About North America


Narrated by Tom Selleck and featuring Bon Jovi's `Army of One' as its theme song, the sweeping seven-part documentary `North America' captures a land where life collides with hostile, untamed wilderness in one of the most diverse, deadly environments on Earth. The series, which took more than three years to produce, includes stories of animals struggling to survive unforgiving weather and rugged terrain, from the frigid Yukon Territory and the lush forests of Belize, to the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the barren deserts of the American Southwest. A `making of' episode chronicles the challenges faced by the production team, including Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters. … MORE

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to spend part of their time in Canada

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have>. But a big question hovering over the shock news of the pair's part-time move to Canada , what will it cost?

It was said a lot of chatter in Canada since Prince Harry and Meghan, you are a step, would be back as senior royals and will spend part of their time in North America .

The Duchess , to spending time on Canada 's West Coast , with their small son, as the couple of the specific details of their departure from their role as full-time royals, followed with their public outings, eng.

But the most important employment mouse over The Royal couple, the decision to be part of your time in Canada is important, who will pay The Bill - especially if you spend the majority of their time as Private Citizens .

Some have outright rejected the idea of The Public is carrying all the costs for the couple.

The leader of the Bloc Quebecois is a Federal party that represents the interests of Quebec, a province where the attitude towards the Monarchy tends to be frostier, as in the rest of Canada , said Quebec, you should not have to pay a penny.

Yves-François Blanchet, joked he was already paying for a Netflix subscription, where he could observe, The Crown , a drama about Queen Elizabeth Ii ' s government.

He is not alone in that, have to shell out cash.

A survey released This Week by the non-profit Angus Reid Institute showed that 73% of Canadians have no interest in the payment of the cost of the security and other expenses in connection with your move.

"is This view consistent demographic groups, including age, gender, region, or political setting," the organization said in a press release.

Only 3% of respondents said the pollsters, that Canadians should be told to pick up the tab for security and other necessary costs, and 19%, they were in order with the payment of a part of The Bill

The Canadian taxpayers Federation, a taxpayer advocacy group, commented on the current debate, who's going to Ante Up for the cost for members of the Monarchy , differ from those that Bubble Up on a regular basis in Canada .

The country is a constitutional Monarchy whose head of state is Queen Elizabeth Ii and The Royal tours and The Office of General-Governor, which is paid to The Queen 's representative in Canada , by The Public sector.

Royal tours can draw the masses in Canada

"Normally, if we said in debates on the cost of the Monarchy in This Country , there's a pretty clear Line , People , the monarchists and the People , the small" r "Republicans", Aaron Wudrick, the organization of the Federal Manager.

But the relocation of The Duke and Duchess has "changed the dynamics".

"The distinction is a bit of a friend who's coming to dinner and they are happy to prepare your meal-against-the decision to move, you can go and still expect you to cook for them all the time," he said.

"I believe, as many Canadians see it. I don't actually think that it is the dollar figure, it is a General view for People to do, which means a lot, and the ability for themselves should pay for it. "

The Duke and The Duchess have said that they expect the Canadians to pick up the tab, Mr. Wudrick notes, and Federal officials have admitted it is not yet clear how the cost can be shared or what this would cost.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said channel Global News This Week that "there is still a lot of decisions of the Royal Family , the Sussexes, and what commitment you choose to".

the question of The cost for the security is "part of the reflection, to have the needs, and there are talks," he said.

So, while The Queen has consented to the couple, it is the desire to take a step back, as senior royals to be financially independent and prepared to split her time between the UK and Canada , The Details of the transition will be yet.

Mr. Wudrick says that "in the interest of a settlement of any - Maybe this is all a storm in a teapot - it would be helpful if The Duke and Duchess might have some clarity about what their expectations are."

John Michaelson, with the Monarchist League of Canada , right, the answers should come sooner rather than later.

the Majority of Canadians do not spend a lot of time thinking about the Royal Family or their official role in Canada , he says, and the advantages of the device are often hidden from view, the thousands of community, ceremonial, and constitutional legal obligations of The Family and The Queen 's representative, the implementation of the year in the whole country.

The League , regularly publishes reports on the cost of the Canadian crown for the last 20 years " to try and bring The Point home that this is something that we will be of great benefit and it doesn't cost much," he said.

The recording is about C$1. 68 ($1. 29; £0. 99) a year per canadian for The General cost of The Crown , according to their recent study.

Mr Michaelson, says Prince Harry and Meghan's move is to deepen a Chance for the couple to and engagement with organisations such as The Prince 's Trust of Canada , a charitable effort founded by The Prince of Wales in the year 2011.

in the meantime, a columnist for the newspaper the National Post said, The Debate on the likely negligible relative costs for the protection of direct and close ties to Canada 's head of state "has revealed one of the ugliest elements of the Canadian national character".

"is It true, Canada . We are a nation of cheapskates,"

Richard Powers , with Toronto ' s Rotman School of Management, told the BBC that Canada could some of the economic benefits of the famous couple in the country, especially in the non-profit sector.

Prince Harry and Meghan have said they are interested in continuing with their charity work, The Duchess , two Vancouver-based women's organizations to visit This Week .

But Mr. Wudrick rejects the idea that to do the works of charity should be sufficient to open The Public purse.

"If a Hollywood star or a professional-Sport-moving player with a lot of money here, and donate to charity, and you do good things, you [have to pay] for itself," he said.
