Really? I was in immersion and we had to suffer through this in Gr 1 and 2. I think it's responsible for my childhood fear of skeletons.

Uh, no, many of us prefer to be called by the nation we belong to. Some of the younger ones would be really offended at being called Indian, especially by white people. Indigenous, First Nations, and native are fine - better than Indian at least.

And every drugstore, grocery store, Starbucks, Walmart, etc...

I think they're also being selective about what time of day they're reporting. Their source claims that my local hospital has an average wait of 3 hours, and it does, briefly, at 8 am just after the shift change. The rest of the day is anywhere between 5-12 hours (or more), but I guess we don't talk about that.

Fright Night (the 1985 one). I was 6. The idiot daughter of the woman babysitting me thought I was asleep on the couch, so she put it on.

I was not asleep.
