Pit Bulls aren’t the problem. Humans are.
Judge dogs by their individual behavior—not by a label, stereotype, or breed. ❤️🐾

These words of PM. Chretien are so true and reflect the feelings of millions of Canadians.
“I have a message for American friends. Yes, Canada is a generous, open country and Canadians are tolerant and kind. But never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness."
— Former PM Jean Chrétien, speaking at 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Gander, N.L.

As we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 today, we hold our loved ones a little closer and know that we are always stronger together. Your friends on Sesame Street love you and we will never forget.

Only just found out about this. This guy taught at my Calgary high school. One time, he screamed at me for listening to punk rock. He was particularly incensed by 'Beat on the Brat.'
Keep listening to punk rock, kids. It helps flush out the creeps. share.google/n0ArUnKAr7lXizN…

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

I do rather love it when my fellow Canadians come together, all cranky and proud, and tell that racist, rapey felon to go fuck himself.

The fact that a 22-year-old young man battling cancer, who ran 5,373 kilometres across Canada to bring awareness and hope to others, became one of Canada's most celebrated and beloved figures speaks volumes about who we are as a country. 🏃🇨🇦 #RunTerryRun
"The first time I saw him run, it was overwhelming."
Watch the new trailer for #RunTerryRun. See it in theatres October 9.
