Day 19 Ode to Elvira Kurt

Let's talk about great Canadian Women

Elvira Kurt is a comedian and I'm not going to beat around the bush but she is funny.

Her weekly segment on one of Canada's most listened to radio shows is the best part of my week. Well that's a bit of an exaggeration but it is really good. She's just downright funny and Jian makes a good straight man to her funny one. An outspoken out comedian she just says whatever she wants despite what might happen. Just remember the time she put Germany in the cultural hall of shame? How about babies? These are just a couple of the things she has inducted shamelessly into the cultural hall of shame.

She is the first inductee into my list of Great Canadian Women.

These are my three reasons:

1. She is effing hilarious.
2. She is out and that's awesome. I mean this is Canada and it's not a big deal here but she talks about the gays and her family all the time. I love it. I love it. American media really needs to take notes here because it's so natural that no one bats an eye. In the states man there would be backlash and it would be just stupidly handled. But then again we are Canadian and we are superior. ... lol maybe
3. She is not going to the states to 'make it big' She's here in Canada being a Canadian and I really respect that. There are so many Canadians who move to the states and have a career and get famous there. I don't need to list them you all know who they are and I don't have as much respect at all for them as I do for people like Elvira Kurt who are Canadians who work in Canada.

A taste of her hilarity

I mean I'd probably go into the cultural hall of shame for writing this.
