Fredericton Lawyer Danny Watters is paid a home visit by the Pain in the Ass Blogger!!!!
34 years before legalization, New Brunswick's premier was tried for pot possession
Richard Hatfield's friend says he 'would have laughed' at legalization if he had lived to see it
As the New Brunswick government enters the legal marijuana business on Wednesday, it's a big about-face for a province that once saw its own premier tried for possession.
During a visit from Queen Elizabeth in 1984, the RCMP found a tiny bag of the marijuana while searching Premier Richard Hatfield's luggage before he joined her on a flight. He was never convicted, but his party lost every seat in the legislature in the next election.
The trial that followed made headlines around the world.
Michael Camp, the chair of the Journalism Department at St. Thomas University, was a friend of Hatfield's. He spoke to As It Happens host Carol Off about the late premier and what he might have thought about the Canada's decision to legalize marijuana.
Here is part of their conversation.
How big a story was it at the time that Richard Hatfield was on trial for having possession of marijuana?
It was huge. It was like a stun grenade went off across the province. Really, across Canada, this was a major, major scandal.
And so how was it handled by the media?
The first mention of it in the media was in The Daily Gleaner newspaper in Fredericton. And it just said a high-profile New Brunswick politician is the object of an RCMP inquiry into the discovery of a small quantity of narcotics.
But, at the time, given the kind of reputation that Hatfield already had, speculation fell to him almost right away.
It moved from being a rumour to speculation to confirmation in a fairly short period of time. And the feeling was that someone in the RCMP was keeping someone in the media informed of this.

Anne and New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield share a laugh during an
official greeting ceremony in Fredericton in 1986. (The Canadian Press)
The trial was a sensational one, wasn't it? First of all, the first judge was dismissed when he made these remarks that they have to treat Premier Hatfield differently. ... So he was dismissed as the judge, and then another judge was in place for the trial. Do you remember that trial?
It's unusual for a judge to talk about an upcoming case. But he went on the CBC morning program in Fredericton to discuss how he was going to handle it in very general terms.
He was trying not to reveal any kind of prejudice. But by saying that he felt that more privileged people should be punished more severely, the defence team on Hatfield's side was able to say we're not going to get a fair hearing.
Not only did [the second judge] dismiss [the case], this judge said he believed that the drugs were planted by a journalist. That was the suggestion, right?
What they were clearly trying to do was raise a reasonable doubt.
To me, it was an almost unbelievable scenario. I'm surprised that the defence team tried it. But what was even more surprising, even then, to people in New Brunswick, was that the judge fell for it.
And did Richard Hatfield smoke dope?
Of course he did. Whether he smoked dope in New Brunswick, I don't know. I never witnessed him smoking dope in New Brunswick. But he was a typical person of his time. I'm not going to make the argument that he was a perfect person.
But he was a very experimental kind of person. He also liked to live on the edge a little bit. He had a very lively private life, liked to party. They called him "Disco Dick" and all this stuff.
But he was not a serious drug user. Certainly not a big marijuana smoker. He was a drinker. That was his drug of choice, alcohol. But I think he was truly bewildered by this.
It's possible that he did it and then forgot about it, but I got the sense that he honestly believed, in his own mind, that this specific pot was not his own.
And he was about to get on a flight with the Queen, for goodness sake. You'd think he would think twice before you did that.
It's hard to believe that he thought that this would be a good idea — to pack a little pot on the trip.
I think what the pot trial did is change the perception of Richard Hatfield in the public mind so completely that whatever he might have accomplished in a positive sense is completely buried underneath a lot of allegations — proven, unproven— and some of the more serious allegations coming out after his death.
What would Richard Hatfield make of the fact that this province that was so scandalized by his possible possession of drugs is going to be home to provincial marijuana stores?
I think that there's a part of Richard that would have laughed at this. And I think that Hatfield felt the same indifference to the law that we feel today — that it was dumb idea to have the prohibition in the first place.
I think once he stopped laughing, he would say, "Finally, we're being straight with ourselves."

The premier and the pocketful of pot he said wasn't his
RCMP found a 35-gram bag of marijuana, but Richard Hatfield said he didn't know anything about it
There was marijuana in the luggage of the New Brunswick premier, but he said he didn't put it there.
"Premier Richard Hatfield of New Brunswick has admitted he's under investigation by the RCMP," said Knowlton Nash, leading off The National for Oct. 22, 1984.
"It's because the Mounties found some marijuana in his luggage."
The pot had been discovered while Hatfield was travelling with the Queen.
Pot on the royal plane
The
marijuana was said to have been discovered when Hatfield accompanied
Queen Elizabeth on a flight from Fredericton to Moncton. (The National/CBC Archives)Just under a month earlier, the Queen had been visiting the province during a trip to Canada that also took her to parts of Ontario and Manitoba.

