Join author Mark Critch for the launch of Sorry, Not Sorry: An Unapologetic Look at What Makes Canada Worth Fighting For.
Known for his sharp-witted skits on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Mark Critch uses his keen observational skills to explore Canadian identity and the new wave of Canadian patriotism.
In Sorry, Not Sorry, Critch delves into the heart of what it means to be Canadian at a time when national pride is on the rise. Examining everything from Newfoundland’s historic decision to join Canada to the modern-day implications of the Freedom Convoy and the evolving symbolism of the Canadian flag, he reminds us of where we came from—and of the many reasons Canada is worth fighting for. Elbows up!
Cost: $25 plus HST. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
A cash bar and reception will follow the presentation, with an opportunity to get your book signed. The Rooms Giftshop will be open for your shopping convenience, where books will be available for purchase.
