Canada asks Charles and Camilla not to visit

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin said he urged Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, not to visit in November or risk becoming embroiled in a possible federal election.

...

Martin's minority government narrowly survived a series of confidence votes in May with the support of a handful of independent lawmakers and members of the New Democratic Party as Britain's
Queen Elizabeth II toured the western provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The monarch was told then she might have to end her trip abruptly if an election was called.

they might ruin the election for the liberals. which is odd that they of all people would potentially ruin it for them. besides all that, isn't the queen still the figurehead of canada? she's still on all the coins and some bills right?

very very odd the perspective martin took on this issue.

Too bad we couldn't keep them out the U.S. too
