God bless our Queen on the occasion of her 79th birthday. The Queen represents that foundation of Canada's democratic institutions. The Queen provides a refreshing contrast to the petty politics in Ottawa.


THE MONARCHIST LEAGUE OF CANADA proudly proclaims their loyalty to Canada's Monarchy. God bless Queen Elizabeth II.
