Canadians can easily 'pass for American' as long as we don't accidentally use metric measurements or apologize when hit by a car.

Long lives aren't natural. We forget that senior citizens are as much an invention as toasters or penicillin.

Canadian winters are long. Life is hard and so is ice.

The Sugar Frosted Nutsack is fantastic. It's volcanic and sexy and utterly unlike anything I've read before. It feels like the future in a dazzling way that has nothing to do with looking backward. It's been a long wait for a new novel from Mark Leyner, but worth it. Ten out of ten from me.

Men won't read any email from a woman that's over 200 words long.

When the world throws you too much information, the only way you can stay sane or survive is to look for pattern recognition. Amidst all the blurs, is there a constellation that emerges, is there a straight line that's emerging.

Nothing very very good and nothing very very bad lasts for very very long.