"The Queen was leaving for a short flight to Moncton," explained reporter Jim Sunstrum. "The RCMP regularly search all luggage going on to the royal plane, and for this trip that included the luggage of premier Richard Hatfield."
The Mounties were looking for explosives.
"But, to their surprise, when they checked Hatfield's suitcase they found a bag of marijuana," said Sunstrum.
Rumours confirmed
The clicking of cameras was the only sound in the room as Hatfield held a press conference.
"Two days following the departure of Her Majesty the Queen ... two officials from the RCMP called on me and informed me that a package was found in a pocket on the outside pocket of my suitcase," said Hatfield.
"Following an analysis it was determined that package contained marijuana."
Hatfield explained that he had told the RCMP the marijuana didn't belong to him.
"Obviously, I do not know how it got there," he said.
Charges laid
New
Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield (left) reads a summons handed to him
by an RCMP officer, right, outside Fredericton city hall Friday, Oct.
26, 1984. A stash of marijuana was discovered in Hatfield’s suitcase as
it was about to be loaded on the royal plane. (Jann Van Horne/Canadian Press) Hatfield said no charges had been laid, but that he'd hired a lawyer to defend his reputation.
According to the Globe and Mail, he was served a summons four days later to appear in court on a charge of possession of marijuana.
Later that day, he announced he was continuing in his role as premier of New Brunswick, a position he had held for 14 years.
Hatfield was found not guilty of the charge on Jan. 29, 1985.
In rendering his decision, the judge in the case speculated aloud that a member of the press had planted the 35-gram bag of marijuana to create "the juiciest story ever to crack the media," according to the Globe and Mail.

King's Counsel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Queen's Counsel)
Not to be confused with Privy council or Law officers of the Crown.
"Queen's Counsel" redirects here. For the satire in The Times, see
Queen's Counsel (comic strip).
A 1903 caricature of King's Counsel Robert McCall wearing his court
robes at the Bar of England and Wales. For court, he wears a short
wig, and bands instead of lace at the collar, but he retains the silk
gown and court tailcoat worn on ceremonial occasions
In the United Kingdom and in some Commonwealth countries, a King's
Counsel (post-nominal initials KC) during the reign of a king, or
Queen's Counsel (post-nominal initials QC) during the reign of a
queen, is a lawyer (usually a barrister or advocate) who is typically
a senior trial lawyer. Technically, they are appointed by the monarch
of the country to be one of 'His [Her] Majesty's Counsel learned in
the law'. The position originated in England. Some Commonwealth
countries have either abolished the position, or renamed it so as to
remove monarchical connotations, for example, 'Senior counsel' or
'Senior Advocate'.
King's Counsel is an office, conferred by the Crown, that is
recognised by courts. Members have the privilege of sitting within the
inner bar of court. The term is recognised as an honorific. As members
wear silk gowns of a particular design (see court dress), appointment
as King's Counsel is known informally as receiving, obtaining, or
taking silk and KCs are often colloquially called silks.[1]
Appointments are made from within the legal profession on the basis of
merit rather than a particular level of experience. However,
successful applicants tend to be barristers, or (in Scotland)
advocates with 15 years of experience or more.
How Canada's legal system will need to adapt to the Queen's death
The Supreme Court of Canada is pictured in Ottawa on Tuesday Sept. 6, 2022. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick)
Like Canadian stamps and currency, Canada's legal system will need to adapt to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and King Charles III's ascension to the British throne.
Those changes will affect how criminal cases are named, as well as the oaths or affirmations of allegiance new lawmakers, court justices and others are required to make to the Canadian monarch.
"It really is a series of formalities," Allan Hutchinson, a legal theorist and law professor at York University, told CTVNews.ca. "But it's going to be necessary to make some very small changes in terms of wording in court documents, of oaths, things like that."
COURT CASES
The prosecuting party in Canadian criminal proceedings is "Her Majesty the Queen," or the Crown. In case titles, "Her Majesty the Queen" has been shortened to "The Queen" or just the letter "R" which represents the Latin word for queen, regina; for example, R. v. Smith.
Following the Queen's death, court cases involving the Canadian government will now need to refer to "His Majesty the King." The "R" however can stay, as the Latin word for king is rex.
"Criminal prosecutions are undertaken in the name of the Crown, the head of state," David Schneiderman, a professor of law and political science at the University of Toronto, told CTVNews.ca. "So that's all that that means; it's just a symbolic placeholder for us."
OATH OF ALLEGIANCE
Oaths or affirmations of allegiance to the monarchy are legally required for lawmakers like senators and members of Parliament, federal and provincial justices, lawyers in many provinces and territories, and others like new citizens and members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
Canada's Oath of Allegiances Act clearly states that if "there is a demise of the Crown, there shall be substituted in the oath of allegiance the name of the Sovereign for the time being." That means Canada's Oath of Allegiance will now begin with the words: "I, [NAME], do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third."
"The wording will have to change," Hutchinson explained. "But those who did swear allegiance to Queen Elizabeth are not going to have to all redo it again."
A SEAMLESS TRANSITION
There will also be name changes on government documents and legal contracts. Manitoba Courts has already announced that the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba will now be the Court of King's Bench of Manitoba.
Both Hutchinson and Schneiderman expect these wording changes to be simple and seamless.
"The Government of Canada, and probably provincial governments, will take steps pretty soon to do that," Schneiderman said. "But, you know, those are changes that aren't absolutely necessary, because the Queen and her heirs serve as Crown in Canada, and the Crown is the head of state and the Crown continues to live, whoever occupies the office."
"Those are all very much formalities, superficial," Hutchinson added. "The personification of the Crown has changed, but the nature of the Crown has not changed at all."

