On this VICTORIA DAY, we are both amused . . . and not amused

<QUEEN ELIZABETH II, great-great-grand daughter of QUEEN VICTORIA, looks decidedly amused in this portrait by CHRISTOPHER WAHL, taken in WINNIPEG in 2002.  It’s part of a superb exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario – “Light My Fire”>

<QUEEN VICTORIA looks decidedly un-amused on the front page of today’s SUN.  There are plans afoot to rename Victoria Day>

And TORONTO’s mayor ROB FORD, isn’t amused by a front page story connecting him to crack cocaine smoking and drug dealers.  A man of few words, he says the whole thing is “ridiculous”.  For more on ROB-O, take a look at New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/05/rob-ford-crack-video-toronto-mayor.html
