GAELIC PETITION IN CANADA ๐Ÿ Hi, Dr. Emily McEwan @dremilymcewan here, founder and president of Bradan Press. My personal petition to the Government of Canada is still open to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sign until December 5, 2025. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Please consider signing and sharing with your Canadian friends! ๐Ÿ‘‰ The petition needs to reach 500 signatures by the deadline!๏ฟผ You donโ€™t have to be a Gaelic user to sign the petition!๏ฟผ The petition is asking the Department of Canadian Heritage to change the eligibility guidelines for the existing Canadian publisher support grants, so that Gaelic publishers will no longer fall through the cracks. Iโ€™m petitioning because Bradan Press, based in Nova Scotia, needs the SAME federal creative industry grants to survive that other Canadian book publishers already receive. But long story short, because weโ€™re a Gaelic publisher, we canโ€™t access them. More detail: For one of the programs, Bradan Press isnโ€™t allowed to apply under the minority language publisher eligibility criteria because Gaelic isnโ€™t an official language. For the other program, they wonโ€™t count our Gaelic-language titles for eligibility to apply. The petition lost some momentum due to problems with the Canadian House of Commons website, but they seem to be resolved now! ๐Ÿคž If you tried to sign it before and couldnโ€™t, give it another go!๏ฟผ https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6931 P.S. If youโ€™ve already signed the paper version, thank you, and please *donโ€™t* sign the digital version! P.P.S. If youโ€™re not a Canadian citizen permanent resident, please *donโ€™t* try to sign it. Thereโ€™s a validation process and your signature will be rejected. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Petition ๐Ÿ”— also in bio!

Unfortunately, due to the tariff situation we are SUSPENDING Nova Scotia Gaelic flag orders to the USA on Friday, June 13.

If you place your order today we'll be able to have someone hand-carry it to the USA & ship it there. The flags are manufactured in China by our supplier, which means that if we ship an order to a customer in the USA, the US CBP will charge the customer the current US tariff on goods made in China, even when receiving the parcel from Canada. If US tariffs against China are lifted in the future, we will be happy to start accepting flag orders from the USA again! Thank you for your understanding. * This issue does NOT apply to our books, which are printed in Canada. Our book shipments to the USA remain tariff-free! * This issue also does NOT apply to Gaelic flag orders from Canada, which will continue as usual. #gaelic #gaelicns #novascotia #gaelicflag

The Mayflower (trailing arbutus, epigaea repens) is the provincial flower of Nova Scotia and it's in bloom right now! In Gaelic it's called "neรฒinean-chรนbhraidh" according to Alexander MacDonald, Alasdair Ailein Mhรณr, Bร rd na Ceapaich. His poem, "ร’ran do Neรฒinean-chรนbhraidh" (Address to a Mayflower) in O Cheapaich nan Craobh edited by Trueman & Laurinda Matheson, is excerpted in our Gaelic cookbook, รS AN ABHAINN MHร“IR: ENGLISH-GAELIC RECIPES FROM PICTOU COUNTY!

Did you know that massive tech companies like ๐†๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฅ๐ž & ๐Œ๐ž๐ญ๐š do certain things that actively make life harder for us as a small minority language publisher? ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿฅฒ For example, if you have a ๐†๐ฆ๐š๐ข๐ฅ address, then you may not be getting email communications from Bradan Press! Here's what may happen: โŒ If you order a book from us, you may not get the order confirmation email! โŒ If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may not receive it! โŒ If you pledge to our crowdfunder, and we send you updates and request your address to ship your books, you may not get them! ๐Ÿ˜ข Unfortunately this is happening because we can't afford to subscribe to Google Business so they'll "whitelist" our company email domain (bradanpress dot com). โœ… The only way to ensure you'll ALWAYS get our emails is to add "info [at sign] bradanpress dot com" to your Gmail Contacts list. Can you do it today? P.S. If you correspond with Emily at Bradan Press, it also helps to add her personal work email to your contacts. For example, we've been having a bad communication breakdowns trying to hire a freelancer for a project, because every time we email their Gmail, it goes to their spam, unless we use the contact form on their website (which makes it impossible to send files).

Canada Post is on strike starting today, and we've noticed Canadian online orders dry up in the past week as customers were no doubt anticipating it. ๐Ÿ˜ข BUT the good news is that you can STILL order online from us in Canada and the USA! During the strike we're using Chit Chats, which has contracted with alternate carriers to help keep our orders moving and keep us afloat during this vital season for indie book sales. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ We'll honour our normal shipping prices, which are $6.00 for any order under 500 grams and $14.00 for orders over 500 grams (for orders over 500 g we actually pay $17-$30 depending on proximity and urban vs. rural delivery.) And of course, if you're in HRM or have someone who will be, you can check the box for "Free Local Pickup" and pick it up from us in Dartmouth, not far from the MacDonald Bridge! Please keep in mind that Saturday, December 7, 2024 is our online order deadline to try to ensure you can receive your package by December 24th!
