    What a total knob Granatstein is. By restoring the titles we are now a colony? I guess if royal patronage is the yardstick by which colonial status is measured, we never ceased to be one. I wonder if the next time I'm stopped by an RCMP officer I can get out of a ticket by telling him his backward, colonial police force has no jurisdiction in a modern, independent Canada and he should get his ass back to the 19th century where it belongs?

    I can't get my head around the fact that a historian has so little regard for history and tradition.

    Indeed. A major tool. Did he feel this way when he took his oath of allegiance to the Queen and attended the Royal Military College of Canada?

    In 1992 Jack had no trouble accepting the J.B. Tyrrell Historical Medal from of all organizations - The ROYAL Society of Canada!

    A hypocrite indeed!
