The Queen Of Canada, Celebrated.

I found the outpouring of respect for our Queen very enjoyable to watch. I wish I was close enough to have lined up to see her. As a matter of fact, I wish my boys could have gone to Ottawa to see, not only her, but our Parliament buildings.

The media couldn't hide her visit, and they also couldn't hide our PM's obvious respect and admiration for the Queen. If Obama had any smarts, he would have made sure to greet her. Oh well, we know he is an empty box, kids love to play in them, but the real goods have already been taken out, and only the shell remains.

I honestly don't know how I will feel if Prince Charles becomes King. He was too weak to prevent his disastrous marriage to Princess Diane, and as a potential King, should never have been fooling around with Camilla, a married woman. He is also bonkers about climate change. The Queen might be smart to skip that whole generation and go for Prince William as the next heir to the throne. Young as he is, he seems really grounded, and he might be able to stop the commonwealth countries from rejecting the monarchy. With Charles as King, I would vote for Canada to break ties with the monarchy. Seriously, the guy is nice, but not King material.

Whatever happens, we are much better for having had the Queen visit us.

Compare and Contrast: Canada Day and G20 Summit.

What an interesting contrast we have between the protesters at the G20 and the crowds for Canada Day.

The G20 protests cost us a billion dollars to keep the leaders safe. Thankfully no bombs were planted or world leaders were hurt on our soil. What we have are the hurt feelings of protesters who couldn't get a veggie meal in the holding pens. What spoiled little brats with nothing better to do than go and protest....what? We needed huge fences to keep the leaders safe from rioters who burned police cars and smashed windows. Unions used their members dues to protest....what? What were our unions protesting?

Now they are protesting the treatment the protesters received from the police. What wimps, they weren't pepper sprayed, no water cannons, no clubbing like they would have faced in Iran. I have no sympathy for any protesters who were detained for the evening. For those innocent people who were caught up in the round-up, sorry. The protesters created a police state in Toronto because of the bombing of the bank before the G20, they are to blame for all the costs, and we should start making them pay damages.



Then in contrast, we have the Queen visiting Canada and she came to Parliament Hill in a horse drawn carriage, no fences, no protesters (cause they would have been creamed by our vets) very little security. A peaceful day, honouring Canada and our Queen.

I loved watching the Queen and all the people who came together to see her and celebrate Canada Day.