Accession of King Charles proclaimed at Fredericton ceremony
The traditional ceremony was held at 2 p.m. on Saturday
Premier Blaine Higgs, senior government officials, Wolastoqi Elder Imelda Perley and the Most Rev. David Edwards participated in the ceremony.
A ceremonial 21-gun salute took place at the end of the events, with blanks being used by military members.
On Sept. 8, Canada's head of state, Queen Elizabeth, died. She was 96. After her death, King Charles automatically became the sovereign of Canada.
But it is tradition for a proclamation of accession ceremony to be held when a new sovereign inherits the throne. Higgs said New Brunswick followed the protocol of holding the proclamation within two days of the Queen's death.

Earlier today, Gov. Gen. Mary Simon met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet at Rideau Hall in Ottawa to sign an order in council and a proclamation of accession that officially announced the Queen's death and proclaimed King Charles as Canada's new monarch.
With the accession issued, lieutenant-governors across Canada hold similar ceremonies to the one in Ottawa in their capital cities.
Murphy was brought forward to read the proclamation in Fredericton and sign it along with the attorney general.
When speaking with reporters after the ceremony, Higgs said he was saddened by the loss of the Queen.

"I think there's not many figures in public life that after 70 years leave with such dignity and brought such stability to everywhere she went and everyone she met," he said.

Higgs said Queen Elizabeth provided consistency worldwide during her reign that "goes beyond our individual views to a collective view of the greater good." He said he hopes that "consistency of purpose" is carried on.
Books of condolence for the former Queen will remain at Government House for the next eight days for members of the public to sign.

Canadians come up with new $20 bill designs to replace Queen Elizabeth II
The passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the upcoming coronation of King Charles III are fast becoming the hottest news story of 2022, bringing the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations into a new monarchical era with sweeping changes on the horizon.
This accession to the British throne will have some very noticeable effects across the ocean in Canada, including new designs for our coins and banknotes depicting the large-eared visage of the newly-crowned King Charles III.
Currently, all of The Royal Canadian Mint's production coins, as well as The Bank of Canada's $20 banknotes in circulation, bear the face of the newly-departed Queen. But before either has the chance to mint or print new currency, Canadians are coming up with their own unique designs for our future money.
Some aren't happy about the idea of King Charles III gracing the country's iconic green $20 bills, with one Twitter user showing off a comical prediction of what a Charles-faced banknote might look like.

Lisa LaFlamme joins CityNews after high-profile ousting from Bell Media
Fallout over the firing of former CTV National News anchor Lisa LaFlamme has circled the globe, and now, the respected journalist has had the last laugh, taking on a position with a competing network as the Bell Media empire that ousted her continues its course of damage control.
CityNews announced Friday morning that LaFlamme has taken a position as a special correspondent to the network and will be leading coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's passing, including the mourning period, funeral, and transition to King Charles III, live from London.
The network states that LaFlamme "will provide daily reporting for all newscasts on television and radio as well as make regular appearances on Breakfast Television."
"The Queen is the only monarch most of us have ever known. We grew up with Her Majesty and mourn the passing of this remarkable and inspiring woman," said Lisa LaFlamme.
"As this second Elizabethan era comes to an end, I can only say how truly honoured I am to help tell the story of her life and the legacy she leaves."
Colette Watson, President, Rogers Sports and Media, said that "News coverage of such a pivotal moment in history is integral to achieving our mission of keeping Canadians connected and informed, and Lisa LaFlamme's incredible talent and wealth of experience are befitting of an event of this magnitude."
CityNews' latest acquisition comes amid a continued media firestorm over LaFlamme's controversial firing that has been met with public outrage, petitions to reinstate the former anchor, and even media attention from U.S. and world news outlets.
The news is still fresh, but comments are already pouring in supporting CityNews and parent company Rogers (yes, people are pleased with Rogers right now) for taking on LaFlamme.

