Pledge allegiance or get out!

Some wisdom from Canadian courts, which have decreed that Canadian military staff must pledge allegiance to Her Majesty, no exceptions. I am fed up with people thinking the world is a cafeteria where you can pick whatever you like and leave the rest, with governments and employers being merely your servers. Whatever your views, if you are in the military HM is your Commander-in-Chief and Head of State. There's no "personal views" in the military, for pete's sake! Again: follow the rules or get out!

Repeat after me:

I, Aralt Mac Giolla Chainnigh, do Solemnly swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors according to law, forever. So help me God.

See, wasn't so difficult, was it?

Long to Reign Over Us

HM Queen Elizabeth II Became today the oldest British monarch, overtaking Queen Victoria. This is a remarkable achievement for HM, especially considering her wisdom, authority and style untouched by age and the changing times.

We all wish Her Majesty a solid health and more years of wisely reigning over all her loyal subjects and Dominions.

God Save the Queen!
