As Canadians, we are used to watching eligible Americans apply for every known contest or reality TV show under the sun and we gladly sit by the sidelines cheering them on. Canadians are the wallflowers of North America relegated to a lifetime of admiring our more athletic, talented, able and graceful Uncle Sam, all the while moaning the loss of Canadian Idol (was it Ben Mulroney that tanked the show?).
This will make many of my Canadian friends upset. We really don’t like to think we’re second to anyone, least of all the U.S. of A. My Canadian friends will leave comments about how Canada is way better, we have health care, blah, blah, Margaret Atwood, Yann Martel, yadda, yoo.
I’m not saying we’re not great. I know, as much as all Canadians know, we rock.
The thing is: it’s hard to compete with being ineligible for every interesting things because their weatherman thinks the rain stops at the topmost border of North Dakota. What is beyond that? We’ll never know….
Then, out of the blue comes Harper Collins Canada to reinforce my faith in my personal Canadian reality. And yes, out of the blue comes The Truth About Delilah Blue a book by Tish Kohen that they would like my thoughts on. My thoughts! So, I read the book…and think. Then the cool part is: I write about what those thoughts are.
Wait, here’s the really coolest part: an interview with Tish Kohen will be appearing on this blog sometime in the third week of July!
This blog!
Can’t wait. My first real interview/guest post. With a real author. With a real, Canadian author.
O Canada!
