Have you seen our throne?

Have you seen our throne?

The throne pictured here (bottom left of photo) has apparently gone missing or been stolen. Usually, our Governor General, the Queen's representative, uses it. It was recently used outside at another location for the swearing in ceremony of the new government and the ministers. It really is just tragically funny, given that we just had elections and one of the major issues that all our parties focused their rhetoric upon was crime. Now, a tief has run off with the symbolic chair of sovereignty.

This happened almost on the same day as our former Prime Minister retired after recently losing the popular vote in our last elections, which I'm proud to say were internationally observed, certified and, for the most part, peaceful. We are one of the oldest continuous Parliaments in the western hemisphere. That's kind of cool. In the mean time, have you seen our throne?
