Oh Canada

While Kortney loves living in Nashville, there are certain things she misses about her home and native land. “I miss poutine,” she says. “I miss the people. I miss Tim Horton’s. I miss the energy that Canadians bring. They’re so polite. Like they’re genuinely caring and they’re very transparent. I feel like Canadians are not afraid to tell you what they think.”
