I'd beg to differ, that the ties to the monarchy have stopped having an effect on Canada.

I can see why someone from Quebec would feel that way though.

Why must we drop everything that is important to English Canadians?

first of all, I am an english Canadian.

secondly, you'll find that many English Canadians, from all over the country, share the sentiment that the Monarchy does not belong in our system any longer.

No, even if they won barely, Tampa was not nearly as exciting as Calgary was to be in for the playoffs. It's not as hockey-mad as Calgary is.

My bad. When you said Calgary was the place to be if you were a hockey fan, I naturally assumed that meant you wanted a winner. I stand corrected now that I fully realize I am talking to a Canadian (i.e. perennial loser).

Tampa won with Canadian talent and because of a bad ref call.

Why would a bunch of expatriated Britons continue to bow to a bunch of Germans in the House of Hannover (conviniently renamed Winsor)?

There was a 225,000 person march on Saturday, which passed off peacefully enough. The police presence has probably been over the top... they completely outnumber the protestors.
