On the last day of the Queen’s tour of Canada in 2010, for example, she visited Queen’s Park, whose lawns around the legislature were packed with officials, media and citizens. And in the midst of the engagement, Premier Dalton McGuinty walked by the media, turned and with a broad grin plastered to his face, exclaimed, “I love her!”
