For a decade, Canada's authors have not been paid when our books are copied in educational settings. Books are work, and workers should be paid. Amend the Copyright Act! @twuc @JustinTrudeau @pablorodriguez @FP_Champagne#IValueCdnStories #cdnpoli #creatorscallingonottawa https://t.co/wbmg1LCDEE

Writing a book is...heart & soul work. But royalties have declined 75% since the Copyright Act was amended (2012). The fed gov't CAN fix this & should. I'm standing w/my fellow 🇨🇦 creators urging for action.
