It's never felt more Canadian to be Canadian than it does now.

It'd be preposterous for me to propose a universal cure to loneliness but I will say that people who do the things they find interesting, either creatively or vocationally, tend to become unlonely very quickly.

Telling people they look relaxed makes them look relaxed.

Only losers make decisions when things are bad. The time to rejig your life is the time when it's seemingly smooth.
