I remember Peggy Burns, the publisher who doesn't mind being the Ducks (2022) publisher for the rest of her life. Whatever direction D&Q goes, that wasn't asked. She said to the three other people on stage, after a compliment that is was "Very sweet of you guys" for them just saying that.
I say this to counteract any legends that pop-up about what could happen if an Anarchist was there. No one got angry with anyone else; there was an appropriate time for mocking authors who are a handful (all of them) not doing things in a professional manner.
Also Silver Sprocket is run by decent people and doesn't have shareholders who instruct them to pay monsters who make profits.
The Land Acknowledgements also had more heft than they usually do here in Canada, with entreatment to find which treaty makes you treaty people. As I know that the Reference Library and my house are here because of the Upper Canada Treaties, made up of William's Treaty and Treaty 13, together over a hundred years apart from each other (1923, 1805).
