the Queen is Dead

And so we have a holiday up for grabs.

From Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth, the monarchs of Canada have principally been Queens – we don’t commemorate Edwards VII & VIII, nor Georges V & VI the way we do Victoria and Elizabeth. Small wonder given the lengths of everyone’s reign. Victoria reigned over Canada from 1867 to 1901 (34 years of 65 as Queen), Edward VII for 9 years, George V for 26, Edward VIII for 1, George VI for 16, Elizabeth II for 70, almost half of Canada’s history.

Kings: 52
Queens: 104

Roughly 2/3 of the short time Canada has existed, it has been ruled by 2 Queens.

the Queen is dead, and Charles III is no monarch of Canada, despite what parliamentarians think. (vote results “to sever ties between the Canadian State and the British monarchy,” – defeated: 266 to 44)

Did you know that QE2’s death on Sep 8 2022 fell between Sep 7, aka theAbysmal Year Day 10~XVIII (Mirror) and Sep 9, aka theAbysmal 13-Month Calendar’s Year 9 Month 9 Day 9?

Must be a coincidence.
