Wonderful news for the UK! They have skillfully negotiated with Canada to keep trading under EU rules. The same EU rules that were so intolerably unfair that the UK decided to leave the EU and negotiate a new deal. The latest on that is that the Brits are waiting to the last minute to blink on Boris Johnson's Cake Plan (i.e. having it and eating it). Not to worry there are always two last minutes with the EU, then a series of last last minutes and a final last last last minute. The weak Europeans, watch them cave at the last last last last minute.

I always thought that Canada was still part of the British commonwealth (they are still queen ring kissing monarchists). Why do they need a separate trade agreement?

I don't think they're the same country the way England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are. Last I checked, Canada was a dominion. Whatever that means.

It still begs the question, what is the point of being a "dominion" or whatever, if the queen cannot even dictate the rules of the trade, taxes, etc.? I mean, it's rather unjust, isn't it - we Americans had to fight a war to have that privilege, so how come Canadians got it without a war?!

Doesn't count until you "politely" tell the Queen where she can shove those jewels. She's still the Queen of Canada, and if she decided to sail over to Ottawa, dissolve parliament, and rule her dominion by royal decree, you couldn't stop her no matter how politely you asked.

Aside: I just crossed another day off the list that Donnie has left occupying the White House, and am looking forward to seeing Americans on the world stage who know that diplomacy involves more than waving middle fingers as p***s substitutes.

Ceremonial title. She literally has no legal claim in this country.

The Governor General can dissolve Parliament, has to assent to acts of Parliament before they become law, and is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Why you tolerate that when you can't even get honors or writs of nobility in exchange is beyond comprehension. Also, shouldn't the current Governor General be a Governess General? And why don't you people lock your doors like civilized folk do?

Yet according to Basilissa, neither she nor the Queen can do anything up here. So which case are you arguing, exactly? :???:

There's a big difference between dictating the law and having the right of royal assent to laws passed by Parliament.
That's why Donald Trump preferred to rule by executive order.

They follow a religion made up by Henry VIII so he could marry anyone he fancied.
I mean, at least they ditched the Pope at the same time, but how can they take themselves seriously when they are so wilfully taking part in an ancient King's sexcapades?

Are you implying that Henry VIII is still sleeping around?

It's very unclear who he's talking about, Sister. The Queen? I doubt that she can be bothered at her age. Her feckless and mostly divorced and remarried/married-to-divorcees descendants? Or the Godless Brits generally? Because it is certainly untrue to say this of the British:

Last year, fewer than 750,000 of them (out of a population of over 65 million) went anywhere near that church, unless they wanted a fancy backdrop for their wedding photos.
I think, in fact, that Britain might be ripe for a Landover mission - if only we can work out when the rainy season ends.

That's an interesting reaction, Didymus. But I don't understand it. Why should it inspire you to sigh, when those very mildly affected by it - the Godless British and their hated Europeon enemies - remain entirely unconcerned?

I think it's worth celebrating that in around 50 minutes from now - at 5 pm, Freehold time, Britain will finally be freed from the Europeon yoke. They had to wake up the 94-year-old Queen after midnight to get her to sign off on the paperwork, but she's a game old girl and was happy to oblige.
Technically, Britain leaves at midnight on 31st December. But the Europeons insisted on this being done at midnight in Brussels (famous for its foul green vegetables), not realizing that the hour's time difference meant that this would release the British an hour early! Boris Johnson wins again!
