His poem did more to tell the world about Canada then the rest of the ceremony. <br /><br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159399136466764725.post-69985774724242599412010-02-15T09:15:45.494-08:002010-02-15T09:15:45.494-08:00TC, I'm going to look up more of his work.

He made us laugh and cry- sometimes both at once. It was such an amazing emotional roller coaster! I got to meet him afterwards, and he was very charming and funny to all who lined up to but his CDs and books. I bought his book Stickboy, and I loved it- read it to my class, and THEY loved it. I hope everyone gets a chance to hear more of his work. AMAZING. I'm such a nerd I found him on facebook and am now one of his 2000+ friends (and rising!). I think it's so amazing that this Canadian poet is now in the world's eye!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207319340618952308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159399136466764725.post-2521674051059917402010-02-14T08:27:27.345-08:002010-02-14T08:27:27.345-08:00Thanks for dropping by, ladies!

We are not merely our Aboriginal/French population! We are the ultimate cultural melting pot.<br /><br />Lucky for me, I live on the brink of the Niagara Falls Canada/US border, and Canada Day is celebrated with equal exuberance to 4th of July. There is a whole Friendship Festival that rocks! For both sides of the border.lainey bancrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198092987859920805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8159399136466764725.post-56853222678272146182010-02-13T15:54:05.876-08:002010-02-13T15:54:05.876-08:00I lived in Ottawa for a year in high school and I ...I lived in Ottawa for a year in high school and I loved it there!Mary Ricksenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676306822821614446noreply@blogger.com
