Thanks for watching. Rideau Hall has its own unique charm and history, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely an interesting place with lots of stories to tell. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

That's an insightful observation! It's true, the Canadian Guards do have some unique aspects compared to their UK counterparts. And yes, Canadian Guardsmen, including those from Québec, have indeed served guard duties in London, which has been a great honor. The presence of the Mounties at Horseguards is another fantastic example of the rich cultural exchange and mutual respect between the two countries. It's wonderful to hear how much their participation was appreciated. Thanks for sharing this great information!

The difference in the way they hold their arms is due to the different rifles they use (or more specifically, a bullpup vs standard rifle). If you look up footage of British Guards before the 1980s, when they still used a standard style rifle instead of a bullpup, they would hold their arms the same way you see the Canadian guards do now. Basically when the Brits adopted the bullpup, they had to adjust the way they held their rifles, as a bullpup doesn't exactly conform to the standard way of holding a standard rifle.

@@WintSong Thanks for sharing that insightful detail! It's fascinating to learn how the changes in equipment have influenced ceremonial traditions over time. Your knowledge adds so much depth to understanding the nuances of these traditions. Appreciate you taking the time to explain this!

Glad to hear you've heard good things. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for sharing that the train is real and that it actually used to ride around the town.

Yea

Thank you for watching! I really enjoyed exploring your hometown and sharing its beauty with everyone. It's a wonderful place with so much to offer. Thanks for your warm welcome in the comments!

Exactly right! Rideau Hall is the official home for both the Canadian Monarch and the Governor General. Thanks for pointing that out!

Awesome to hear you're so close to St. Raphael's! It must be pretty cool to catch concerts in a place like that. Thanks for dropping this info. If you've got any must-see events or fun stories from there, definitely let me know!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! The guards' uniforms are indeed inspired by British military traditions, reflecting Canada's historical ties with the UK. However, Canada also has its own unique heritage and symbols, including distinct military uniforms used in other contexts. The choice of attire for certain ceremonies is a nod to history, but it doesn't diminish Canada's rich and diverse culture. I appreciate your perspective and hope you'll find other aspects of Canada's identity and heritage that resonate with you!

@@WalkingAttractions You should see the Australian Federation Guards who have historic links with the UK but don't have UK king guard uniforms like Canada.

@@ET8k Thanks for sharing that interesting tidbit! It’s fascinating to learn about the different ways countries honor their historical connections, especially through something as visual and symbolic as military uniforms. I’ll definitely look into the Australian Federation Guards and their unique traditions. It’s amazing how each place has its own way of blending history with the present. Thanks again for your comment!

@@user-uf3zi3th6z Thank you for pointing that out! You're correct that Canada's head of state is the British monarch, represented in Canada by the Governor General. It's a unique aspect of Canada's political system that reflects its historical ties with the UK. Appreciate your insight!

I think I came here around that time (86 or 87) on a school field trip. I was in grade 3. I now live in Victoria BC, Canada.