CityNews hires Lisa LaFlamme as special correspondent
Recently ousted CTV chief anchor will be in London covering Queen Elizabeth's legacy
CityNews has announced it has hired veteran news anchor Lisa LaFlamme as a special correspondent to lead its coverage of the death and legacy of Queen Elizabeth.
LaFlamme became the subject of headlines across the country last month when she was fired from her job as chief news anchor for CTV National News. The move prompted widespread speculation about whether LaFlamme had been fired for political reasons or if she had been a victim of ageism in the workplace.
CTV said the decision to end LaFlamme's contract was due to "changing viewer habits." Bell Media, which owns CTV, later said it regretted the way in which LaFlamme's departure was handled, and the company announced it would initiate a third-party internal workplace review of its newsroom.
CAJ raises concerns over editorial interference at CTV National News
LaFlamme's new employer, CityNews, said she will travel to London to
provide daily television and radio reporting on the legacy of Queen
Elizabeth and the transition to the reign of King Charles, and will lead
live coverage of the Queen's funeral.
"The Queen is the only monarch most of us have ever known. We grew up with Her Majesty and mourn the passing of this remarkable and inspiring woman," said LaFlamme in a statement released by CityNews.
"As this second Elizabethan era comes to an end, I can only say how truly honoured I am to help tell the story of her life and the legacy she leaves."
Rogers Sports and Media, the parent company of CityNews, said LaFlamme's reporting will be made available on all of its platforms.
"News coverage of such a pivotal moment in history is integral to achieving our mission of keeping Canadians connected and informed, and Lisa LaFlamme's incredible talent and wealth of experience are befitting of an event of this magnitude," said Rogers President Colette Watson.

Queen Elizabeth has died. What happens now?
Protocols and procedures will be followed, but much is left to prime minister's discretion
The death of Queen Elizabeth has triggered Operation London Bridge — the step-by-step plan for how the British government deals with her passing — and Operation Unicorn, the plan created in case the monarch died while in Scotland.
But the Canadian government will also follow a detailed set of protocols and procedures.
Ottawa has kept its plan for the death of the Queen under wraps. But it's likely that the government, to some extent, will be relying on the Manual of Official Procedure of the Government of Canada, which was produced by the Privy Council Office in 1968.
However, much is left to the discretion of the prime minister as to how some events over the next few days will unfold.
How is the death officially announced in Canada?
The Governor General announces the Queen's death and the accession of a new sovereign in a proclamation that is published in the Canada Gazette, the official newspaper of the government, according to Nathan Tidridge, who wrote a backgrounder about the death of the reigning monarch for the Institute for the Study of the Crown in Canada.
According to protocol, after the death of the Queen, the Governor General and lieutenant-governors would make statements of condolence. The prime minister and other members of the federal, provincial and territorial governments would then make their own statements.
The House of Commons is currently adjourned for the summer and it is not scheduled to reconvene until Sept. 19. However, protocol states the prime minister should reconvene Parliament and move a joint address of loyalty and sympathy, and any message of condolence. The prime minister will also arrange for the motions to be seconded by the Leader of the Opposition.

protocol, Governor General Mary Simon announced the Queen's death. She

The prime minister may also move to adjourn the House as "a gesture of respect," according to the Manual of Official Procedure of the Government of Canada.
By contrast, Parliament had been prorogued when King George VI died on Feb. 6, 1952, and tributes were offered when Parliament returned on Feb. 28.

Meanwhile, the Governor General and the prime minister will send personal messages to King Charles and members of the royal family.
With the death of the Queen, what's the status of the monarchy in Canada?
The death of Queen Elizabeth means that Prince Charles automatically becomes King of Canada. That is officially announced through an accession proclamation issued by the Governor General on the advice of the federal Privy Council Office, according to Canada's Deep Crown, co-authored by David E. Smith, Christopher McCreery and Jonathan Shanks.

state upon the death of his mother. He is pictured during the State
Opening of Parliament in London on Dec. 19, 2019. (Leon Neal/AFP/Getty Images)
The Associated Press reported Thursday that royal officials have indicated the new monarch will be known as King Charles III.
How does the Queen's death affect the Canadian government? Do new oaths to the new King have to be taken in Canada?
The succession of King Charles is instantaneous and automatic and does not require any special action by the Canadian government, Tidridge wrote.
Historically, the death of the monarch would have several effects on the operations of the Canadian government, according to Canada's Deep Crown. Parliament would dissolve, while any legal proceedings involving the Crown would terminate. But legislation has changed all that.
For example, the 1985 Parliament of Canada Act provides that Parliament shall carry on "in the same manner as if that demise had not happened," according to Canada's Deep Crown.
As well, the 1985 federal Interpretation Act provides that "the demise does not affect the holding of any office under the Crown in right of Canada" and that all legal proceedings involving the Crown continue "as though there had been no such demise," the book's authors wrote.

