Hi everybody this is God Sad happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends in Canada. We celebrate

0:07.5

Thanksgiving the second Monday of October so it's not Thanksgiving for us but there's never a reason that one

0:17.0

shouldn't wake up every day thankful for the good things in their lives. So again, happy Thanksgiving. I wanted to weigh in very quickly on an issue that might seem as though it's personal, but it isn it's I only use the exemplar because it it

0:34.6

speaks to broader important issues and that is many many people tag me because
