IN THE NEWS

What a great day for my work today! This morning the Prime Minister was here to announce our museum's new status as Canada's National Immigration Museum--we're only the second museum outside Ottawa to be given national status, so obviously it's been quite a big coup for us all who work here. And the PM gave quite a good speech despite being a waxy, shellac-haired, kitten eating robot! Please check it out here if you're interested in watching the speech. (Yes, we clapped a LOT.)

Darryl Dexter, the new (first ever NDP) premier of Nova Scotia was here as well, though he unfortunately didn't make a speech--coming from strong socialist roots, I was really more interested to see him than the Tory PM. AND the Lieutenant Governor was here (I like her), and all in all it was just really excitiing! And I'm so proud of my museum. Even if I've only worked here for a month, I've really gotten to appreciate the important stories we're telling.

SO YAY!

ETA: Ooh, and I think I just saw myself on the news for about 1 second! HUZZUH, I'M FAMOUS. ;D

Very big and important! I need to practice my booming important voice again.

*clears throat*

BOW, MORTALS!

CANADAAAAAAAAAA! You could get an "eh?" one now that you have it mastered. ;)

I APPROVE! (J'APPRÉCIE!)

(And wow, what is "bow" in French? Um... *looks up* ...Un salut! Excellent, new word of the day.)
