Well I am glad I read the article. I thought she was talking on her shoe-phone in the picture when I first saw it.

Hebridean said:I don't see who else could prevent the GG from going as she has indicated that she wants to. What has changed since Adrienne visited: The Prime Minister, and one who perhaps doesn't want too many people overshadowing his own gutsy (no pun intended) visit to Afghanistan.

I do wonder about this claim of "2 Weeks Notice." That I find rather unusual. I am sure that a function like this would have involved quite a lot of State Planning, and would not have been a sudden spur of the moment decision by the Queen.
2 Weeks is BS.
Hebridean said:If its safe enough for Stephen, Peter, Alexa, and Brian (all visited K-City) it is safe enough for the GG. Sorry I can't answer your question on the two weeks notice. (maybe I was wrong on that).

Hebridean said:Oops. yes indeed PM Harper-apologies- I think Mr. Prime Minister works too. The Governor General would be Her Excellency.
CanadaPhil said:I'm thinking that if the GG had just called the school and said.....
"Oh hey....I'm so sorry...Someone messed up my scheduling and it just happens to be HRM's 80th Birthday, can we maybe do this next week?"......
that the widdle kiddies would have said "No problem".
Afterall, they were scheduled to be in school at least for another 2 weeks before summer vacation right??
Something tells me Ms. Jean knew EXACTLY what she was doing.
