Dido,
I’m not a royalist either, but admittedly, QEll is an extraordinary professional, symbolizing a sense of nationhood and continuity (signified by other kinds of conventions and symbols for the USA), though, judging by one post, not for “her” Canada.
I went to see “my” queen, another professional, during the 5th of May liberation day festivities. Allowing yourself to feel part of this “bigger” thing can be a an entirely new experience, to have the freedom now to do what you want, to see and do whatever you please, fitting in with harmless customs big or small that bind people together in a common bond of humanity, without always feeling pressured to derogatorily JUDGE others, can indeed feel GREAT!

I have always admired the Queen of England, for her grace, dignity, poise, and she is sweet, lively and seems genuinely caring of the people. Plus, I just like her! When she comes on a TV news clip, I always stop what I'm doing and enjoy seeing her.
I wish I could say the same for those blasted Bushes!