allegiance to King Charles during their citizenship ceremonies. (Stephen Lubig/CBC)
Federal parliamentarians in both the House of Commons and the Senate and members of provincial and territorial legislative assemblies do not need to take a new oath, Tidridge wrote.
Officers of the Crown, such as civil servants and judges, are not required in most cases to swear the oath of allegiance again or to be reappointed, but there are exceptions in some offices in the provinces of Ontario and Prince Edward Island, he wrote.
Future new citizens will have to swear allegiance to King Charles instead of the Queen during their citizenship ceremonies. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada did not immediately respond to questions about how quickly the oath would be changed following the Queen's death.
Was there a potential issue with Quebec's status in the event of the Queen's death?
With the Queen advancing in years, there had been concerns that Quebec could find itself in kind of a legal limbo following her death. In 1982, the government of Premier René Lévesque removed a section of the law governing the National Assembly that dealt with the monarchy.
But that section also noted that the legislature could not be dissolved in the event of the death of the sovereign. There was concern from provincial government lawyers that that would mean the death of the Queen could trigger the provincial government to be dissolved, and that any laws passed after her death could be challenged. In June 2021, a new bill was passed to ensure the government will continue to run in the event of the Queen's death.
Is there an official mourning period in Canada?
Yes. In the United Kingdom, the Queen's death will trigger an official 12-day period of national mourning. However, Canada isn't likely to officially mourn for the same length of time. Much of how Canada officially mourns the Queen will be up to the current government.
At some point, according to the Manual of Official Procedure of the Government of Canada, the government will issue a declaration regarding the period of official mourning.
Portraits of the Queen, as well as flags displayed indoors, could be draped with black ribbon, while Canadian flags across the country will be flown at half-mast, Tidridge wrote.

Those working in the vice-regal, military and parliamentary world will be issued with some combination of black ties and black armbands for use during the mourning period, according to Canada's Deep Crown.
Condolence books may be made available for Canadians to sign across the country, including at vice-regal residences and offices. There may also be online condolence books, Tidridge wrote.
Will there be a national memorial in Canada for the Queen? If so, is it a national holiday?
The prime minister consults with cabinet about whether Canada will hold a national memorial service for the Queen.
However, this decision may have been made prior to the Queen's death, along with whether such a service would be held the same day as the Queen's funeral in the U.K., according to the manual.
An order in council will have to have been passed to proclaim that day a national day of mourning and a national holiday.
If a national memorial is to take place, it's likely it will be carried out at Christ Church Anglican Cathedral in Ottawa, according to Canada's Deep Crown.

"An innovation which is certain to be included along with the standard civil and military involvement will be the integration of Indigenous observances such as smudging, drumming and throat singing," the authors of Canada's Deep Crown wrote.
"Given the enhanced connection between the Canadian Crown and Indigenous peoples, which has been fostered by the vice-regal family, and the special connection to the person of the sovereign, this will be a natural and expected augmentation."
It's also likely that memorial services will be held in provinces and territories across the country.
Does the Queen's name and image have to be replaced in Canada?
The image and name of King Charles will gradually be incorporated into Canadian society, but currency, passports or any other government documents that contain the Queen's image will not be invalidated, Tidridge wrote.
But eventually, the effigy on coins and bank notes will change, as will the text in the front of passports, on citizenship certificates, civil and military commissions and the oath of allegiance. All that will be updated to reflect the transition to a new sovereign, according to Canada's Deep Crown.

replaced by an image of King Charles, as will the text in the front of
passports, on citizenship certificates, civil and military commissions
and the oath of allegiance. (Royal Canadian Mint/CBC)
In the near future, there will be the adoption of a new formal title for the King in Canada, along with a new Great Seal of Canada, which is imprinted on important Canadian documents. Also, there will be a new personal Canadian flag for the King.
Other changes will include replacing the word Queen with the word King in such instances as the Queen's Council for Canada, the Court of the Queen's Bench or the singing of God Save the Queen.
However, overall, the legal changes in Canada will be minimal, Tidridge wrote. Under provisions of federal and provincial Interpretation Acts, any statutory references to "the Queen" and "Her Majesty" can be construed as or changed to "the King" and "His Majesty" in the course of future legislation, he wrote.
Does this mean the image of King Charles will be on the $20 bill and other Canadian coins?
Not necessarily, said Phillipe Lagassé, an associate professor and expert in the Westminster parliamentary system at Carleton University in Ottawa.
As Lagassé points out, there's no legal requirement that a monarch's image be embedded on Canada's stamps or currency.
"I'm not at all convinced that they're going to keep the monarch on the [$20 bill]," he said.''

Elizabeth's image appears on Canada's $20 bank note. It is unclear
whether or when her image might be replaced, or by whom. (Christine Davies/CBC)
Officials may not automatically decide to put a "70-something British man on the money," he said, in light of broader discussions on equity and diversity.
"I would find it tough to think that [they] would just go ahead full bore saying 'Charles it is, we're not even going to talk about this, we're just going to do it,'" he said.
"I don't think it's as automatic as some of the monarchists think and hope it will be," he said.
But Lagassé did say officials may decide to stick with the sovereign's image for all the coins, as "it becomes tough as to who do you pick to replace it."

