Queen’s grandson to divorce Montreal wife
Since it’s news, let’s get it out of the way that the Queen’s grandson is divorcing his wife, Montrealer Autumn Kelly. Much was made of her “giving up her Catholic faith” to marry in, but in this day and age the distinction between Roman Catholicism and Church of England is negligible compared to the bigger issue whether you’re a religious believer or not.

Hidden at the end of the piece, a photo of the queen at the train station. Because the queen takes the train. Yes, it’s probably a royal coach, or even a royal train, but imagine what trains would be like in Canada if Trudeau had to take the train.

@John what makes you so certain that the trains would be any better because a PM is on it? PM’s have been incredibly reluctant to spend any money on anything that could be seen as improving their lifestyle, which has lead 24 Sussex to its current state. The CC-150 they fly on isn’t particularly luxurious. Also at least 2 cabinet ministers regularly travel between Ottawa and Montreal by train (Marc Garneau and Miller)

@Spi: Maybe there would be more frequent service outside of the Quebec/Windsor corridor. Maybe prices would go down, (especially if he’s unwilling to spend money). Maybe there would actually be rail service in more of the country, (for example, only 5 of the 10 provincial capitals are reachable by train).

I’d forgotten about them, but their marriage got a lot of press as it was happening since she was local. Then no news that I remember,until this divorce..
