London Bridge is Down?

[riser4]

Kind of sounds like Camilla will be the true power behind the (current) throne.

In Liz's colonial defense, she pretty much came on board after all the bad shit, and oversaw its dismantling - no easy task.

There was some nasty shit during the dismantling too. The cold war made it worse than it has to be. But I don't think the monarchy truly runs the day to day.

[jono]

I have zero love for the monarchy, but this seems like a pretty fair assessment to me.

+1. She was a constitutionalist who happened to be the monarch. People acting like her death is the end of monarchy or even a sovereign ruler is just an ignorant excuse to virtue signal. (--Another non-monarchist.)

ok, fine. The graphical words presented on top of the photo, not the original photo.

that was eminently clear to all but the pedant

Funny, but Ireland doesn’t have enough money to afford a monarchy.

SNL needs to run another variation if this.


Her condition is stable..

the queen made 23 visits to canada, it was the place she visited the most

people are calling that time is ripe to abolish the monarchy up here on the other side of the poutine curtain BUT its not that easy

A journalist type pointed out that it would require negotiating 70+ treaties with provinces territories and the FN

it would be like meech lake on acid so it likely won't happen eh

wonder why that is after centuries of rape and pillage?

That is one bitching hearse. I could see our canoe strapped to the roof and all and extra camping gear stuffed in the back. No problem sleeping in that sucker as well. RIP Lizbet.

Mother took us to a horse track on the edge of Toronto back in 1959 to see her. Wearing our finest and hoping to get some good snacks we watched from a goodly distance as her eminence paraded by.

Good luck to Chuckles following in the footsteps of that old girl.

This is the second reference - apparently I’m not running in the right gossip circles.

you probably forgot George V died of a speedball so the death would make the morning papers too

Did they even have an internet in 1959?

Ya, we are too large and too diverse to go back to square one. It would be easier to dissolve the UK and abolish the monarchy there than Canada to leave the commonwealth. Like it or lump it, we will remain a member for some time to come.

the new conservative leader is rallying every whacko-nut-job in the Con party to win the next election which worked to become leader

it will be interesting to see if he goes to the center or he figures there are enough whacko-nut-jobs to actualy beat Trudeau

[summit]

Well Trudeau is a shitbag, but hopefully his replacement isn't a whacko.
