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?

Thank you to Being a Geek for sharing. Game of Thrones is fantastic. If you haven't read the books , read them. In the world of fantasy literature, there have been a lot of average writers, but three great writers stand as colossi . In my view, they have defined the genre: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the mythology it spawned. Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time and the mythology it spawned. George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the mythology it spawned. And if you haven't seen the HBO show yet, then get on it. The show is approaching the end of Season 2. Season 1 was fantastic. Season 3 should be amazing as the show's popularity has amped up HBO's spending. It's available via HBO On Demand or catch it on HBO on Sunday evenings. Another HBO show that is amazing is Boardwalk Empire , be sure to check that out. It's about Prohibition and features Al Capone as one of the characters.