'I will miss her so': Trudeau mourns the death of Canada's Queen
'She was one of my favourite people in the world,' Trudeau says of Queen Elizabeth
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a solemn statement Thursday shortly after Queen Elizabeth's death, saying Canadians are grateful for the monarch's decades of service to the country and the Commonwealth.
"It was with the heaviest of hearts that we learned of the passing of Canada's longest-reigning sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant presence in our lives — and her service to Canadians will forever remain an important part of our country's history," Trudeau said in a tweet.
Speaking later at a cabinet retreat in Vancouver, a tearful Trudeau said he's struggling to come to terms with the Queen's death.
"I'm having trouble believing that my last sit-down with her was my last," Trudeau said, referring to his March 2022 meeting at Windsor Castle. Trudeau was the Queen's first audience after she recovered from COVID — a sign, some palace-watchers said, of the affection the Queen had for the prime minister.
"I will so miss those chats," Trudeau said.

Trudeau, the Queen's 12th Canadian prime minister, said the monarch was "thoughtful, wise, curious, helpful, funny and so much more."
"In a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort and strength to us all. Canada is in mourning," he added.
"She was one of my favourite people in the world and I will miss her so."
WATCH: Trudeau reacts to passing of Queen Elizabeth
The Queen's death was announced around 1:30 p.m. Ottawa time. She was Canada's longest-serving monarch and Queen for nearly half of the country's existence, having served more than 25,000 days on the throne.
While she was head of state of many countries during her reign, the Queen had an especially close personal connection with Canada, a place she repeatedly referred to as "home" while in Canada and abroad.
She made 22 official visits to the country, visiting every province and territory.
During her last visit in 2010, the Queen told then-prime minister Stephen Harper that her mother "once said that this country felt like a home away from home for the Queen of Canada. Prime minister, I am pleased to report that it still does."
When visiting Canada for Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2002, the Queen said she treasured her place "in the life of Canada and my bond with Canadians everywhere."
"It is my privilege to serve you as Queen of Canada to the best of my ability, to play my part in the Canadian identity, to uphold Canadian traditions and heritage," she said.
WATCH: The Queen in Canada
Trudeau said Canadians will long remember that bond.
"As we look back at her life and her reign that spanned so many decades, Canadians will always remember and cherish Her Majesty's wisdom, compassion and warmth. Our thoughts are with the members of the Royal Family during this most difficult time," Trudeau said.
Governor General Mary Simon also expressed her grief and said it was a profound honour to have met the Queen when she was appointed to be her representative.
"When I was growing up, my grandmother revered The Queen, as did so many in the Arctic. She would tell us stories about Her Majesty, about her role and her commitment," she said. "Her Majesty's warm welcome when we spent time with her earlier this year was a profound moment in our lives and a memory we will cherish forever."

Interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen also issued a statement Thursday, expressing the party's "deepest condolences to the Royal Family."
Bergen said that, as citizens of "a proud Commonwealth country," Canadians are experiencing "unspeakable sadness."
"Her Majesty's sense of duty to Canada was both deeply held and demonstrated in her actions. As Queen of Canada, she was not only a witness to our historical evolution as a modern, confident, and self-assured nation — she was an active participant," Bergen said.
Recalling the Queen signing the Constitution Act in 1982, Bergen said Canada started "a new era ... as a fully self-governing nation" on her watch while still maintaining "strong ties to the history that made us who we are."
"While our country has been cast into mourning, our thoughts are with her entire family, and especially to His Majesty, Charles. Long may he reign," Bergen said.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh — who has argued Canada should be a republic and that he doesn't see the "relevance" of the monarchy in the 21st century — said Thursday the Queen lived "a life of history and duty."
"She was also a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. My thoughts today are for her family who have lost a pillar of strength in their lives," Singh said in a statement.
"Like many people around the world and in Canada, my thoughts are with Queen Elizabeth II and members of the Royal Family during this difficult time."
Speaking later from Halifax, Singh said her decades-long reign represented "stability" and that her loss would be keenly felt.

Royal Family members 'mourn profoundly' the death of mother and monarch Queen Elizabeth
Long-serving monarch died Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland
The Royal Family is mourning the loss of Queen Elizabeth, after announcing Thursday that the long-serving monarch had died at age 96.
"The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family," the Queen's son Charles, who automatically became king upon her death, said in a statement released Thursday.
"We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.
"During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."

Senior members of the royal family had rushed to Scotland earlier Thursday to be with the Queen, after Buckingham Palace announced that she was under medical supervision with doctors "concerned for Her Majesty's health."
The palace said she was "comfortable" and remained at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, where she had spent the summer.

Charles, along with his wife, Camilla, and sister, Princess Anne, were already with the Queen at Balmoral Castle ahead of Thursday's announcement about her health.
A fleet of cars carrying Prince William, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, arrived at Balmoral Castle about 5 p.m. local time, about an hour after a plane carrying the royal party arrived at Aberdeen Airport.
Prince Harry, who was due to appear at a charity awards ceremony in London later Thursday, cancelled that appearance and was making his way to Scotland separately. He was travelling without his wife Meghan, PA Media reported.

The announcement about the Queen's health came a day after the Queen had cancelled a meeting of her Privy Council and was told to rest.
The Privy Council, a group of the monarch's senior advisers, was due to formally swear in Britain's Prime Minister Liz Truss and her new Cabinet members at Wednesday's meeting. The session will be held at a later date.
The Queen, Britain's longest-reigning sovereign, had been suffering from what Buckingham Palace had called "episodic mobility problems" since the end of last year.

