Geeky and stylish. Loves art, design, photography and other good sh*t. There's more to me than 160 chars. Often sarcastic with sporadic bouts of hilarity.

@livelarq Thank you!

@livelarq ordered 2 personalized bottles. Delivered to wrong address 5 days ago and can’t get anyone to respond. Passport referred me back to you. Crickets. $300 gone. No bottles. And it took a month for them to be delivered. Can anyone make this right? #customersupport #Cx

Nunavut NDP MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq, who is an Inuk woman from Baker Lake.
Edmonton Eskimos SHOULD change their team name.

MP Qaqqak is awesome voice that needs to be listened to by all Canadians.
