Now, Now, Settle Down,
I heard from a PR rep that Her Excellency has designed her own personal vice-regal emblem. I have not yet seen it, but I am told that the emblem consists of (pardon my heraldic ignorance...) of two black mermaids blowing conch shells, on either side of a crest of some nature under scribe with the motto (in French) "Breaking down the solitudes".. Oh, yes, apparently there is a Sanddollar in the mix.
The symbols are of Hatian origin, and the motto refers to the English and French groups in Canada...I would have thought that it would have been more representative of her adopted (Fr citizenship was renounced) country. As well, the local A-Channel reports that 71% of the QC residents surveyed thought well of the "appointment" and that it perhaps would improve relations with Canada... ...Only in Canader, you say....
