WillP: High forehead at high altitude, but about that nose: Sort-of makes one think about how it must feel when a lady has to take her husband's name in marriage. Her own name is forever lost. I know my mother's maiden name, and both of my grandmothers'. I suspect that my nieces and nephews don't even care. In 100 years, Mount Trudeau will be renamed again. Change is inevitable. Hey, one bright spot, if we ever do like they do in the US and start carving images in mountains, we can assume there is sufficient rock face on Mount Logan to put on P.E.T.'s high forehead! (But then there's the nose. We might be hard-pressed to find an outcropping big enough for the nose...) canuck-l-head

It's been done apparently, Chretien just did it yesterday, no discussion, no vote - ca.search.yahoo.com ... yes, a travesty ... Trudeau merits honour for sure, but not at the cost of Sir William E. canuck-l - the spanish system makes more sense imho, a woman does not lose her paternal surname on marriage, she simply adds that of the husband [the second apellido] ... the kids receive both ... for example - Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, Ruz was his mother's father's apellido paternal, Castro his father's father's [ad infinitum] surname ... still not entirely fair perhaps, as the maternal surnames last only two generations ... but what does it matter, you can call me anything, just don't call me late for supper. Mt Logan is still growing, measurable uplift ... yes change is inevitable, but i'm not sure that prime ministerial Diktats are.
