After years of mixed messages, Trudeau signals he's treating the Crown more seriously

OTTAWA — After nearly three years of leaving the post vacant, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed a new Canadian secretary to the Queen, amid rumours of the Crown beginning preparations for its inevitable transition and the possibility of a Canadian royal tour next year.

“Part of the reason that it’s been moved back to PCO and to have it at the centre of government is a recognition that, primarily, the role is an interlocutor between the palaces and the federal government,” said Booth. “Particularly supporting the prime minister in his unique relationship with the Queen and the palaces, and to serve as a single point of contact with the palaces to ensure that things run efficiently.

Harper had appointed the previous secretary, MacLeod, in 2009 after the post had been vacant for several years, at the same time creating an arm’s-length committee to draw up short lists for appointments to lieutenant governors, territorial commissioners, and governors general. Macleod had also chaired that committee, which took up the bulk of his time as Canadian secretary. However, Trudeau disbanded the committee and it no longer exists.

And earlier this year, Trudeau’s government announced it was ending the practice of mailing out prints of the Queen’s portrait as free service to Canadians, citing “the environmental impact and escalating costs,” replacing it with a downloadable file from the internet for people to print themselves. The Monarchist League of Canada criticized the move as “unhelpful to Canada’s identity as a constitutional monarchy,” arguing that the costs of the service were marginal.

Oh Trudeau is going to waste more money, Prince Andrew the pedo or Charles the lion hunter? Gosh that Queen don't get me started on that mess bunch of losers never meant to be in power. Let's distance ourselves from these vile people and become something more.

He just wants his opportunity to do a pirouette like his daddy did. He won’t be happy unless he can recreate all of his daddy’s outlandish behaviours.

jec79 That’s PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU to you

He’s trying to appeal to trad conservatives. How cute!

Oh thank god, for a moment there I thought that said he was going to treat his job more seriously.

The Queen might be a foot and a half shorter than him but she towers above him.

heavy is the head that stands beside the crown

Season three was no joke.

May be the last person who will talk to him

Trudeau looks like he's getting a scolding from the Queen mum
