Still pretty English, the old chap.
FOLKS:
The last English *king* was William III (d 1702)
The last English monarch was Queen Anne
Why? The Acts of Union in 1707 combined the kingdoms of England and Scotland into GREAT BRITAIN
The CBC (left), NYT (right) etc. keep using “King of England.”
Stop it.

Nice to see this, as I'm pretty sure that urban myth was first exposed in my 1997 history of the Law Society, p131. Such is fame.

Canada is one of the eight countries that today expressed its solidarity with the people of Greenland and Denmark in the face of threats to their territorial integrity from Trump and his newly appointed Reichsstatthalter for Greenland, Jeff Landry.

Where's Mark Carney on this? If Canada can't stand up for Greenland, why would anyone stand with Canada?
Have become quite critical of Macron lately. But for the EU's sole nuclear power this is an important response.

Today there is a quiet smile on the face of everyone who stopped going in November 2016
They just don't want anyone traveling to the US for any reason at all
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Stan Rogers
Guysborough County, located along the coast of Nova Scotia is a fascinating place. Home to the Mi’kmaq people for centuries, then to Black Loyalists who fled the United States during the Revolution…
