Happy Canada Day

Well, cynicism dissolved when a whole squad of galloping Mounties accompanied Kate and William's royal Landau up to Parliament Hill (live Web cam here) for Canada Day.  Kate wore Lock and Co.'s red maple leaf fascinator, designed by Sylvia Fletcher (at last Google count, the hat had inspired over 4,000 articles, and it's only been in circulation on the Web for a few hours).  I wonder how long it will take before copies of the hat, or knock-offs, become available online.  Photographer Richard McGuire has a set of Canadian icon photos here, all clichés (except the Rockies) covered, but they're still nice photos.
