Oh Canada!

It's official. I am a Canadian.

Some of you may not know that I'm a duel citizen cause my pops was born in Canada. So today I received my Canadian liscence and now I can drive legally! I am also set up on the BC Healthcare (which is not totally free like the movie Sicko leads you to believe.) I currently pay $54 a month and after 12 months of being a resident I can apply for premium assistance (since I'm poor) and get part of the cost subsidized. Cool huh? The health plan covers a wide range of things...except dental. You can get a percentage of the cost of a massage reimbursed, but you can't get your teeth cleaned...unless you have extended coverage through your job or something.

I also have a library card and a L.I.F.E pass to the Sooke recreation center. Again, because I am poor I can use the facilities for free! I can go swim, ice skate, lift weights (cough), and even join the jazzercise and water aerobics classes for free! Ain't gonna be no obesity issues here.

According to my grandma, I even sound Canadian. Apparently, I raise the ends of my sentences nOW. But I haven't reached the point yet of saying "Eh" (is that how you even spell it?) And I've noticed that the younger generation here says "hey" instead of "eh" - "That was a pretty cool concert, hEY?"

I will never stop using the word "y'all" though. I mean, it makes perfect sense! There is no 2nd person plural in the English language. Genius.

Alright yall. I'm aboot to go oot so I'll talk to yall later, hEY?
