Good to know. I absolutely love the people and land of Canada, and I even lived and worked in Vancouver for 10 months in 2004, but as an outsider, it seems bizarre to have a foreigner for your head of state. Especially after she snubbed you at the Olympics opening ceremony and outsourced to the Governor General to act on her behalf. (I remember she snubbed Sydney in 2000 too.)

Doesn’t paying homage to another country’s monarch seem a bit loony?
Yes it does:



(Sorry. Couldn't resist. Love ya, Canada!)

I'm pretty sure Steve had that in mind when he wrote that line. Here's the explanation of the joke for the Canadian-challenged: Loonie.

Here's a video which may explain it a little better

Wait, wait. Do you mean you uploaded the photo that shows up on your profile page? There are actually different photos you can upload: Profile Photo and Avatar Photo. If you upload that one as an Avatar Photo, it should show up.

That's a funny video, especially since our Australian PM was ousted by his own party last week!

P.S. I like the Queen.

I know you don't care, you warned us about this, yada yada. But I wanted to share my perspective regardless.

So why don't you try to hook up with Steve instead of Rachelle then?

Ah...there are two different avatars! Okay, that is super confusing. I've fixed it now and uploaded the pic in the correct place. Thanks for the insight!
