I don't think anyone other than him does.

I don't get why anyone would want to go through the expense and effort of changing it though either.

The Monarchy, or the names of the Air Force and Navy?

MacKay did say they wouldn't be spending any new money on it - just from this day out ordering anything new to read RCN or RCAF.

Apparently the names RCAF and RCN were never legally taken away - they just administratively weren't used any longer.  They don't even need to pass a law, or Order in Council, to do this.

The names. *shrug* it's no big deal, but I don't get why they're doing it.

Harper has very consciously and deliberately tried to emphasize a more "conservative" Canadian self-image as part of the overall plan to make the Conservatives the "natural governing party".  That includes greater emphasis and respect for both the Canadian military, and the royalty, as well as a greater emphasis on Canadian history and tradition.

All of that combines nicely in bringing back the traditional names.

this thread seems to be getting ready for an Avro Arrow Hijack.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah.
