Rows and rows of happy people cheering in the streets to see just one person, how often does that happen?
Count me in, I'll always be a royalist.

Count me in too ... and millions of other Canadians ... Recently, the Canadian Federal Government passed a law renaming the three arms of our armed forces ... in effect going back to what they used to be called: The Canadian Army, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and the Royal Canadian Navy ... I can understand folks not liking individual Royals ... but, a good hard look at governments all over the world shews, to me anyway, that constitutional monarchy is a stable, democratic, and effective form of government. The UK, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan etc. ... oh, and Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It works ... it ain't broke; so, there is no need to fix it. And Elizabeth ll has done a damn fine job. All over the world she is respected. She is not just a Queen ... she is The Queen.
