    So England is kind of like a rudderless ship right now… Would make a great opportunity for a former colony to invade and put a true democracy in place…

    I sincerely hope you wrote that in jest otherwise
    it would appear you don’t understand the first thing about parliamentary governance.

      It was completely in jest, and I don’t support 100% democracy.

        I’m real sad. I had much respect for Queen Elizabeth II.
        I’ll be watching the news this week, the funeral too.

        I’m not fond of Charles.

        Flags are half mast in many small towns in Central Alberta. Schools, stores, private homes, everywhere. On pump jacks, pad sites, petrochemical plants, all that.. I wonder if RCMP are wearing black arm bands?

        Kinda odd, but the upside down freedom flag crowd seem to have taken down their flags for now. None today from where I’m at.

        I’m hoping Canada will get a new National Holiday. QEII was special imo.

          I just heard the funniest exchange ever. I mean I know it was part of the job, but just the same, Her Majesty was very witty.

          "I've always kept a diary. Well not a diary exactly—certainly not like Queen Victoria's—but every day I do write, and—"
          "But it is in your own hand? Because I think that's terribly important."
          "Well there's no other way I know how to write, John, of course it was in my own hand!"

          Just excellent.

          Please love yourself.

              I think the RCMP black armbands will appear once official mourning begins this evening.

                      As he's named 'Charles Philip Arthur George', I'm a little disappointed that he didn't go with the name 'Arthur'. There'd be a big debate whether he should be Arthur I, or Arthur II.

                      I reckon HerM had some illness other than old age & infirmity, probably diagnosed last year when she went to hospital for a couple of days. Didn't seem to be a cancer death so I'm guessing organ failure at her age. It'll come out eventually, along with Philip's philanderings, her initial rejection of Camilla as unacceptible which led to the whole Diana thing, and other bits of muck swept under the red carpet, if any of it is true. Public love that stuff.

                      For me, She was an amazing person over the decades, tolerant and phlegmatic, serene in an ever more volatile world. Never even met her yet was tearing up like my own mother had died when Huw Edwards annouced it.

                          My feelings about her death have not changed in the past three days, either.

                            From Parade: Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral Date, Location, and Burial Information
                            Get all the details on Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.

                            "Because Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral in Scotland, she will lie in state at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh before her funeral service at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. On Sept. 13, her coffin will be flown back to London, where a state funeral will be held at Westminster Abbey prior to her committal at St. George's Chapel in Windsor."

                                      According to my late father, his parents, born born and raised in England, would refer to the sudden passing of elderly people that “they died from shortness of breath”.

                                      Seems that Elizabeth II did just that.
