Citizen Keating
It snowed today. Big wet fluffy snowflakes. Unusual for Vancouver, but wonderfully appropriate for Donna's big day: Today she became a Canadian Citizen. While it is nice to see Mother Nature showing some good Canadian pride, this means I can no longer call her a foreigner, which I'll miss. It also means we won't get pulled aside at borders, which I won't miss. Recently Donna has been traveling under as many as three names and two flags, none of which is looked upon kindly by our neighbours to the south. In case you're wondering, in the end, after 29 years of living in Canada as a landed immigrant, it was the promise of voting that got her to swear her allegiance to the crown.

Is she really swearing allegiance to the crown by leaving Mother England for one of her colonies?
