Richard Bott of looking back…looking forward has a post up on something we’ve lost lately.

these past few weeks, I’ve been absolutely appalled at the disgusting language and behaviour of our Federal Parliamentarians… sitting on both sides of the house.

On that note there were Canadians today that lived out another piece of history.
With decorum. Civility. Respect.

Her Majesty Queeen Elizabeth II looked tiny today.
She was at a memorial for four slain Mounties. I don’t think she’ll be on our soil again. And let’s be honest, Prince Charles and Camilla can’t quite carry it off.

Quiet blue in a sea of red serge. Gracious. Practised. Steady.
The minister’s closing prayer pricked me.
…help us to maintain the right.
maintiens le droit.
