He's probably one of those guys who fill the Windows app store with paid apps that tell you how to download Firefox or Opera.
Just put him in your "scum" list and ignore. When idiots like that realise that they're not actually gaining anything worth having from such behaviour, they lose interest.

Is there any resentment in Canada over the British queen being on your bills? Or do people just accept it as a part of life.
I am not entirely sure but I would assume Aussie and Kiwi currency would be the same.

She isn't the British Queen.
She is so, so much more.
One of the things she is is Queen of Canada.
Or to give her her full Canadian title (in English); Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

Bet she's got a big business card with that title?

She's the queen. Her card is a scroll.

No, to appease the Quebecois, it's French on the front in large font, and English on the back in a smaller font ... and the French is so wordy that it spills on to the back!

Well, then I guess the question should have been - do Canadians resent having her as their queen?
|
|
|
|

They're basically a German royal family, changed their name from Saxe-Coberg and Gotha during the first world war cos German's weren't too popular at that time, a trick the branch of the family currently ruling in Belgium also pulled off.

Contrary to what our "beloved leader" says, Canadians of all origins and political stances think the queen is useless and while it is part of our history; it is only a symbol of historical significance.
I'd rather be phishing!

and yet other Canadians do not think this way

Some do, most don't!
Being an ex-Brit, I'm amazed at how most Canadians often seem obsessed by all things British. My son quickly learned that his English accent was a magnet for the ladies! I was once asked by a woman in a coffee shop to place her order so that she could hear me speak (she didn't pay for my coffee though!)
A surprising number of Canadians thought that I should be devastated over Diana's death and excited beyond belief at Kate's baby. I was underwhelmed by both and loved Private Eye's (a British satirical magazine) front page "Woman Gives Birth".

I've had Christian Graus and Chris Maunder tell me that their Australian accents are a hit with people in the States and Canada, but most times I've been somewhere with Christian, they mistook him for a Brit. Most people can't tell the accents apart.

Morons? Really?
My father was from West London and we moved to East London. I can hear the differences between the two accents. I can also tell an Aussie from a Cockney and an Afikaaner, but I'm tuned in to the accents.
I'm willing to bet that not many people from outside London could tell and East Londoner from a West Londoner. There are similarities in London, Aussie and South African accents, especially if you're not tuned in and the accent isn't that strong.
How many Aussies could distinguish between someone from Maine and someone from B.C.?
