Get on with the program, man lol~ | What she is not?
Dude I was joking.

There's a townhouse complex at 49th and Cambie on the southeast corner... old complex with the gates by the golf course... if you drive in there there's one unit that the windows are just covered in all the same flags as the queen lady above and a bunch of anti-Canadian government messaging.
I always wondered if it was just a supporter or her actual stronghold.

So after charles its william and then i read somewhere its prince george (the little dude) instead of harry.. how does that work? i thought after william it would be his brother. Why would it be William's son? and how come liz's husband wasnt the king when he married her? doesnt he get the title?
confusing  | |

Uh, The royalty succession always passes down through the eldest son (or daughter if no sons, hence why we had a queen since her father King George VI had no sons)... Harry never had a realistic chance unless William died before he had any children.
Philip was not king because he's not royal blood, he just married the queen.

Love how all the "minor royals" have trendy modern names but the ones up for succession are all "regally" named: William, George, Charlotte, Harold (Harry). If for some reason all the 1st tier royals get wiped out in some tragic accident we might end up with a Queen Savannah or King Lucas  | |

Yess!! We get a new national holiday in honour of the Queen.
Turd just made the announcement: https://globalnews.ca/news/9122726/c...ueens-funeral/
The national holiday will coincide with the queen’s funeral in London, U.K.
“Declaring an opportunity for Canadians to mourn on Monday is important,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, adding conversations are underway with provinces and federal workers.
Another long weekend is coming up.

I work for the feds so it's an automatic day off for me on September 19th.
If Turd mentioned that discussions under way with provincial governments and federal workers, then it is possible that people who have jobs that are under provincial regulation would get September 19th as a day off from work too.
For example, teachers and nurses.
Seriously though, how many here on RS who will get September 19th as a day off from work will use part of that day to pay their respects to the Queen by watching her televised funeral?

Based on the wording from different news outlets, I am not convinced that Sept 19 is gonna be a national-wide public holiday.
In 2 news outlets that I've read, it was only described as a "federal holiday and national day of mourning". That tells me this Queen Elizabeth Memorial Day is gonna be just like the The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Sept 30) where it will only be observed by federal employees, but not the public in general.

I'll be at work but will have a CBC or BBC tab open.
I'm not sure if the flags are half-mast in Texas out of respect for the queen or if there has been another mass murder. Either way, they're lowered.

I'd be pretty surprised if this is made a proper provincial stat holiday.
It wouldn't exactly be a good look, considering they couldn't do so with the T&R day.
And I don't think employers fear the same bad optics if they don't give it to their employees.