Party to become prime minister and form a new government, on Tuesday. (Jane Barlow/The Associated Press)
Last October, she spent a night in hospital, and she had been forced to cut back on public engagements after that.
Concern from world leaders
Prior to the news of the Queen's death, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had tweeted that his thoughts "and the thoughts of Canadians across the country" were with the monarch.
Truss, who was interrupted during a debate in the House of Commons to be informed about the Queen's condition, said on Twitter that the whole country was "deeply concerned".
"My thoughts — and the thoughts of people across our United Kingdom — are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time," she wrote.

The White House said U.S. President Joe Biden had been briefed about the situation with the Queen.
"His and the first lady's thoughts are solidly and squarely with the Queen today and her family," White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters, earlier Thursday.
Britain's Parliament has Queen Elizabeth in its thoughts and prayers, Speaker Lindsay Hoyle said.
Those sentiments were echoed by the first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon.
"Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon," said British opposition Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer.
Elizabeth marked seven decades on the throne this year. She increasingly handed over duties to Charles and other members of the Royal Family in recent months as she struggled to get around.
Crowds outside Buckingham Palace
Hundreds of well wishers stood in the rain outside Buckingham Palace, some bringing flowers, as concern over the Queen's health grew.
"I work close by and I heard on the news about Her Majesty's failing health, so I was concerned and it led me to come to Buckingham Palace, to be at the heart of the monarchy," said Alexander Caplan, 40, a technology entrepreneur in London.
Elizabeth had been Queen of Britain and more than a dozen other countries — including Canada, Australia and New Zealand — since 1952. Earlier this year, she marked her 70th year on the throne with four days of national celebrations in June.
"I have been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope this renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come," she said at the time.
Elizabeth came to the throne after the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952, when she was just 25.
She was crowned in June the following year. The first televised coronation was a foretaste of a new world in which the lives of the royals were to become increasingly scrutinized by the media.

She became monarch at a time when Britain retained much of its empire. It was emerging from the ravages of the Second World War, with food rationing still in force and class and privilege still dominant in society.
Winston Churchill was the first prime minister who served during her reign, Joseph Stalin was leader of the Soviet Union, and the Korean War was raging.

Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state, dead at 96
Queen had been under medical supervision at Balmoral Castle in Scotland
Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state and the longest-reigning British monarch, has died. She was 96.
She died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Buckingham Palace said in a short statement.
"The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow," the palace said, in reference to the Queen's son Charles, who automatically became king upon her death, and his wife, Camilla.
In a separate statement, King Charles called his mother's death "a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family."
"I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world. During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held."
Charles's estate, Clarence House, confirmed his title was now King Charles III.

Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, at the relatively tender age of 25, and presided over the country and the Commonwealth, including Canada, for seven decades. Those 70 years as monarch were recognized during this year's Platinum Jubilee events, which reached their height in London in early June.
In her time as monarch, Elizabeth bore witness to profound changes at home and abroad, including the decline of the British Empire and decolonization of many African and Caribbean countries, along with the end of hostilities with Irish republicans.
As one of the most famous women in the world, she was also under great public scrutiny during some of the most painful moments of her life, including the death of her father, King George VI, the marriage breakups of three of her four children and the death of her former daughter-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales.

But Elizabeth always had a keen sense of her role.
"I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice," she said during her first televised Christmas address in 1957. "But I can do something else: I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations."
That sense of duty was central to her life, even before she ascended the throne. In a speech broadcast from Cape Town, South Africa, on her 21st birthday in 1947, she made that clear.
"I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong," she said.
The path to the throne
Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born in London on April 21, 1926, the first child to Prince Albert and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the Duke and Duchess of York. At the time of her birth, Elizabeth stood third in line of succession to the throne and was not expected to become monarch.
But that changed when her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 in order to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth's father became King George VI, making Elizabeth the presumptive heir.
It was around this time that Elizabeth met her future husband, Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark.
Their wedding at London's Westminster Abbey in 1947 was a grand event that helped lift the spirits of the British public at a time when it was still reeling from the destruction of the Second World War and the rationing that followed the end of the conflict.
The couple's first child, Prince Charles, was born in 1948 and the second, Princess Anne, arrived two years later. (Another two children, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, were born in 1960 and 1964, and the family has now grown to include eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.)
King George VI died in 1952, at which point Elizabeth became Queen as well as head of the Church of England and the Commonwealth.
Although her grandmother, Queen Mary, died in February 1953, Elizabeth's coronation went ahead that June. It was a lavish spectacle, and in a significant first, was televised worldwide to an audience estimated at 277 million.

The role of a queen
Because
Britain has a constitutional monarchy, the King or Queen is head of
state but has no ability to make or pass legislation.
Throughout
her reign, Elizabeth had a weekly audience with the British prime
minister. While the substance of these discussions remains confidential,
it is thought that it was an opportunity for the sitting prime minister
to solicit her advice.
Elizabeth refused to be drawn into
policy debates in public, but over the years, the British media
sometimes alleged differences of opinion between her and the prime
minister of the day.

