We are proud to be the publisher of The First Survivor: Life with Canada's Deadliest Mass Shooter by Lisa Banfield, with Sherri Aikenhead and Maureen Banfield.

In the book and in this clip from CBC The Current, Lisa speaks with clarity and courage about her experience of intimate partner violence, and about what it means to survive, to be heard, and to be believed.

We stand with Lisa, and with all survivors of IPV.

If you or someone you love needs support, help is available. You are not alone.

We noticed last year that virtually every planner available in the Canadian market has generic or American holidays and content, so we made a new one. Welcome to The Canadian Planner 2026!

This elegant, thoughtfully designed planner is an indispensable companion for staying on top of your busy life and celebrating the true north strong and free. With two days per page, a clean layout, and generous space for appointments, notes, and to-dos, it keeps you focused and productive. Sprinkled throughout are:

🇨🇦 key national observances
🇨🇦 public holidays and civic observances
🇨🇦 famous birthdays and historical notes
🇨🇦 major arts, culture, and sports events
🇨🇦 natural and astronomical occasions, weather highs and lows, and even bird migration and fruiting seasons.

Beautifully packaged in faux leather with silver foil accents and a ribbon marker, the Canadian Planner is the perfect gift this holiday season - and we're offering bulk discounts, so don't forget to get one for yourself too!

🇨🇦 It’s here. Don’t Be Canada is officially out today.

Tristin Hopper’s scorching new book pulls no punches in telling the tragicomic story of how Canada, once a model of moderation, became a cautionary tale.

From real estate absurdity and Orwellian internet laws to pandemic glory-hole advice and euthanasia on demand, Don’t Be Canada is as shocking as it is darkly hilarious.

📘 Available now wherever books are sold.

Andrew Coyne, one of Canada’s most respected political thinkers, delivers a powerful and timely wake-up call in The Crisis of Canadian Democracy.

With clarity, wit, and urgency, Coyne dismantles the myths Canadians tell themselves about their political system and lays bare the decline of Parliament, the concentration of power, and the erosion of true democratic accountability.

But this is more than just a critique—it’s a call to action, offering a bold vision for how we can restore meaningful self-government in Canada.

The Crisis of Canadian Democracy is available May 6 and open for pre-orders now on sutherlandhousebooks.com! Don’t miss one of the most important political books of the year.
