I read this wonderful quote and saw this stunning artwork by England's Banksy and putting two and four together,
it reminded me to mention that today, May 24th,
is a national holiday here in Canada... YES!
"The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere.
The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped
around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything
that smells like money."
Following the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, May 24 was by imperial decree made Empire Day
throughout the British Empire. And it was an Empire. She was the Empress on top of the World!
Soverign of the Royal Family Order of King George IV
Sovereign of England
Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Scotland
Sovereign of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Ireland
Sovereign of the Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick, United Kingdom
Sovereign of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, United Kingdom
Sovereign of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George British India
Sovereign of the Order of British India, British India
Sovereign of the Indian Order of Merit, British India
Sovereign of the Most Exalted Order of the Star of India, United Kingdom
Sovereign of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert, British India
Sovereign of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire, British India
Sovereign of the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, United Kingdom
Sovereign of the Distinguished Service Order, United Kingdom
Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order
Of course, for us snooker fans, Queen Vic ruled India when Neville Chamberlain invented the game of snooker
at the officer's mess of the 11th Devonshire Regiment in Jubbulpore (Jabalpur), India in 1875.
The Victoria Day holiday is colloquially known as May Two-Four in parts of Eastern Canada a double entendre
that refers both to the date around which the holiday falls (May 24) and the Canadian slang for a case of twenty-
four beers (a "two-four"), a drink popular during the long weekend, but for the first time ever, this weekend,
banned from national parks
CHEERS!
