Subject: One other thing...
In reply to: Ronald Dykeman 's message, "Re: The Maple Throne" on 22:31:45 12/12/01 Wed

Dear Cyril,
One other thing I forgot to mention to you here, the word 'Dominion' was dropped from Canada's name as a legal designation in 1975. Since 1975 Canada has been called, simply, Canada, no long form legal designation. Not the 'Dominion of Canada', but simply Canada. Therefore, your use of the words '.., this Dominion' as a way to describe Canada is inaccurate, and his been for almost 27 years now.
Many Thanks,
Ronald Dykeman
