Attention international convention organizers: Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" is not the appropriate music for introducing a bunch of filthy rich old geezers, 92% of them white.
This image by Jessica Borutski pretty much sums up my Canadian feelings.
@Nezchan if they adopt that as the official coat of arms, I'm emigrating immediately.
@pzmyers The Ghost Of Tom Joad on infinite repeat is the appropriate soundtrack until the current regime is consigned to the asheap of history.
