• Canada, Eh?^[context?]
• Nerds Are Sexy: Could be^{[please verify]} the Canadian counterpart to Felicia Day.
• Old Shame: She hated Road to Avonlea, and later called it "horrible" in an interview.
• Soapbox Sadie: She was heavily involved in activism for Canada's New Democratic Party during her teen years, even getting two teeth knocked out by riot police at one point. Her activism was part of the reason why she wound up leaving Road to Avonlea -- the relationship between her and Disney (who aired the show in America on the Disney Channel) soured after she refused to take off a peace sign that she wore to an award ceremony, much to Disney's chagrin. While her political views are unchanged, she's focused more on her acting career since then.
