The Monarchist goes Mainstream
An email from Ottawa Citizen columnist, Margret Kopala, alerting us that she was going to use excerpts from Walsingham's "Tipping Point" in her weekly column to exhort Stephen Harper away from the summer barbecue circuit to focus on policy instead, sure would have been nice. Otherwise, we may never even have noticed (hat tip to Catesby for giving us the heads up and clipping this one for us) that this blog was noticed in the mainstream media last weekend. Cuz, good Lordy: Here be serious boasting rights.
If only she actually mentioned this blog, though. I mean, how are readers supposed to get the full article and context of Walsingham's message if not so much as a website address back to the original source is included? In any event, we are very pleased that the man's intellect and "seminal essay" is garnering the attention it deserves; and now on the newspaper pages of the nation's capital no less. I suppose if there is one city in this country that would be directly affected by his message, it would be Ottawa. The ergo simplicity of no Canada, no Ottawa, focusses the mind more acutely over there, compared to say Calgary or Vancouver.
And let that be this blog's goal: to get noticed. Across the Crown Commonwealth. To be written up in places like the New Zealand Herald, The Australian and The Daily Telegraph. Why the hell not? We have some really smart people onboard already: time to branch out. Getting Pitt the Younger onboard from Kiwi Down Under (check out his very Godly writings on culture at Home, Throne and Altar...that is one smart cookie down there) made me realize that we need to broaden our perspective. We also have Cato the Younger (heard of him?) who will be joining us from London and the Tory countryside of Shropshire when over there. We need more of them from England, Scotland and Wales. We need Aussies. We need united empire loyalists who love freedom and tradition; who despise modernism and wish to preserve good stuff like monarchy. Let's cut away the borders and embrace our common culture.
BTW, if you want to see Madam Kopala's article, you're going to have to wait until she publishes it on her personal website alongside her other newspaper columns. It appears that she doesn't post it online until a couple of weeks have elapsed after it was published in the paper.
Update: The Ottawa Citizen article (June 18, 2005) can now be found here.
