A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush--part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bAll EBSCO eBooks 600 10 Beaton, Kate,|d1983- 650 0 Petroleum industry and trade|xSocial aspects|zCanada |vComic books, strips, etc. 650 7 Petroleum industry and trade|xSocial aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01059643 651 0 Canada|vComic books, strips, etc. 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 Comics (Graphic works)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921613 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBeaton, Kate, 1983- illustrator. |tDucks.|bFirst edition.|d[Montréal, Québec] : Drawn and Quarterly, 2022|z9781770462892|w(OCoLC)1320870463 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=3363526|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
