Greetings from the providence of Ontario!

Today is day 3 of my visit to Canada. I'm having a great time here in London, Ontario. I met with the chapter at the University of Western Ontario yesterday. They are a fun group of guys, but a little misguided on what Beta Theta Pi is all about--doesn't surprise me. Canadians love using the cop out "it's canada, its different here". But I did my best to sift through that rhetoric. My "Its differenty here" shield was up on full force--I think I did a great job at reflecting an excuses. London is a weird city. Its about the size of Springfield, Missouri or Fargo, North Dakota. It is the most divided city I have ever seen in terms of social class. The University of Western Ontario is full of students that are wealthy. It reminds me a lot of the flashy, superficial image that exists at Miami University. Yet, the city is full of homelessness. Its shocking the desparity there is between the two groups.


I'm heading to Toronto tomorrow evening. I can't wait--I love Toronto. Things are going well. I guess thats all I have for now.
