Meanwhile the Journal de Montréal is telling us that Poutine* has become a threat to humanity.

A meme-poster from the 2016 Republican primaries promoting Texas senator Ted Cruz as not being the lesser of two evils when he ran against Donald Trump. A side profile photo of Ted Cruz on the right looks toward a slogan saying: FINALLY! A CHOICE THAT ISN'T THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS! Ted Cruz 2016

Speaking of Texas and "the lesser of two evils", I was quite surprised, but also quite amused, when Lone Star State senator Ted Cruz ran against Donald Trump as not being #TheLesserOfTwoEvils, & thus being #TheGreaterOfTwoEvils during the 2016 Republican primaries. 🤣😇

Definition of DIGNITARY one who possesses exalted rank or holds a position of dignity or honor… See the full definition

"Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, is the highest dignitary from Great Britain attending, but he is not doing it as a representative of the Royal Family."

Does it depend upon what the meaning of the word "dignitary" is?

It seems "Canada's language watchdog" has "memory holed" that quite amusing post.

In a comment paraphrasing a famous utterance of former POTUS William Jefferson Clinton aka Bill Clinton aka Slick Willie I asked:

Est-ce que ça dépend du sens du mot "queue"? 🤣
