Has this happened to you? Can I, as a Canadian, get books ordered in from American libraries? Is it over?

I don't know anon, but that paper you are working on sounds a bit antisemetic.

It's a history of a defunct South African bank (1890s to 1910s). I'm only really getting into the history because the editor of the journal I submitted to didn't like how my first draft was mostly just a discussion on the bank's banknotes. I keep my anti-semitic writings to myself and /pol/.

Most recently, Y-haplogroup studies have suggested his claims that much of what's now Georgia was once an Egyptian colony is true.
