Over here we grew up taking BC Ferries ships to the mainland or the gulf islands for family vacations. All of their boats used to have portraits of the Queen on them, and had for decades. For some reason they keep removing those pictures, causing public protest (mostly from old people and nostalgia hounds like me), and then putting them back. Right now they're on a "let's remove all the portraits" cycle, and I'm worried that no one really cares anymore and that they're gone for good. @Don: Island-specific cultural reference.
