California flag has a grizzly bear?It also looks very much like the logo for Polar Bear Diamonds. The arc part is supposed to represent the Northern Lights.

Have we seen this private moment yet? It was captured on Canada Day. The guy who took it is getting alot of flack for it.
A regal fireworks display... - img.ly
Tony Clement dodges flak over candid snapshot of Will and Kate - The Globe and Mail
Idk we have the exact same kind of photo from that night released by the government, so I don't really get the what's the big deal bout this one.Good grief, big deal, what kind of "private moment"? They are not in an intimate clinch, they are merely watching the fireworks. Some people find an excuse to complain about anything and everything.

We all felt it was a bit of a Kennedy scenario... "Ask not what your [monarchy] can do for you - ask what you can do for your {monarchy[]." We felt what we could do for it was ... show up, cheer, wave and welcome them. It was a marvelous experience.

I know this pic is small it's a screencap from CBC but I needed to post this. This is the Duchess hugging a member of the public. I thought it was a touching moment.
Oh really? I only saw a few secs and it looked like a hug well good on Catherine for letting her get so close to her.No, it wasn't a hug, I believe. The girl was trying to make Kate take a picture with her. So she put her arm (which really shocked me, I think there is a limit to proximity) on Catherine's back to make her realize she wanna to take the picture, I guess. Tricky situation, it's against the protocol, but to make a fuss about it , would only create unnecessary comments.
Anyways, they spend a good amount of time with people of Slave Lake. And I'm sure those who went, were pleased but the gestures of THRs

Kate did hug someone either yesterday or the day before and William also posed for a photo w/someone in Slave Lake today
Just saw this quote from a local in Slave Lake and this is what I don't understand about people. If William and Kate are out and showing themselves and doing work it's "oh it's for PR they should have done it in private and it's a celebrity thing" If they don't it's oh they're lazy they're avoiding they're job they think they can be normal. Honestly sometimes I feel like they can't win. How are they going to get their message across and bring attention to the causes they're visiting if the media isn't there. Sorry didn't mean to turn it into a rant but it's something that's genuinely been bothering me the last few days.Farris Sobhani was filling up at a gas station a block away from where the crowd gathered. He said the monarchy has a history of oppressing colonies and native peoples and shouldn't be celebrated.
"It's fantastic that people are bringing attention to Slave Lake," he said. "I just think it is unfortunate that we have turned this into celebrity worship.
Sorry dunno the source found it on another board.

I don´t follow this RF much, so what is the point of this tour? If there is any.
This is a newly married couple on their first official tour of a country Prince William will one day be King of. His parents' tour was much longer and so were the tours of his grand and great-grandparents. Canada's too big to cover in one small visit so various members of the royal family usually try to visit different regions during each trip. So yeah, if they were visiting a republic, the visit might be too long. But not a nation that's part of their 'realm.' The whole point of these visits is for the royals to meet ordinary Canadians and for them to meet their future monarch.
As for the events, the couple themselves helped choose the activities they participated in. Their chosen theme for the visit is youth and they've focused on that. They've even said that they want people to address them informally, as confirmed by the Queen's Canadian secretary. The couple have deliberately granted people more access to them than, say, the Queen would because the protocol for her is much stricter and she doesn't do a lot of walkabouts. None of this is random or pointless. Each activity and event has been carefully choreographed.
The particular search and rescue exercise that William took part in is unique to Canada and Britain has sent its pilots here to learn the manoeuvre. One of the articles mentioned that William had heard about it from his colleagues at home and wanted to try it. Catherine wanted to visit PEI because of her fondness for Anne of Green Gables.
William and Kate's visit to Quebec was significant because the Queen hasn't been there in several decades and Charles and Camilla weren't well received there. But this young couple was. It was an important exercise in forging a better image of the monarchy in the province.
