So It's Canada Day, Eh?

Just wanted to wish y'all a Happy Canada Day (eh!)
Go Beavers (and Biebers :P)!

Turtle Day!

Tommorrow is International Turtle Day. It was created to help raise awareness of turtles. These poor little guys are rapidly decreasing in numbers, becoming threatened, endangered and even going extincint because of us. The two main reason turtles are being murdered is because of loss of habitat, as well as being roadkill. So please do us all a favor and keep your eyes on the road for little furries -or shellies- because it is so unfortunate when someone dies of vehical manslaughter but thousands of animals die from car everyday. Some of these are endangered, and alot are even people's lost pets. So do the turtles a favor and watch out for them and their friends.

 I bet if it was the other way around, turtles wouldn't run us over.

Happy Mothers Day!

Thank you, to my mom, and to others. Thank you for so many wonderful things that you do, but most of all, Thank you for loving us.

And those babies are thinking the same thing too.

Pink Shirt Day- April 13

April 13th (a Friday) is Pink shirt day. If you don't know what that is, here's an exerpt of the letter from the Director of Education and Chair of the TDSB:

April 13 has been designated as Pink Day.  This day is based on the actions in 2007 of two Nova Scotia Grade 12 students who marshalled their friends to wear pink in support of a younger student who had been bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school.  The e-mail campaign mounted by the older students resulted in not just 50 of their friends but in hundreds of students turning up the next day wearing pink in support of the bullied student.
The Pink Day that started in a Nova Scotia high school has now spread across Canada. TDSB schools have participated in Pink Day celebrations for several years, but this is the second year we are supporting anti-bullying through a Board-wide call to action.  We urge every school and every staff member and student to join the anti-bullying campaign by wearing pink on Wednesday, April 13.  Show your support against bullying and for tolerance.

I think it's a great idea, pink being such a taboo colour and all. I mean, we've all heard those completely nasty and rude comments about being gay or lesbian just because you don't wear the colours your gender are suppose to wear. It also makes different sexual orientations sound bad and wrong, when they're totally not. This helps create a world where people aren't haressed for stupid stuff like this. It won't fix the worrld's problems, but it's a start.
