The Known Salute The Unknown

Here's just a quickie on Will and Kate's tour of Canada. (You didn't think we'd ignore it, did you?)

Unlike the Duchess of Cambridge, who's on her first trip to North America, we cats have had the pleasure of visiting Ottawa many times. And we've always admired the Canadian War Memorial there. Why? Because with its Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (above), it's right smack in the middle of the capital's picturesque downtown, a stone's throw from Parliament Hill (and, perhaps more important, D'Arcy McGee's).

Sacred ground accessible to all. Now, that's democracy.

See you in Montreal on Saturday, kids!
