Meanwhile. . . in Canada the Globe and Mail tells Harry and Meghan have a nice vacation. . . and then leave.

The Globe & Mail is a major Canadian newspaper. It opined:

In it, it states:

You are welcome to visit, but so long as you are senior royals, Canada cannot allow you to come to stay.

I'll be frank, I don't think the British monarchy makes any sense of any kind anymore. Queen Elizabeth II ought to be the last British monarch and they ought to pack the whole thing in following her. She's be a nice bookend to the monarchy, having lived a dignified life and having witnesses as an adult the modern British "finest" hour, the collapse of the British Empire, and the emergence of the modern British state.

But a modern state doesn't need a royal. Time to wrap that up.

As for the opinion of the Globe & Mail, well follow the link and you can see what they have to say.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
