Is the world upside down? Canada’s La Presse tweet seems to suggest getting rid of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her death while Lebanon seems to think it is part of the Commonwealth? Luckily there is Mr. Blanchet, respectful, regardless of any political conviction

May your memory be eternal…

Bambi had an earlier brief post paying tribute to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the day of her death, as shown further below.

This being said, on September 8, 2022 (yes same day as the above), La Presse was too rushed to tweet the following:

The tweeted article above is about the end of the constitutional monarchy and it is telling us how her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II appears on Canada’s bank notes, passports, coins, and postal stamps. Bambi does not have any problem in life with any publication. Yet she could not help not to think that it seems insensitive, and surely disrespectful, to start with such newspaper articles JUST a few minutes after this lady’s last breath of life.

The above came in contrast with the wonderful tweet of Mr. Yves-François Blanchet with respectful and dignified words of condolences to the British people. We are talking here about the head of the Bloc Québécois federal party, which is far from being pro-monarchy or even perhaps pro-Canada, especially without a strong and respected Québec (i.e., its best interests). Thank you Mr. Blanchet for your professionalism and humanity: “On behalf of all elected officials, teams and members of the Bloc Québécois, I send our most sincere condolences to the people of England and to the family of her Majesty Elizabeth II. She has been in the heart of a troubled century with the desire to be a positive force within it”.

As for Lebanon, Bambi does not know what to think of its decision to declare three days of national mourning and an additional fourth day of national mourning on September 18. Why? Does the official Lebanon think it is part of the Commonwealth or what? And by the way, did Lebanon have as many mourning days after the Beirut blast?

  1. I’m not mourning the death of Liz. I’m sorry but this royal family are far from admirable.
    I feel I may speak truthfully about the current group of parasites in the UK because at this point in time and after two years of corona [crown] nonsense if people don’t wake up to this tyranny and taxation, they never will – you do not have to be loyal to people who have zero interests in the plight of the Common People.
    Thanks for writing about this topic – I saw the article at Wark Times on the Queen visiting Sackville in 1984.

    1. Thank you for expressing your thoughts, Sally. Grief is a very personal matter. All thoughts are welcome on this blog, including non-grief thoughts/feelings. The fact your are thanking Bambi for writing about this topic speaks volumes about your open-mindedness. Thank you for your continuous reading and comments.

  2. I just want to comment on how officials in Lebanon declared 4 days of national mourning for her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II May she Rest In Peace, while the officials in Lebanon did not even mourn the victims of the port explosion not even one day of closure. Those politicians of ours did not consider the port victims as human beings unfortunately, best example is the way they are treating the victims families as aggressors and most of all they are not letting Judge Bitar to continue with his investigation of the explosion.
