Guardian Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I realy hope Queen Elizabeth will declare open the Games. But I don't think she will do that. We've got a hot new Governor General and at the same time the Queen's gonna open London, so we're better off if Jean opens it. I hope the news about her being a Quebec separatist is just scare tactics. Right now, some people are "pressuring" her to reveal how she voted in the 1995 referendum.

Guardian Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 So, Jean is reported to be supporting Canada. Makes me wonder how she, if it was her, managed to get herself in that piece of film having toasts with stanch Quebec separatists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernard Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 That will look really great on the TV when Vancouver presents a ceremony that says "I am Canadian, proud and free, progressive and modern, multicultural and hungry for the future, and in control of my own destiny" and then someone opens the Games in the name of the Queen of England.... Hey, I'm sure there are old white ladies of British extraction in Canada as well. You can't exclude them from the Opening Ceremony. Besides, she is not the Queen of England. England hasn't existed as a political entity since 1707. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando2020 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 unless Charles becomes king before 2010 and wants to open the games NOOOOOOOO!!! Don't even joke about big ears becoming king! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Now that Clarkson's GG role is pretty much closed, it will be interesting on how Jean is going to do with her new role as GG. Besides, if I got my information correctly, she will open the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. That will make an all-woman cast on this role for Canada so far in this regard. Of course, that doesn't beat Athens 2004, with a first woman mayor of the city ever and a woman president of the OCOG at that Games time. The CBC made quite a statement about that then.
