Dave_ON Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 It's not particularly controversial more just informational. As a fan of the Monarchy I look forward to the visit. I would definitely go out for the event if she visits near here. The itinerary is yet to be announced. Would you go out for the Queens Visit? http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/07/12/queen-visit.html Also how do you land a cushy gig like "Secretary to the Queen" like Kevin MacLeod?

Smallc Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Anyway, I'm quite excited that HRH is visiting. It's always nice to have our head of state in the country to check up on things (well, she does that quite often from afar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Way back when when I was at university, Queen Elizabth and Prince Phillip did a walkabout there. I skipped a class to go see. I don't know if I will this time though, but I'm very happy she's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bambino Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 The itinerary is yet to be announced. If only the PMO would smarten up and have HM here to open the Winter Olympics. If she's not here next year for that event, I imagine it might be the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Royal Canadian Navy that the Queen will mark. Maybe the 83 year old woman just didn't want to be in Vancouver in the dead of winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadBrother Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 To go see the motley family of Gotha Saxburg? No thank you. Um, first of all I think you're referring to Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. And I'm reasonably confident that they wouldn't cross the street to save you from drowning. I know I wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bambino Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 To go see the motley family of Gotha Saxburg? No thank you. Yes, I suppose their multi-ethnic background is a little too motley for your puritain tastes. You must see a real value to close inbreeding.

Moonlight Graham Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I have no use for the monarchy. I'd prefer something more, well, democratic as our head of state than who your daddy was. So this visit will be a yawn for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallc Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 We have a democracy in government. There's no reason to politicize the head of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
