Canada's Wedding Gift To Royalty

A Toaster Just Wouldn't Do

What does a country give as a wedding gift to the future King of the Empire? Tupperware or a really nice toaster just wouldn't do.

How does a $50,000 gift sound? That's more like it, but do they really need a $50,000 gift to get the young couple started in life, or do they have a bit of a leg up on most young couples?

Well, $50,000 is exactly what the Government of Canada is presenting as a wedding gift, however, Prince William and Miss Middleton have chosen the Canadian Coast Guard Auxillary as the beneficiary of a special charitable fund to aid the organization in the excellent work they do in the area of search and rescue.

So the Canadian Government (that is you and I) are making the donation to the Canadian Coast Guard Auxillary in honour of the upcoming royal marriage.
