows Up!, a collection of essays and reflections by leading cultural figures speaking candidly on America, on Canada, and on the malleable contours of a national narrative still taking hold.

Come hear Elamin and two contributors (to be revealed soon) discuss this pivotal moment in history, how we got here, and how we walk together into an uncertain future.
