Canada was abuzz with excitement on this date in 1911 after the announcement that one of Queen Victoria’s sons, the Duke of Connaught, would be our next Governor General.
“I much regret that if the various recommendations which have been repeatedly sent in are not acted on, I shall feel it my duty to draw the Home Government’s attention to the situation which has arisen though the persistent neglect of the Canadian government to carry out the recommendation and requests forwarded to them …. exposing the Empire to a real and serious danger,” the Duke thundered in one letter sent to Borden in 1916.
“Without stopping to comment on the unusual character of the expressions in this portion of Your Royal Highnesses letter, I have the honour and I conceive it my duty to request that Your Royal Highness will make me acquainted with the recommendations and requests from the Home Government …. which have not been acted upon or which have been discarded,” Borden fired back.
