I thought that those of you who were recent visitors to Canada might enjoy this royal "weather report" in the Daily Telegraph at:-

I am however not sure what to make of the claim that

"At a banquet, where she was served bison tenderloin, Mr Klein announced that Highway Two, the 420-mile Edmonton to Calgary
corridor, would be renamed "The Queen Elizabeth Highway".

Not only, he boasted, would it be the only highway in Canada named for Her Majesty,but it would be Canada's "longest highway named after a member of the Royal Family".

I suspect those Canadians living on the Toronto-Niagra corridor would dispute that first "fact"!!!

Oh the skyline of Toronto is something you'll get onto
But they say you've got to live there for a while

No one should ever accuse Ralph Klein of getting his facts straight.
Still, a good squabble between Alberta and Ontario provides the rest of us in Canada with great entertainment....
