Betty and Phil are Getting All Wet! Pity.
Seems the weather isn't cooperating for Betty and Phil's visit with the little people. Bloody hell!
I come from a long line of rabid anti-monarchists. That's no easy feat, given that I was raised in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, where her Majesty's loyal sheep follow her every move with baaaaited breath. Any two provinces who drink more tea per capita than milk, water and beer combined, and can actually understand what those daft buggers are saying on "Coronation Street" can be labelled as nothing but Monarchists. Baaa Baaa.
I have never understood the allure of the House of Windsor. Queen Elizabeth is a dry, humourless, distant old lady....and she likes CORGIS!! What's that about? She married Philip (she must have been faced with an unplanned pregnancy or something, 'cause why the hell else would she marry that cadavar?) and had the four most un-royal offspring on the planet. Charlie the Chump, Anne (saying anything about Anne is unkind.....where to begin, where to end?) Randy Andy the Pudgy Playboy Wannabe, and Ed, who we ALL know is as gay as Elton John, but not nearly as brave.
And the various spouses, ex-spouses, trophy partners (in Edward's case....Sophie is doing both queens a huge favour) .... are we supposed to be loyal subjects to a monarchy that included Di the Ditz and Weight Watchers Fergie? The House of Windsor would fit in better with the Trailer Park Boys than it does in London.
It may not seem like it, but Canada is a grown-up country, and it's time to cut the apron strings. Let Betts and Phil stick their fingers in some other country's business....
