And we're spent!

We hope you've enjoyed the trial run of Overheard at Laurier -- however if you'd like it to continue, we need more people visiting the site and more contributions! In the past month, the number of visitors to the site has exploded and we need people to keep on plugging it in their blogs, LJ, MySpace, Facebook and MSN. Keep your ears open and keep coming back! We'll be on break until class starts up again and people start talking about submitting more entries.

Happy holidays!

In Canada, everyone can ride the short bus

Guy: I don’t see why this Quebecois as a nation thing is such a big deal. If they want to be special, fine, call them special.

Girl: I think it’s because it also opens the doors for Native Canadians to also want special status.

Guy: So? Pass a bill saying they’re special too. It’s Canada! Everyone can be special!
