i'm not saying it isn't sad and stuff, but sad gets you a pity donation, not a gig on the $5.

it really is like turfing jefferson in favour of forrest gump....

laurier is known for the manitoba compromise, an important component of our existing constitutional framework.

terry fox is known for dying before he got to manitoba.

it seems obvious what the right choice is, but that could just as well be an argument for the opposite one, with this backwards government.

canada, where we give it all we got, and fail terribly every time.

if we can't have laurier anymore, can we at least put a guy that finished the race on the bill instead? can we maintain some semblance of pride and accomplishment?

you wonder why we're third rate...

...just look at the people we look up to.

why not just put forrest gump on there?

run, terry....run.....

i really hope that the first thing the next government does is put our greatest leader, laurier, back on it.

terry fox was a failure. and a loser.

he tried really hard though, right?

nobody cares - he failed.

what an embarrassment: canada, land of the losers and failures, where the sick come to die.

it's important to realize that this law doesn't attempt to regulate wardrobe in private life, or even in private business, but rather erects a very strict separation wall between the church and the state, in order to protect children from religion.

and, it is important that you understand that this is what the argument is: that children need to be protected from religion.

it's not about race or about gender or about inclusion or exclusion, it's about a society that wishes to extricate itself from superstition and raise a generation free from it's influence.

and, i stand with that society, for those reasons - religion has no place at school, in any context.

i've talked to doctors, and while they seem to suggest i'm exaggerating (i'm not.), the consensus is that they can't do anything besides give me drugs, and i don't do drugs.

like, i won't even take an aspirin.

the pain seems to have finally subsided fully (length: 22 hours), but i'm still absolutely exhausted and will be for days.

i smelled something last night, and i felt myself triggered by it. i know that second-hand smoke of any type does that to me - it's repeatedly demonstrable. so, i have no reason to make further assumptions as to the cause, when what happened has happened before and came from a known trigger.

well, stay away from me, then.

the feeling's mutual.

i'm not getting vaccinated.

sorry.

it was about 21:00 last night that i stopped to get something to eat and got a whiff of something brutal from upstairs that may have been unusually garlicky food or very stinky feet, but that i suspect was probably somebody smoking mushrooms. whatever it was, breathing it in triggered a brutal migraine that i'm only starting to recover from, right now.

so, i lost the night, and i'm going to lose the day, too.

please, people - eat your shrooms. i don't care what you do with your body (like, at all. go kill yourself. have fun.), but the rest of the neighbourhood doesn't need to inhale your filth.
