A very nice summary. My partner and I watched from Amsterdam. As you say, Canada is not perfect but striving to be better. I really appreciate you finding the positives in the speech. Let’s give this new government a chance.
Your summary has me moist-eyed; I’m going to have to listen to the whole thing now.
And thank you for saying clearly what I’ve been clumsily trying to say on 🦋all day: Monarchy works because it’s a personification of the country beyond government. First Nations have understood this. Governments change, but the crown endures forever.
Thank you for reporting the King's words and capturing the mood and the moment. As King Charles said about himself, Canada seeps more deeply into my already born and bred bloodstream every time I am made aware of just how special this country is. ❤️🇨🇦
In sharp contrast to our nextdoor neighbour, it is nice to have a well dressed head of state who can stay on script. Not only for the Throne Speech but for their place in the constitutionally mandated structure of government. If only the unelected leader of the opposition party could be so wise.
I was surprised as well at the swelling of pride in my heart! I love my country, I always have, but today there was even more pride in it and a desire to move forward and makes even better!
Excellent overview of the event! This was a very moving speech about Canada, our history, potential, strengths and very promising future. Your capture of the pride in the room and country is also moving. Well done! Thanks!
Deidre, what can we do about her RAMMING her freaking power tripping changes to our policing, WHO says she can?? What can we do about her controlling our elections?? We need her freaking GONE!!
Support a split in the UCP. Encourage the NDs to get some coherent and targeted messaging on fixing the relationship with Ottawa… that reminds me, I have a post to write :)
