Iambic Cafe | food & poetry, but mostly the poetry of food
Kate Braid
Dear lovers of Canadian books: For 10 years, since amendments to the Canadian Copyright Act, creators like me have not been paid by educational institutions when our work is copied. It’s meant a dramatic drop in writers’ incomes, which weren’t generous in the first place. It seems astonishing that institutions where people make good salaries, would refuse to pay writers a few cents per page for use of our work in their classrooms.
Please support amending the Copyright Act so I can keep telling Canadian stories. The “ I Value Canadian Stories ” website offers suggestions on how you can do so.
