I can't see that being too popular in most of Canada. I can't imagine wearing a ribbon/pin on coats etc for 10 days after the Queen dies etc.
When the Queen mother died, flags were at 1/2 mast for days and I had no idea that was the reason for them.....she was a fine lady, but honestly she hadn't been queen for almost 50 years etc when she died.
When the Queen does die, don't turn on CBC Newsworld, CNN, etc for days. It will be relentless news reels of past trips/junkets/ceremonies played repeatedly.
