His Most Exalted Excellency, Lord Governor Of The Albertalands?

In case you missed it, pardoned criminal and serial passport changer Mr. Conrad Black is no longer a member of Great Britain's House of Lords:

Former media baron Conrad Black, who famously but unsuccessfully sued then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien in his fight to secure a British peerage, has been removed from the House of Lords over his lax attendance.

House of Lords Speaker Lord McFall announced Wednesday (July 10th) that a number of lords have ceased to be members of the House "by virtue of non-attendance," including the Montreal-born Black, known as Lord Black of Crossharbour...


Mr. Black's response?

...When reached Wednesday, Black said he not aware that his membership had been terminated. He told CBC News it didn't really matter to him but he was surprised he wasn't notified first...


But don't cry for he, former Lord Tubby.

After all, given that it was one Mr. Donald J. Trump who pardoned Mr. Black for his federal US'ian crimes...

If and when the petrolbraum portion of the 2025 doctrine is invoked and David Climenhaga's Albertalands are annexed to ensure that fossil fuel extraction keeps on keepin' on, would it be any surprise if Mr. Trump were to name the good Mr. Black governor?

It seems Trump's pay for pardon program started early. A sure money maker!

Jack Black's bass player was right.

Conrad Black is yet another example of self appointed Royalty!

Felons seem to be popular these days.

According to JD Vance and Danielle Smith, just mentioning Black’s title is proof that progressives are homicidal maniacs intent on inciting assassins to violate tRumpublicans: “Lord Black of Cross Harbour” implies “Crosshairs.”

It’s obvious! So there!!
