I am talking to a woman who is conducting a political survey. I have explained how to spell:
- fiscally
- frivolous
- alientates

...but the laundry-list of questions that she asked about Harper and Dion shows me that, overall, Canadians ask good questions about their leaders.

It's finally here!  The moment you've all been waiting for, and what we've been planning for weeks and weeks!  It's finally Queer Awareness Week, and there are plenty of AWESOME and mostly FREE things to attend.  Everything promises to be engaging, enlightening, and entertaining, so I hope to see you at every single event!
