Offensive. I see similar ads exhorting men to get “perfect” abs, etc by wearing basically girdles. And these are the tamer suggestions for “improvement.” So harmful, especially for young people, whose self-esteem is already fragile. And who says what “perfect” is? #bodytyranny

Took 2 hrs 10 mins to vote at the advance poll. Everyone was patient, polite and good sports. Just good people casting their ballots. A harbinger, I hope, of a solid election turnqout this time. #canada #election #democracy

Canadian word of the day: toque. From the French tuque, dates back to the 16th Century and the voyageurs. A splendidly practical headgear with endless variations. Americans call it a beanie. #canada
