On 7/7//05 there attacks on London underground. Suicide bombers.
....i was shocked to read that a few of the americans on here had no idea this had happened. Was this story reported?? 56 people died, including my uncle Matthew..
After 7/7 bombings...i think it was on the 14th more bombs were let off...but they failed and only injured 2 people.
Im not sniping at anybody by posting...im just stunned that it never got reported...we hear all about whats going on in the usa etc....so i guessed you would hear the same from us.
Did you hear about the potential plane bombings last summer? When they foiled the aeroplane liquid bomb ideas? ↓

That
explains it better than I can. She doesn't do much just come here for visits and the princes ski at whistler/blackcomb.
Our pm is pretty useless as well. I don't even know who we have right now... we have gone through so many in the last few years. ↑ |

heard about it down under....we also have the same queen...LOL
we are still part of the commonwealth...they are trying to change that and become independant....but the votes went against it.....thats why we have prime ministers as our head instead of presidents...which is why i think they bought it up a couple of elections ago...i think HOWARD (pm) want to be a President....LOL ↑ |

The Canadian Monarchy is a shared monarchy. This article describes the Monarchy from the perspective of Canada. In the other Commonwealth Realms, the constitutional role of the Monarchy is similar, but the historical and cultural significance may differ. For information on the Monarchy in the other Realms, see Other Realms.
Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its reigning monarch, since February 6, 1952. As such she is Canada's head of state and officially called Queen of Canada.
Most of the Queen's powers in Canada are exercised by the Governor General, though she does hold several powers that are hers alone. The Governor General is sometimes referred to as Canada's de facto head of state.[1]
There are several other members of the Canadian Royal Family besides those aforementioned, including the Queen's other children and cousins. ↑ |
