No. Obviously the wedding crystal is in the (not leaded) glass cabinet. The China is just in a kitchen cupboard. Near the kettle. Just in case. Oh my god. I need help.
Does anyone know where I can get a Harry & Meghan mug? My William and Kate one is getting a bit dishwasher-worn?

I can't get an official one, that would have to go in the 'good' cupboard and not be used.
. No idea why I didn't consider Amazon though. Popped one in my basket, and with free shipping it's not much more expensive than the W&K one I got on a Windsor tourist tat stand.

I heard on CBC radio this morning of Vancouver's apology for discrimination against the Chinese.
Included as an example was Chinese Permanent Residents being denied the right to vote. They specifically said PRs. Of course, PRs don't get to vote.
I understand that the apology concerns some time in the past, even back to the 1800s. So was there a time in the past PRs could vote or did they just get it wrong on the radio?
CBC news website talks about Chinese immigrants being denied the vote so presumably that was about Citizens. Or was there no such distinction back then?

When I first arrived in Canada in 1963 landed immigrants had the right to vote. I don't know if it applied to all landed immigrants or just those from the UK or Commonwealth.
I only became a citizen in order to get employment with the Federal Government. I believe that right was taken away sometime in the seventies but I'm not at all sure when, as I was by then a citizen.

Not sure why you would think a forum of british ex-pats would be interested in the goings on of a family that exploit the workers and by hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

Did you forget the

Yep..forgot that.
I'm not a big fan of the royal family having a role even ceremonial here in Canada. I find it all very mawkish. When I buy stamps at the post office I usually request 'any stamp but the one with the Queen on it'. I know what a rebel I am.
I get it, they seem like a nice young family..they've had a third child who will likely never be the monarch..but they haven't discovered a cure for cancer or figured out the meaning of life....and babies are born every day.
