When I think about what makes Canada great, fresh water is right at the top of the list. We have over two million lakes in this country and more than enough people who are willing to mess with them. My Canada includes weird scientists who are devoted to keeping our water clean. When we stand up and we sing O Canada, we pledge to stand on guard for thee. If that doesn't include our water, we might as well sit down and give up.

I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity offender.

You know, we have main English language parties, federalist parties, and traditionally the ones to watch would be the Conservatives, who form the government, and then the Liberals.

The US is our trading partner, our neighbour, our ally and our friend... and sometimes we'd like to give them such a smack!

Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull.

I don't believe in outing people. It's up to the individual, but there's nothing wrong putting the pressure on.

Here's to democracy. May we get the government we deserve.
