Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam MP and Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore got to hob nob with royalty last week when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Catherine, toured Canada for their first official visit since their wedding. The tour went off without a hitch and Canadians in several cities got to see the newlyweds, who appeared to enjoy the gruelling round of official occasions and public walk-abouts. Moore was front and centre during many occasions, representing B.C. in what was otherwise a non-event for west coasters.

We don't know what was said or done during some of the quieter moments off-stage, but we trust Moore represented his constituents and British Columbians with aplomb. It appears that Canadians haven't given up their enthusiasm for the monarchy.
