The Spirit of Canada

Saw something the other day that I think captured the spirit of Canada. I wish I could have taken a picture but I think it would have been inappropriate. We were at the Toronto Zoo and they had a really nice splash pad. Sitting there while my kids played I noticed a couple also sitting there and the woman was covered except her face as is traditional in some religions. I then looked where they were looking and saw what I assume was their daughter dressed the same way but fully enjoying the splash pad. Fully covered but soaked and enjoying it the same as the kids in bathing suits etc. Very cool.

A Complete Idiot

     I often feel bad and sometimes defend politicians and other famous people when an off the cuff comment they make turns into a media firestorm. I think it has to be difficult having every word you say scrutinized and people just waiting for you to say the wrong thing so they can use it to attack you. However there is a point where what you said wasn't a mistake and you're just a complete idiot. Todd Akin is a great example of that.
