cloud747: poor, the poor and homeless


Luxembourg

In Luxembourg three different ministries coordinate their efforts to respond to the needs of the homeless. The Minister for Middle Classes, Tourism and Housing, the Minister for the Family, Social Security and Youth, as well as the Minister of Health all work together in a rather complex system of shared responsibilities.

The key legislation for housing is the law (modified on 25 February 1979) dealing with housing subsidies. This law promotes access to housing for people of low to medium incomes as well as for families and helps facilitate home-ownership.

Since 1999, the Luxembourg government has been working with local authorities to put into place housing policies that will help to meet the growing demands of a growing population. In 2000, following these initial policies, the government launched an Action Programme on Housing whose primary aim is to increase and improve access to housing both in terms of renting and ownership. Unfortunately, many of the measures focus primarily on ownership and neglect the need of a large section of the population who rent accommodation.

Has it not been a tradition for hundreds of years? Granted, the modern queen is a figurehead, not the real ruler, but if you took away the royal families, the UK people would revolt.

It's my understanding that economically, the royal family's (Great Britain) presence rakes in the dough in thousands of ways. Tourists expect to see the pomp and circumstance of pageantry, the Beefeaters, The Changing Of The Guard, and all the rest. In that respect, they are useful, i.e. smaller companies' sales zoom as the crown puts its seal on everything from jellies and teas to coloring books. To us middle class and poorer, it would seem that it is extravagant to have so few have so much. There's always more to something than is apparent. I say let them go ahead and have all the fal de rol---many members of the royal family do volunteer work and use some of their salaries (sic) for philanthropic/charitable purposes. Overall, my belief is probably more good than not comes of it all, so to me that makes it a "keeper".

It's an archaic relic of the past that needs to be done away with. Each and every single one of them are about as useful as a tit on a bull! The royals are nothing more then a bunch of overly bred hillbillies with money and titles. Only the most brain washed sheeple love them and want them around.

Canada is a federal state governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. The country is officially bilingual and multicultural at the federal level, with a population of approximately 33.4 million as of 2011.

The monarchy of Canada is the core of both Canada's federalism and its Westminster-style parliamentary democracy, being the foundation of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Canadian government and each provincial government. The monarchy has been headed since 6 February 1952 by Queen Elizabeth II, who as sovereign is shared equally with fifteen other countries within the Commonwealth of Nations, all being independent and the monarchy of each legally distinct. For Canada, the current monarch is officially titled Queen of Canada (French: Reine du Canada), and she, her consort, and other members of the Canadian Royal Family undertake various public and private functions across the country and on its behalf abroad. However, the Queen is the only member of the Royal Family with any constitutional role. While several powers are the sovereign's alone, because she lives predominantly in the United Kingdom, most of the royal governmental and ceremonial duties in Canada are carried out by the Queen's representative, the governor general. In each of Canada's provinces, the monarch is represented by a lieutenant governor, while the territories are not sovereign and thus do not have a viceroy.

Oh dear looks like she is your queen too. Watcha gonna do about itgrin

theres always talk of making australia a republic,
because they say we will be better off, confused
and the royal family can order us to war, rolling on the floor laughing
i am not for or against but if some one can tell me how we will be better off after spending a few hundred million dollars just to call the governor general the president i might become a republican

lets say the queen says ( and she never would ) you have to go to war,
the government says no way,,,,whats anyone going to do,,nothing !!!
we are independent in every way,the royal family is just a figure head,
and should we just keep flushing history down the toilet

For someone so concerned about the indigenous people of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia, one would have thought that you would know that Lap, Lapp, or Laplanders,or Lapish as you made up for yourself, are regarded as pejorative terms. Sami would be the word you'd use.