For example, there were reports that Elizabeth was concerned about the anti-strike measures and reduction of social programs under Margaret Thatcher, who was prime minister from 1979 until 1990.
As much as
Queen Elizabeth kept her distance from politics, there were times she
let her views be known — or appeared to. For example, she favoured
sanctions against South Africa in the 1980s, former Canadian prime
minister Brian Mulroney has said.
And in the days leading to
the Scottish referendum in 2014, there was much attention focused on her
saying that she hoped people would think "very carefully about the
future." At the time, Buckingham Palace said the Queen "maintains her
constitutional impartiality. As the Queen has always said, this is a
matter for the people of Scotland."
While Elizabeth remained
largely apolitical, countless trips abroad made her something of a royal
diplomat. In addition to more than 20 visits to Canada, Elizabeth spoke
to the United Nations General Assembly, the U.S. Congress and met
several popes.
Arguably her most significant diplomatic mission was closer to home. In 2012, she visited Belfast, Northern Ireland, where she shook the hand of Martin McGuinness, a one-time commander with the Irish Republican Army and at the time the deputy first minister of Northern Ireland.
The meeting, although brief, was seen by many as a key moment of reconciliation between Britain and Irish republicans.
Elizabeth has "been astonishingly effective as a diplomat and as a statesperson," Ninian Mellamphy, a professor emeritus at Western University in London, Ont., and a longtime royal watcher, said at the time.
Largely inscrutable
Renowned
as much for her composure as the colourful clothing she wore to make
sure she could be seen in a crowd, Elizabeth rarely showed her true
emotions in public. As a result, she was seen by many as a symbol of
British resilience.
Even so, she had her dark years,
particularly 1992, which she called her own "annus horribilis." That
year, among other events, the marriages of three of her four children
crumbled, a tell-all book about Diana was published and a fire
devastated part of Windsor Castle, a royal residence she particularly
favoured.

Diana divorced Prince Charles in 1996, and a year later, she died after a car crash in Paris. Elizabeth was heavily criticized for not responding publicly immediately following Diana's death, but days later she delivered a heartfelt speech on TV in which she expressed admiration for her former daughter-in-law.
As recognizable and high-profile as Elizabeth was, however, she remained in many ways an elusive personality. She was known for her sense of humour and dry wit, but didn't do interviews and her personal views never got a public airing.
Certain interests seemed apparent — whether it was her love of horses or devotion to the corgis that would run up airplane steps with her.
There was also the sense she was a frugal Queen who ran a tight ship, one who reportedly kept her cereal in Tupperware containers and made sure lights were turned off in the regal palaces she called home.

In her later years, she became an object of fascination for screenwriters and playwrights, most notably Peter Morgan, who tried to capture the inner life of Britain's longest-serving monarch.
Celebrated actor Helen Mirren won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Elizabeth in the 2006 film The Queen, and also starred in the stage play The Audience, about her weekly meetings with the prime minister.
Netflix is also producing The Crown, a series created by Morgan that explores her reign.
Despite public debates about the necessity and future of the monarchy, Elizabeth remained a highly popular figure among Britons until her death.
In 2020, she was praised for offering a sense of calm strength and reassurance as the coronavirus pandemic continued. Her strong sense of duty was on display particularly as she urged resilience early in the pandemic through a rare televised address. She also found herself carrying out her role in new ways as she took part in virtual events.
Philip, who was the longest-serving consort to a monarch, died on April 9, 2021. At Philip's funeral on April 17, 2021, Elizabeth led a small group of family members as pandemic restrictions at the time meant the funeral service was limited to 30 people. She sat alone, wearing a mask, at the front of St. George's Chapel before his casket was lowered into the royal vault.

Health concerns arose after she was in hospital overnight for what were described as "preliminary investigations" in October 2021. Following advice from doctors to rest for at least two weeks, she continued to undertake light duties from her home at Windsor Castle.
She also carried out several engagements virtually, but missed high-profile public events such as Remembrance Sunday.
In early February 2022, Elizabeth marked 70 years on the throne, an unprecedented milestone for a British monarch and the official beginning of her Platinum Jubilee.
Later that month, Buckingham Palace announced she had tested positive for COVID-19. She recovered and continued to carry out virtual engagements, along with a few in-person meetings, including with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Gov. Gen. Mary Simon at Windsor Castle.
While Platinum Jubilee events continued largely without her public presence, she did appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at the beginning and end of the celebrations in early June.
"While I may not have attended every event in person, my heart has been with you all and I remain committed to serving you to the best of my ability, supported by my family," she said in a message as the Jubilee events concluded.
"I have been inspired by the kindness, joy and kinship that has been so evident in recent days, and I hope the renewed sense of togetherness will be felt for many years to come."

several times since, now towers over the monarch he first met as a child
