Dear Canadians,

the cockles of this old heart could never have foreseen the impending arrival of such marvellous fortune prior to having witnessed this effusion of such patriotic support and comfort as you have for each other in times of such obvious linguistic and economic hardship...it seems like such a wonderful place; i really must take a tour there someday...now where are my xanax...my goodness is that the time?...

yours therapeutically,

Miss Tick.
