Canadian Monarchists Want Prince Harry To Become Their King

As time is passing by, it is becoming apparent that the future of monarchy in Canada is not at all certain. Some opinion polls suggest two thirds of Canadian population prefer the country to become a republic.

A major issue is the fact that the head of state only visits Canada once in every two to three years. However, royalists in Canada have a novel solution to this age old problem and that is to install Prince Harry as their king.

Although, Prince Harry is the third in line to the throne but with this solution he could set up a home in Ottawa, give a strong permanent Royal family presence in Canada and silence those who believe in having an elected head of state.

Perhaps, this is the kind of re-invention that the Royal family needs to make to handle this situation smartly with Prince Harry to set up a Canadian branch of the Royal family. Or if not this the future king should rotate to keep people happy - six months in Canada, six in Australia and six in London.

Though, I genuinely have no interest in the fake Royal family but I actually kind of like the Prince Harry to become the king of Canada option. Partly because I have always found Harry a thousand times better than William since my childhood. But then...it doesn't change anything. The Royal family practically does nothing. They are just like dolls all dressed up. There is nothing substantial that they do with their presence except have these pretentious events and weddings with lots of money.

Royal Couple Doesn't Want Any Wedding Gifts

Prince William and his soon to be bride Kate Middleton have asked their wedding guests and well wishers for donations for a special charitable fund instead of giving them any wedding gifts. St. James Palace has announced this news.

The couple thought about it and have selected 26 charities falling in five different categories - children, arts and sports, conservation, service personnel, help and care at home. The guests can donate to any charity they like through the website: www.royalweddingcharityfund.org/.

Most of the charities are very small and they need donations to operate well and continue their noble cause. The list of charities includes anti-bullying group, a dance group, a charity for army widows and Earthwatch - a community of scientists and environmentalists. Some of them work with disadvantaged young people while some are based in Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

It seems William has taken this compassionate side from his late mother, Princess Diana who despite of her troubled life always went out of her way to help the unfortunate and less privileged beings around the world. It is said that both Kate and William have been associated with charity work before. This was something different and I didn't really expect a kind announcement of the sort from the royal family. And I guess with Prince Andrew's shameless history, such kindness and consideration would be quite a delightful thought for the Britain and the royal family members.

Save over 200,000 seals with your signature

Yet again, we have a difficult situation at hand. It's the grey seals in Canada that are in trouble. Authorities there feel that these grey seals are killing the cods in the waters, which is not true as they are depleting due to continuous over fishing for many years. The goal is to get 30,000 signatures and right now we have more than 14,000. So, kindly sign and forward the message around after reading the whole story.

A recent report brought to light a proposal prepared for the Government of Canada that would see 220,000 grey seals killed and incinerated in their protected Sable Island nursery.

To reach the proposed number of 220,000 seals, the cull and disposal program would run at birthing time each year for about five years and cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated $35 million. Please urge the Canadian government to categorically reject this outrageous proposal.

Of course, this disgusting grey seal massacre will not help the recovery of depleted cod stocks. Culling of marine mammals has never been shown to benefit any commercial fish stock. According to your own scientists, the current state of cod stocks is the result of the long-term effects of overfishing — not grey seals.

Help Carmen Meija

Carmen Mejia's life is at risk because she has dared to speak out about a controversial gold mine and the impacts that local people have encountered to their health and environment.

Stop the violence against human rights defenders »

In June, Carmen spoke about a Canadian-owned mine at a public meeting in Guatemala. But before and after the meeting, she received messages that said, "Your shouldn't defend human rights, or you'll be killed." Three weeks later, one of her colleagues, Deodora, was shot in the eye. She was seriously wounded, but survived.

Please sign the petition and stand up for human rights and protection.
