A Canadian news media story on book banning incidents in the United States, and possibly similar to come in Canada:

Although the title "Here Is Every Book Banned in America" is misleading, Bazaar reproduced PEN's long list of books that were banned or challenged within the USA during the first half of the 2022 (into 2023) school year.

The book titles link to book pages on the indie seller website Bookshop.org for descriptions or buying options.
