Reflection on passing of Queen Elizabeth II -- building my strength to get back to fuller function.

I woke up the sad news of the imminent passing of the Queen who also served as Canada's Head of State -- she was the Queen of Canada and we will be entering a major constitutional process along with the UK. I'm feeling good today so I thought I'd collect and express some thoughts on the challenging conversations that likely will trigger in Canada. I sprinkle in a little of my own past as an immigrant and how I've observed our transition from a colonial past to a progressive modern nation, still a work in progress of course.
It feels good to talk about something more than headaches, nausea, and endless pills. Thanks for letting me push myself a bit as I begin my sprint to the finish.

Such a fascinating video, esp the story of your family. And your discussion of the Monarchy and debates raging in Canada reminded me of the Constitutional crisis we witnessed as roommates in Waterloo decades ago.
