Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Test Entry - Leaving Tomorrow

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan

Tonight I will sleep in my own bed for the last time. The first leg of the journey begins tomorrow with a drive from Saskatoon to Calgary at an ungodly hour of the morning at the request of our chaufeur (thanks Adam!). Unfortunately I did not win the poker game last night to finance the trip, so I'll have to start dipping into the trip fund. After some watersliding fun the real journey will begin as we hop on the 30+ hour plane ride to Singapore. Now to begin packing.... [View Full Entry]

I think I should invest in GPS or one of those microchip systems they use on puppies...

Now they want me to prove I've had asthma all my life... [View Full Entry]

SO… what AM I waiting for? What was I waiting for? It just hit me this year, somewhere after July when I visited my friend Anne who had just come back from Italy and Europe… WHAT am I waiting for? I only get one life, I want it to be happy, and I want it to have been a full one! Instead of living in fear of the unknown, I can step out, trust that God has a plan, and see the beautiful world I live in! Well, I did it. I applied for a missions trip in Italy, and got [View Full Entry]
