Just because a province holds a vote on something, doesn't make it legally binding, especially if it's not on something within their provincial powers. Provincial gov'ts need to do their jobs that they are constitutionally responsible for and stop trying to get more powers from the Federal...

Judas Priest - "Firepower", from 2018. Sounds good so far.

Provinces don't have the right to declare themselves sovereign. Has to be negotiated with the Federal gov't and then put to a national vote to change the constitution.

But they didn't come to Red Deer. :cry: Not that I blame them. That concert I mentioned was cut short due to some dumb fuck releasing pepper spray (or some other irritant) which caused the club to be evacuated. The band was gracious enough to reschedule the gig a few months later. Not...

Yes, I understand all that, you just took what I wrote the wrong way. My point was that as a sovereign nation we can change who is the official head of state without getting rid of the constitutional monarch system - choosing a different monarch if we so wish. Yes, it would have to be done...

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)
