Dark Ages Dog British Royalty

Toronto hit by blackout during queen's visit

"TORONTO — A fire at a Toronto transformer station knocked out power to part of the city Monday, snarling traffic in the midst of a blistering heat wave.
Hydro One, the provincial power company, said the blackout was due to a fire at a transformer station in west Toronto. About 250,000 homes were darkened, the Toronto Star reported.
By late Monday, power came back on for most of the city.
The outage, which brought back memories of the 2003 blackout that hit Toronto and much of the U.S. eastern seaboard, also affected power at the Fairmont Royal York hotel in downtown Toronto, briefly delaying a state dinner for visiting Queen Elizabeth."

Oh Gosh - I bet someone got called on the carpet for inconveniencing her majesty. She'd better get used to breakdowns. The empire of greed is coming to a rapid end. She may well be the last of her kind.

One love

British royalty is an unsustainable anachronism from the ignorant past and should be done away with forthwith.
