The King of Canada

Glued to the Television watching the King's attendance in the Senate and reading the Speech from the Throne. Excellent speech and just collects all of the promises made by Prime Minister Carney during the election period. It will be a hostile public if anyone tries to bring the government down in the near future and a guarantee for a majority Liberal government if anyone succeeds. We do tend to be a punishing electorate if brought to an election prematurely in our opinion. The speech read like a Progressive Conservative speech from the throne actually; one would find it hard to differentiate from such speeches thirty years ago. However, I remain a Conservative supporter for the most part throughout my life. But I am enthusiastic for Prime Minister Carney to be successful; he did get the most support in the election and deserves the opportunity to bring his skill set to the table as it is extremely impressive. One can feel the vibes amongst our allies when he meets with them. They like him very much and that can sometimes be a real asset. 

Completed the review of the Gedmatch matches and they are now ready to enter into my databases and I have done one today already. But it is cleaning day and the main floor and I will be accomplishing that first. The matches are quite interesting and primarily Ancestry so take a little while as I check them in Ancestry as well to see if I can actually place the individuals and have their results for my known file. 

Beautiful day today and has been lovely here for the King's and Queen's visit which was really very well received. Any of the not interested people stayed away as the cheers for them were huge and made me wish I was there to add in my voice but I decided I would watch it on television since I would miss the Speech from the Throne if I went downtown. The King speaks three languages very well English of course, French and German. He also speaks some Gaelic and other languages unknown to me. He is a very well educated person having been the first to graduate from University in his family. I always find the Queen to be perfect at her task of support as she always have been from the first time of knowing the King way back years both either were married. Life doesn't always flow for two people the way they would like but in their case they finally found happiness late in life with each other. 

Back to work; much to do including outdoor work.
