    Literature in English: Teaching

    Literature in French: Theory and Criticism

    No French-language literary critic in Canada seems to have stature among writers equal to that of Bayle, Sainte-Beuve or Barthes in France. Nevertheless, several writers have won a degree of prominence as much (if not more) for their works of criticism as for their other writings.

    Little Sister’s Book and Art Emporium

    Little Sister’s Book and Art Emporium has long served as a source of 2SLGBTQ+ literature in Vancouver. Founded by Bruce Smyth and his partner Jim Deva in 1983, the bookstore has also been a social and political focal point for the communities it serves. As Deva has asserted, “More than anything else, Little Sister’s represents the power of community.” This power drove Little Sister’s decades-long legal battle with Canada Customs over censorship and the seizure of imported gay literature. Little Sister’s is one of four 2SLGBTQ+ spaces featured in Canada Post's 2026 Places of Pride stamp collection, issued on 9 June 2026.

    Lizard Species in Canada

    Lizards are reptiles that belong to several suborders within the order Squamata (which also includes snakes). They are the most diverse group of living reptiles and are found on all continents except Antarctica. There are six species of lizard currently found in Canada. In addition, one species, the pygmy short-horned lizard, is extirpated. This means that, while it continues to live in other parts of its range, it is no longer found in Canada. Five of the six lizard species in Canada are native, while the sixth, the common wall lizard, is introduced from Europe.
