 Today's Canada Day.

My first response is to say "Canada sucks!" But that wouldn't be fair, and kind of a lie.

My second response really just goes to yet more girls I was with, briefly, who were from America's hat. One was actually kinda self-absorbed. All she wanted to talk about was how the US's government was so corrupt, that Americans were ( Read more... )

I think so. But I think the Queen's just an overseas figurehead. Pretty sure they have a Prime Minister instead. In which case, I have no idea. I could guess as kind as any Canadian I've ever met.

We have Queen Elizabeth II right now, who's actually the Queen of England. But we're kind of a Dominion of Britain. I don't know much but she seems pretty nice when I've seen her on TV.

Also, she's female, which is apparently not the case for queens where that guy comes from.

Remember to speak in small words when conversing with lunatics, Webster, or they'll have difficulty understanding you.
