The Children of Privilege

Kate and Will have been thrilling people in one city after another, according to my on-line news source. Each day sees another city being thrilled. Ottawa. Edmonton. Vancouver. All these thrills block out any other news.

These two celebrities spent part of a day in Summerside. What a spectacle! It so happens I had to drive to Lower Freetown, a journey of 20 minutes at the most. It took me the best part of 90 minutes because I encountered a crowd of pedestrians coming from the waterfront where Will had demonstrated his "bravery" and skill by lifting aloft in one of our latest choppers and landing it on a cruiser. (Show-off time.)This line of pedestrians coming from the Royal Presence was at least a mile long, to say nothing of the vehicle traffic. Man, did I pick the wrong time to go to Lower Freetown.

Thank God, they're finally gone and I celebrate the return of sanity. As a proud Canadian and an avowed anti-monarchist, I resent these Royals coming here and acting like Lords of the Realm. Had I any say in the matter, I would politely ask them to leave and delare a Republic of Canada with an elected President.
