Some Throne Speech pics

I try to keep my digital camera handy as I go about my business on the Hill and I do snap some pics from time to time but it can often take a while to publish them. So my apologies for getting around only now to some pics from Throne Speech I – the long version we heard in November. That occasion, which opened the 40th Parliament, was replete with all the pomp and circumstance and Laureen Harper you'd expect. We would see a second version — a Note from the Throne, as that wag Senator Jim Munson would call it — a few months later.

So here's a pic I snapped of Governor General Michaëlle Jean reviewing the troops just before entering the Centre Block of the House of Commons.

I used to publish photos like this here but I'm now going to send you off to Google's PicasaWeb. It's just plain easier to publish them, tag them, and provide other info about them using a service like that.
