    Reaffirmed my 'Oath of Citizenship'

    At the swearing-in-new-Canadian-citizens ceremony I attended at Harbourfront, there were 60 new citizens representing 20 different countries, and it was presided over by these two gentlemen:

    On the left is William J S Boyle and on the right Alex Neve, both recipients of 'The Order of Canada' - the highest civilian achievement with only 165 allowed to be in existence at any given time (I've seen one up close here).

    Below I've pasted the exact wording; it's a little off in the episode because I sprung this on them.  And thanks for being great guys.

    Oath of Citizenshipjuly 1 2009

    "I affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance
    to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada,
    Her Heirs and Successors,
    and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada
    and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen."
