I want to comment to Ivan Sandoval of the citizens for a canadian republic here because I know I won't be able to on their site: Why wear a Scottish tartan as you bash our countries British cultural tradition that was brought here by that very culture? Couldn't you have worn something else? And your comment about the term royal highness you find abhorrent because they should not be better than us I think you said? It is simply an ancient term. Yes royals once did rule but now only reign. The Queen on her coronation humbly swore to serve US until her dying day. It is simply an institution that is there that protects the public against politicians who think may think they should be dictators. A constitutional monarchy is the best bet against that. The queen has been there longer than the politicians and is loyal to us and us alone. Some elected Head of State would not be so I am sure. Also everyone please note that the National had zero coverage of the day's highlights of the Royal visit in BC. And a big thank you to the brave young Monarchist who went on the National tonight, you were great. I would love to see you in a career in politics one day- it would be a vast improvement to what we usually have in Ottawa.
