When was the last time you had a good laugh? I’m not talking about just a chuckle? I mean a ROTFL laugh. Do I need to spell that out for you? Roll On The Floor Laughing laugh. What do I mean by that? Laughing until your belly hurts. Laughing so hard you cry....

This past week was a tough one for Canadians. Why? We lost something we held dear. Something we were proud of and hated to give up. Our innocence. We’re no longer a country known for its peace. That peace was turned upside down and we felt like were punched in the...
