Haggard

Ari from Toronto

"Much like the meaning of the word itself, Canadians as a whole are the most haggard in the world. We don't care too much about our appearance, no need to dress in suits, brush hair methodically, throw away our favourite pair of jeans or keep a clean shaven face. We let our hair grow, because that's what freedom is. Because of this, everytime we hold up our beers, we must salute our 'mode de vie', and say Haggard to remember exactly what makes us Canadian."

Thanks!
