Women are confusing? SAY IT AIN’T SO!
It has been said that women are confusing creatures. Personally, I have no idea why anyone would say such a thing—I mean, when have women ever been known for anything but being crystal clear and speaking what’s really on their minds?
So, in order to bust this myth, I decided to observe the only woman in my life who wouldn’t kill me if I quoted her on the The Internets. Below are some of the following requests made by my lovely mother in the last 24 hours:
“Get me that thing in my purse.”
“Bring me that paper from my desk.”
“Can you get me my book for me?”
“Did you do that thing I told you to do?”
(She doesn’t like wasting adjectives, you see.)

“When I’m in Canada, I feel like this is what the world should be like.”- Jane Fonda
“Canada is one of the planet’s most comfortable, and caring, societies. The United Nations Human Development Index cited the country as the most desirable place in the world to live. This year a World Bank study named Canada the globe’s second wealthiest society after Australia.”
- Time Magazine
It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw, not because she is Canada but because she’s something sublime that you were born into, some great rugged power that you are a part of.
- Emily Carr
In only a century and a quarter since Confederation, Canadians have shaped out of the North American wilderness one of the most privileged societies on the face of the earth. Ranking among the seven most prosperous nations in the world, Canada is rich not only in the abundance of our resources and the magnificence of our land, but also in the diversity and the character of our people. We have long been known as one of the most tolerant, progressive, innovative, caring and peaceful societies in existence.

Happy birthday, Canada.
