8. Favourite Prime Minister of Canada?Honestly, I like Harper. Harper is amazing that he led Canada through a worldwide economic crisis with barely any bumps in the road. I do recognize past PM's helped built a solid foundation, but Harper IMO, did not panic and create even more instability. Give him credit for that. Canada is the envy of the world!! Unpopular choice here I am sure, but that is OK, I like you anyway

[Andit]

1.Favourite sport to watch on tv?
Not really a sports fan, but will watch hockey and show jumping (I would love to watch dressage, but it never seems to be aired ).

I'm fluent in Hungarian, was fluent in French (I'm really rusty these days), know enough Spanish and Italian to get help if I'm lost, and can still read a bit of Latin, although I'm really really out of practise.

But do things better than others?
I can toss off rhymes one after another
And put them in limerick form too!

4. What did you want to do right when you graduated high school?
I went into university with the vision of becoming a vet. When I didn't get into vet college, I hoped to go into forensics, but would have had to get my Masters degree & had had enough of school at that point (not to mention the lack of funds to continue school).

5. If the world were to end next year ( its not ending on friday) how would you want to go out?
Hanging out with friends and family on the condo's rooftop patio. If during the day, having a picnic watching the sailboats on the lake, if at night, drinking Kahlua over ice watching the skyscrapers light up the night.

No smartphone, so no apps. I still miss my ancient computer with Windows 3.1 (it never crashed).

and lastly
8. Favourite Prime Minister of Canada?

I've met both Trudeau and Pearson but I'll say Kim Campbell because she was shortest. The difference between US and Canadian politics is in the US it's so bi-partisan: you're either Democrat or Republican with no middle ground. In Canada we often elect the people we'd most like to throw out of office in the next election.
