2022 Year in Review
The curtain will soon fall on 2022, a year that started with so much optimism after two years of Covid restrictions, vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Instead of a rebound to normal, many other issues have risen to prominence during the year.
In today’s show, we look back at some of those events of 2022 and where they may lead us in 2023.
Our Unpublished.vote question is:
What do you feel was the biggest story in Canada this year?
* The Freedom Convoy and use of Emergencies Act
* Liberal NDP Cooperation pact
* Pierre Poilievre winning the Conservative leadership race
* Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

The Emergencies Act Inquiry
The Emergencies Act Inquiry, which probes whether the federal government was able to utilize such powers to bring the Ottawa occupation to an end, has been running for about three weeks now with plenty more testimony to come.
From this vantage point the one thing that is very clear is that no level of government was competent in ending the occupation until the Act was finally implemented. A municipal government that was led by a questionable police force, a provincial government that sat on its hands and continues to do so. And a federal government with a front row view of the occupation that paralyzed the city for more than three weeks.
Through it all, the residents of Ottawa were tormented by the hundreds of truckers and thousands of protesters who initially came to demonstrate against vaccine mandates.
Our Unpublished.vote question asks:
Was the Emergencies Act required to bring an end to the occupation?
* Yes
* No
* Unsure

Interview with Sarah Bonato: Searching the grey literature
Our guest, Sarah Bonato, is Librarian at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
In this interview, we explore the story behind, and need for, Sarahs' book, Searching the grey literature.
We ask, what are the key messages for readers and consumers of grey literature and for librarians and information professionals?
Finally, we consider how the role of grey literature changed during the coronavirus pandemic.
