You may have read, or voted on, the poll question Tuesday. The question was, “Would you consider yourself to be a Canadian Nationalist?”

Last week I wrote about a current MTV show The Buried Life. The show follows a group of guys who have set out to cross off all 100 items on their list of things to do before they die.
After seeing the show I decided to dig out my old list and see if I had accomplished anything, or if I had anything to add. I was in fact able to cross something off, which feels pretty darn cool, and I have many more things that I want to achieve.

Want to be an instant Internet sensation?
Misbehave in public nowadays and you’ll probably find it posted to Facebook or YouTube before you’ve even had time to sober up and reflect on your actions.
