Elizabeth II and Gary I

News that Queen Elizabeth II, on her current tour of eastern and central Canada, will stop in Waterloo to visit the Research in Motion offices and meet Jim Balsillie has prompted some interesting comments.  "It is not true," stated a Palace spokesperson, "that Her Majesty plans to hit up Mr. Balsillie for a free BlackBerry." 

And Todd Bloomington, sports fan and Royal watcher, says "It is significant that Jim Balsillie is getting more respect from the Queen of England than from Gary Bettman." 

A spokesman for the NHL Commissioner rejected the implied criticism, saying "Mr.Bettman also rules by divine right."
