But there doesn't need to be a change over. We don't have to do things just because the Brits do it. Officially the monarchy in Canada is the Canadian Monarchy, not the British Monarchy. We can keep St. Edward's crown or make up our own if we wish. Technically, we could ask any monarch in...

Strange. Anyway, listened to a new album I got today, deluxe double album re-release of the Tea Party's first album (titled, "The Tea Party". The original release (in 1991) was only a few thousand copies and had some songs that were also on the second album, "Splendor Solas". Great Canadian...

If you want to live in an American style republic...just move to the US. Duh!

If there is a coronation medal issued in Canada (who knows at this point), it would be AFTER the actual coronation. I think that coronation medals were only for those who participated in some way, so if Canada doesn't send any kind of honour guard or something like that, there might not be a...

Exactly. The Crown of Canada is separate from the Crown of the UK and can have its own version of the crown.

Just for the savings alone (also the fact that St. Edward's crown is better looking), Canada should keep the current crown. Changing the royal cypher over to Charlie's will mainly affect (some) medals, but changing the crown as well would mean having to redo the vast majority of unit...

ABC and WK are fantastic songs for sure. But then we're talking about the Tragically Hip (and IMO practically all their songs are fantastic). Not sure why you quoted my opinion of the new Ozzie album. :confused:

Yes, it's me again. Listening to the new Ozzy album, "Patient Number 9". It's quite good (IMO), better than the previous one (Ordinary Man), though that was good as well.

Just got home and read the news. Shocked and saddened. Her Majesty was the only monarch I (and I'm sure most people on here and across Canada) have ever know. May she rest in peace. God save the King!

Reminds me of an album cover.;)

Maybe the CAF should have clothing corporations bid on the contract and the winner gets to produce it with their name and logo on it. Lulu Lemon Operational Clothing line, anyone? ;) On second thought, maybe not.:p

Not trying to take over this thread, but I thought it worth mentioning that I picked up a new Rolling Stones release of old material. The reason I mention it is that it's "El Mocambo 1977", the Stones gig that April Wine opened for and resulted in the "Live at the El Mocambo" recording I...

Now I'm listening to April Wine - Live at the El Mocambo. Great live album, but APRIL WINE LIVE is even better (IMO).

Albums ; Tragically Hip - Live at the Roxy, The Tea Party - Blood Moon Rising, Halestorm - Back from the Dead

When I look at that hull design I can't help but think, "RAMMING SPEED!!" (that's assuming we are looking at the front end)

All the uncles on my mother's side (from Red Deer) served in the war (all made it back). Uncle by marriage (to my mother's youngest sister) was in the RCN and served in the North Atlantic (as well as later in the Mediterranean). Actually had a distant cousin (also from RD) who was in the...

People are tired of the Libs, but the Tories could still fuck things up and lose the next election. Nothing is guaranteed.

Gee, not much of a surprise. The usual way things tend to go, is that the voting public tend to get tired of a gov't that's been in power for a couple of terms and votes in the other party next election. Rinse and repeat.

I was going to mention Canadian whiskey, but the major Canadian brands are all foreign owned now. So everything Canadian seems to be foreign owned. For example, Hudson's Bay Company used to be an iconic and historic Canadian retailer, but has long been American owned. Don't really see why...

What???!! Come on! What about House Trudeau and House Mulroney? ;)
