SOUNDBITE (English) CANADIAN AUTHOR, MARGARET ATWOOD, SAYING:
"For penance, I'll buy a couple dozen sheets of the new stamp. Stick them on letters that call for action on climate change, and an end to racial-gender discrimination, and send them to all the Conservatives on Parliament Hill and all the Republicans in the American Congress. That should rattle the wind and shake the trees."
'Handmaid's Tale' was made into
an award-winning TV series
