You must have been worried sick. I saw that on the news too and when it mentioned Indiana, I thought of ya.

so it went international then? lovely bit of news. :rolleyes: Yes I was worried sick. Snookie loves Sugarland and part of her gift this year was tickets for her and her best friend...cheap seats...thank heavens! Yep I think I aged about 10 years before she called me. but the girls were okay, just a bit shaken up and muddy (from trying to help remove the injured before emergency personnel arrived) - maybe it will be rescheduled for elsewhere. something tells me that stage is going to be out of commission for awhile.

I see on the news that the Canadian military are going to revert back to its traditional department names.

Canadian Forces Maritime to be Royal Canadian Navy (again)
Canadian Forces Air Command to be Royal Canadian Air Force (again)
Land Force Command to be Canadian Army (again)

Following the British tradition and that of the Commonwealth like Australia or New Zealand. Glad to see Canada is coming back to its senses and restoring honour back to the Canadian military.

So adding the word "royal" back eh? wonder how much the recent (and some would say triumphal) visit of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge had to do with that? :D they seem like a lovely young couple...that will improve the monarchy! :D

Let's hope the marriage will last a lifetime with happy memories, zero scandals and adorable, beautiful children. :)

Now if only Westminster Parliament could pass a decree with other Parliaments in the dominion, I mean commonwealth allowing Prince William to succeed the Queen.

Canada has an army? Haha, kidding. Weird, wonder why they switched.

Yeah since they've spent the last ten years getting knocked off in that Afghanistan shithole we don't see much of them.

Glad your daughter's safe Rac.
I think it's due to the realisation that being part of the modern day monarchy is a cool thing and not necessarily mean being bogged down with historical & traditional rules and regulations that Canada is obviously uncomfortable with (whereas it's part of what it means to be British). Besides even in Tinsel Town, celebs would love to have the monarchy so Canada probably realise that since they have it, why not flaunt it? Hence, coming to its senses. :D
