You were certainly "Johnny on the spot" in finding that link. I've got news for you about interstellar travel Thamsey, we are all closer to molluscs than interstellar travel.

Canadians are not afraid of Charles being emblazoned on our coinage just bored with the whole idea of monarchy. A famous Brit once said, "Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead" G.K. Chesterton

My ancestors were Irish, Chuckles had Greek ancestors, most Canadians came from the far flung remnants of the now defunct British Empire and have no reason to pay any tribute to a crown not their own.

And Yeats is certainly an improvement over much of our recent fare.
