The new Canadian MP who has never actually been to the district she represents and barely speaks French. "In the interview with Trois-Rivieres' Le Nouvelliste, the 27-year-old said that she will quit her job as an assistant bar manager at Ottawa's Carleton University and devote herself to her new post." Glad to hear it!

I’ve got:
2* 1¢; one Belgian, one German.
1* 2¢; Belgian.
2* 5¢; one Belgian, one French.
7*10¢; four French, one Belgian, one German and one Portuguese.
5*20¢; two Belgian, one French, one Spanish; one .
3*50¢; one Belgian, one French, one German.
1* 1€; Spanish.
4* 2€; two French, one German, one Slovak.
I actually collect these; the only country I have none of is Slovenia, oddly. I’m very happy with the Slovak one, it’s in mint condition. The worst is one of the French 10¢.
The bills I have, a ten and a fifty, are sadly both German. One’s signed by Duisenberg and one by Draghi, though. I had a Maltese twenty but spent it earlier today, and got a relatively common German ten back.
