Is the extended civics lesson on Canada on NBC really necessary?

The lesson did not mention universal health care or that gays can marry and we haven't all turned gay.

It did seem rather like an elementary school lesson on "Our Neighbor to the North."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm guessing if she had been wildly unstable, it wouldn't have gotten to that meeting, but I don't know how academia works -- if you're on the tenure track, do you automatically stay there?

It was, I mean was it necessary to say that we have 10 provinces?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

In the "does it matter?" sense, or in the "wouldn't Americans already know that?" sense? Because the answers are very different.

From what I've seen, most people who are hired in a tenure-track job will stay in that job until tenure review, unless they do something really horrible.

In news of people are stupid, I barely stopped a woman from backing her car over a blind man tonight on the way home from work. Jesus.

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Oh, that's good. I needed that.

Seriously, though, my mom told someone she was Canadian and got complimented on her english. The existence of provinces at all would be a stretch, let alone what they are or the numbers.
