A Royal Visit
The Queen, of course, was here over the weekend to dedicate the Human Rights Museum at the Manitoba Homecoming Concert for Human Rights at The Forks and do some other Head of State stuff. It was her fifth, and likely, final trip.
Personally, I am not anti-monarchy. I don't mind the tie to the past. Besides, we need a head of state and as Peter C. Newman once put it, in the Queen we get a "Cadillac head of state with a Ford Escort price". Some pics from the Forks:
