Do the right thing and send the medals back! 7.5 million spent on this.Make me want to puke.Healthcare could use that.It's time to forget the Royals.Keep them in the history books.I think they have no ties to my generation and I will always look at that way.I think you will see alot more people send back those medals.Buddy in the Military do not want to recieve this medal because it means nothing!

So What !!!!!!! We are not british, do away with them.


Dear "DO THE RIGHT THING". I don't think 7.5 million will fix healthcare, not even just in Charlottetown! Seven and a half million represents only 125grand a year for her reign so far. The revenue generated from HRH Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee year events will quite possibly make up for that spent on the medals etc. If you don't think so, I'd like to point to the money "wasted" here on Regis & What's-her-name... turns out it was worth it!!!
