Heeeeeyy. Leave our successful Albertan exports alone! Hanna (where Nickelback is from) is quaint, from what I’ve been told.

In Alberta, one common event for the engineering schools is to take a busload of students to small towns within an hours drive and “Drink an unsuspecting small town dry” (DUSTED). Literally drinking an entire small town, usually just the main bar, dry of every single drop of alcoholic beverages, including the most…

All of the potential women were great, but I’m especially happy we’re going with Viola Desmond with the current social and political climate in North America. Maybe in a few years we can add one of the scientists to a bill!

I first read it as 30 in 2012. I’m relieved I was wrong.

Ugh ugh ugh. That’s awful, but thanks for bringing it up. I’ve been very loud since the election, and I have no plans to shut up anytime soon. We have way too many important elections coming up way too fast, and a hell of a lot of leaders being elected.

I’ve heard. and I’m horrified. I’m preparing myself to get very very very loud in the coming months and years.

I have been having serious reconsiderations about how I view a man I thought I would move across the country for. I’m Canadian, but as you’ve probably heard (or not, I can’t tell how much you guys realize we exist), we have been following this shitshow religiously. He thinks its funny and supports Trump, much to my…

Le what.

I had a facebook commentor today state that she thought that racism and sexism were ‘part of the human condition’ and were just a part of a person. They weren’t taught or learned, someone was just that way. Therefore how could we ever vote for a criminal (aka Hillary) or Trump (just a poor man on the racism spectrum).

Word. Other Canuck. This was hard to read. but very useful as ammo to send to any mild Trump supporters I know.

I’m Canadian, and this election was painful to watch. I’ve never before felt the need to watch the counting of the votes, etc. Because honestly, we didn’t much care. We’d see what happened in the morning, whatever.

She inspired me? I think she was stuck with quite the uphill battle, which was part of why she didn’t reach people emotionally like Obama or Trump. I’m also not convinced that she could ever really reach people like that, she doesn’t have the charisma or charm or... baffling something (?) that some people have, but…

I’m Canadian and this morning I had a good cry when I saw the results. This will likely affect Canada’s economy but I’m way more concerned with the 20 steps back the US just took regarding gender equality. I really hope that this plague doesn’t spread up North, or around the world.

Why thank you! I approach it by knowing that my safety and comfort is more important than someone elses bruised ego.

Yeah, definitely not like my mom. Mine is very very very much like me in a lot of ways. Pretty sure we’re both very extroverted people with high-functioning anxiety issues, one manifestation of which is social anxiety. I’ll stop that tangent right there.

What channel!? I doubt I have access to it, but that’s awesome. I’ll keep an eye out.

HOLY SHIT. Are you me? I inherited sensitivity/very high emotional awareness from my mom and have managed to avoid assault, but know of way too many friends who have been assaulted. I’ve attributed it to both exuding as much confidence and GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY, as possible, but also trusting my gut. Was also…

Gah! The instinct! I went on a few dates with this guy once. Seemed great on paper, nice enough guy, and I’ll know really quite know what freaked me out but on the third date... I just got this awful stomach clenching nope nope nope nope nope feeling. I left very abruptly, and never heard from the guy again. I’ll…

Word. I love my condo since people really do take better care of things they own than things they rent. Some people do rent out their condos, but we also have a security guard/concierge that makes sure randoms aren’t wandering in; and who actually do seem to do their job.

Oh my god. I never really thought about what might happen if they did do a gay bachelor. That would be so fun to watch.
