If you’ve never considered Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson a legitimate Oscar candidate, you can be forgiven. The Rock’s body of work, while impressive, hasn’t really been compared to the likes of De Niro’s, Denzel’s or Pacino’s. That may be about to change. Johnson recently received an emotional, 15-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival for his moving performance in “The Smashing Machine.” Read more from [@Variety](

The Conservative premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, has accused the Edmonton Public School Board of "vicious compliance" after the board banned 200 titles in response to a directive to remove books that are not age-appropriate from library shelves. Smith highlighted graphic novels such as "Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe to illustrate the type of books she meant, but the board removed classics like Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale," Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." Smith said: "They have obviously put books on there that there was never any intention of having them target those books." Public School Board chair Julie Kusiek said that the list meets the criteria set out by the government and consequently that "several excellent books will be removed from our shelves this fall." She urged those unhappy with the removal or criteria to contact the Minister of Education and Childcare directly. Here's more from CTV.
