The TradeWaiters 91: “Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands” Part 2 by Kate Beaton


Jam, Jeff, and JD return to Alberta for the rest of Kate Beaton’s Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands. We still have lots to talk about as Kate survives her own journey of being metaphorically trapped in a tailings pond. We’ll talk about resource extraction, Canadian history, late capitalism, misogyny, and (be warned) sexual assault.

Also mentioned in this episode:
Paying the Land by Joe Sacco
and Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort of) by Kathleen Gros
