Truth and falsity is something that concerns language, it's a property of language.

Let me get a big 'hell yeah' from the redneck girls like me, hell yeah.

Quebecers have rarely in their history been better represented than they are right now - at the highest levels of the federal government.

I don't live in the present, I Am The Present.

An amazing performance is always a reflection of awesome amounts of practice.
