‘Was Canada Too Boring for Queen Elizabeth II?’

Gawker goes there, digging up a series of straight-faced shots from the Queen’s just-wrapped visit to make the point. Of course, we know that Canada is the furthest thing from boring—and I’m betting the Queen would agree.

Great pics and commentary.

Ah, gotta love Gawker to try and spark things up.  All for a few readers.  For the record, this is one American who lives Canada and its people.  My favorite band, my favorite sport, and some of my fondest travel memories come from Canada.

I know it is just one man’s opinion, but I don’t like the media speaking for me.

Well Canada will be really exciting compared to Oman which she will visit in a few months.

Though the Queen last visited Oman in the 1970s Sultan Qaboos has visited London more often. So its good news that she will visit Oman this year as part of the Sultans 40th anniversary celebrations.
