Anybody else SICK of all this royal baby stuff ?

They said something about Canada being mad - something about a Catholic can't become queen/king

It would be interesting if Canada left the Commonwealth over it

Canada and the US could start a NEW Commonwealth --- NWO

Hahaha - really?! What century is this again?!

I've heard nothing about this, and it's hard to believe that anyone with any real power in Canada genuinely cares about this issue - let alone the country as a whole.

Mikey - what are you doing to me?! Now I'm looking this up!


UPDATE: I can't find anything confirming that story.

The closest thing I found was an article about how Canada (and other Commonwealth nations) were going to update their laws to allow the first born to be recognized as a monarch - whether it's a boy or girl. And there doesn't seem to be any controversy about the update to the law:

I heard it on CNN last night

CNN, NBC Nightly News, Entertainment Tonight and even our own local news station. They all talked about her maybe having twins, how much weight she will gain and the odds on names if a boy or girl. Not to mention compareing it to when Diana was expecting. Really?

They should name the kid Henery The Eighth - with respect to Peter Noone

[starsky]

yup, it's getting annoying. there's no need to air it every frickin day!!

[Zemo]

Stopped watching the news, except a little local stuff. I can barley tolerate all the hyperbole on espn anymore.

Yes.

(And it seems to be getting more coverage overseas than it is here.)

I'm not doubting you - it sounded like the kind of crazy thing CNN would try to make sound like a controversy to fill 24 hours.

I did find a Wikipedia article that confirms what you were saying though:

Amazingly there are people who were debating this issue as recently as 2007 (as a Charter of Rights and Freedoms issue - which is basically a human rights thing). I still can't imagine many people in Canada would want to drop out of the commonwealth for this reason - or even seriously debate the issue.

I could not care less about the whole thing. My wife, on the other hand, wants to talk about it ALL THE TIME. I don't know how many more polite ways I can say it before I bust out the old, "I don't give a flying [fudge] about it."

Best line came from Dennis Miller. She better hope the kid doesn't have her father-in-law's ears.

They sit on the can like everyone else. I'm not impressed.

So now the nurse that talked to the prank-call DJs has killed herself??
