The big news of the day

October 8, 2002 by Michael Boyle

The big news of the day

is that John Manley, Deputy Prime Minister, blames honesty for the monarchy furor that’s going on at the moment. Wow it’s tough to live in Canada sometimes. This whole story is ridiculous – Manley was chided into giving his opinion on the monarchy last week and now is being called upon by monarchists to step aside and NOT host the Queen when she visits Ottawa because he said that he wasn’t a huge monarchist, essentially. Of all the things to worry about, this isn’t even in the top 1000. I think some people in this country must be living in a really nice cozy fantasy land if they feel this is an important issue.
